New information regarding a legal battle between partners at Disco Elysium studio ZA/UM has surfaced, this time surrounding ownership of the IP and misuse of company funds.
The dispute is between two parties; one side consists of Disco Elysium creatives Robert Kurvitz and Aleksander Rostov - who were allegedly forced out of ZA/UM late last year – and Kaur Kender, executive producer on the game, who left in August.
The other half is current ZA/UM CEO Ilmar Kompus and former executive producer Tõnis Haavel, also an ex-banker convicted of investment fraud in 2015. Kompus is the largest shareholder in Studio ZA/UM, and Kurvitz, Rostov and Kender remain partners, despite their departures.
