People Make Games made a lengthy documentary on this subject. It's surprisingly more complicated than it sounds with many writers, artists, and developers within the company coming forward to say that the original lead writers were toxic to work with and rightfully removed from the team. They created an incredible world with huge potential, but much of the work of bringing it to life was done by a full team of creators who still work for ZA/UM. Ultimately, yes, I would really like to see Kurvitz, Rostov, and Hindpere start a new game studio, hopefully having learned from their mistakes (both in business and in relation to their colleagues).
the People Make Games documentary about the Disco Elysium case was a heavily biased piece that unintentionally(?) served as a PR job for ZA/UM, meant to muddy the waters around the actual reason for Kurvitz, Rostov and Hindpere's removal. It is indeed possible that Kurvitz was a complete slob and a total asshole during production, but that doesn't erase the fact that a majority of the unethical business practises and abuse that happened at ZA/UM were due to Management.
