You mean Zero Parades? the game that debuted to extraordinary critical acclaim but sold a handful of copies? The lack of sales is not due to piracy, nobody cares about the game, it has no cultural impact. It’s not Disco Elysium, that’s lightning in a bottle. What corporate scum never seem to realize is that you can’t buy a reputation, nor can you pay to get rid of a bad one.
Nobody want’s ZP, because it is not DE and it was not made by the people who did DE. No matter how bad of a tantrum a corporate suit throws.
Now, this one is a funny story you brought up, because the people at ZA/UM are actually unionized (those who remained in 2022 and those who were hired later). And I would bet inordinate amounts of money that if they weren’t for the union, the studio would’ve been closed instead of just laying off 32 people.
Go cry about how much you want to give more money to faceless people who are already millionaires.
Follow up: a bunch of these employees just got fired the other day because their second game didn’t sell well enough.
It’s not about them making money directly; it’s about whether the studio continues to exist at its current size, which it no longer will.
