The maker of Disco Elysium ZA/UM has justified its decision for firing key members of its development team.
In a statement to GamesIndustry.biz, the studio said that this was due to them neglecting their duties, creating a toxic work environment, as well as misconduct towards other members of stuff. Oh, and ZA/UM alleges that dismissed employees tried to illegally sell intellectual property that belonged to the studio.
This follows a report with Estonian Ekspress in which ZA/UM CEO Ilmar Kompus said that the studio had a “toxic environment”. He also accused designer Robert Kurvitz and minority shareholder Saandar Taal of “humiliating colleagues and intending to steal IP.”
Earlier this year, it emerged that Kurvitz, writer Helen Hindpere and art director Aleksander Rostov had been dismissed in 2021.
