Disco Elysium wasn't developed through the typical game development model. Back in 2005, a novelist/musician named Robert Kurvitz formed an artist/philosophy collective in Estonia. The collective failed to produce much except alcoholism and poverty, but they did come up with a bunch of fun worldbuilding. Robert Kurvitz published a novel exploring some of these ideas in 2013, which never saw publication outside of Estonia. In 2015, Kurvitz and his fellow artists decided to try taking one of the worlds they developed and turn it into a video game.

An Estonian businessman named Margus Linnamäe decided to invest in the game project. The dev team ended up being about 50 people (35 of which worked out of a squat in Estonia.)

Then in 2022, Kurvitz and his 2 other artist/philosopher-collective-colleagues were fired from the game dev company.

This was not shocking given the game's art-house origin. The game's businessmen investors wanted to make all the money that they could, and the artist/philosophers didn't want to see their art milked for all its worth. The specific intricacies are hidden under legal settlements, but it's basically just that classic tale. Musicians vs record executives.

The game studio, lacking its creative leadership, also laid off staff.

The picture was mixed overseas. Hong Kong’s Hang Seng Index fell 1.6%, under pressure from U.S. regulatory scrutiny on New York-listed Chinese companies. Stocks were more buoyant in Europe, where Frankfurt’s DAX surged 1.4%. Channels are not fully encrypted, end-to-end. All communications on a Telegram channel can be seen by anyone on the channel and are also visible to Telegram. Telegram may be asked by a government to hand over the communications from a channel. Telegram has a history of standing up to Russian government requests for data, but how comfortable you are relying on that history to predict future behavior is up to you. Because Telegram has this data, it may also be stolen by hackers or leaked by an internal employee. Despite Telegram's origins, its approach to users' security has privacy advocates worried. In a statement, the regulator said the search and seizure operation was carried out against seven individuals and one corporate entity at multiple locations in Ahmedabad and Bhavnagar in Gujarat, Neemuch in Madhya Pradesh, Delhi, and Mumbai. Stocks dropped on Friday afternoon, as gains made earlier in the day on hopes for diplomatic progress between Russia and Ukraine turned to losses. Technology stocks were hit particularly hard by higher bond yields.
