Disco Elysium: Big Estonian Business Drama
Episode description
If there's two things that Iolanthe and Yule love, it's gaming and Baltic countries. Chop Chop!'s 'Disco Elysium' podcast examines a pairing of both in a ballistic explosion of contradictory business values.
Inspired by People Make Games' video essay 'Investigation: Who's Telling the Truth About Disco Elysium', Iolanthe and Yule give a brief overview of the remarkably colorful characters and core plot points of the tale, before unpacking aspects of business practice that contributed to the effective failure of a premium gaming property. It's a real 'what not to do' for creatives who want to bring colleagues and collaborators along on the ride to commercial success.
