There is a moment in one of the No-Clip documentaries on Disco Elysium (Part 4: Art) where Rostov talks about how artists went from a respected profession under the soviets to a shunned group fighting eachother for meagre grants. I was surprised to learn that some estimates of DEs budget was as high as 3 million euros. While Disco Elysium is a unique creation of talented artists, I guarantee you could walk into any city in the world with 3 million and probably come out of it with the makings of another ZA/UM. What they make probably wouldn't resemble DE in any way but I know for sure it would be better than any successor game that will come from these studios.
DE had some amazing art but I feel like the main thing is the writing, so I have hope that wherever the writers went we'll have something pretty good.
