Samantha Béart, a voice actor from Baldur's Gate 3, has publicly stated her refusal to participate in any successor to Disco Elysium that excludes Robert Kurvitz, the lead writer who was ousted during a controversial studio takeover. Following disputes surrounding its development, ZA/UM has faced significant backlash from the gaming community, leading to calls for the game's original creators to reclaim their rights. Amidst ongoing rivalries among new studios creating spiritual successors, Béart emphasizes the importance of involving the original creators.
"To the next studio that tries this: If your 'spiritual successor' to Disco Elysium does not involve creator Robert Kurvitz, then save both of us some time and miss me with that casting call."
"The company founded on its principles 'no longer represents the ethos it was founded on.'"
