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.
