The game's got me in an iron grip as of recently and all I think about is the game: the concepts, the gameplay, the narration. I literally dream of the game every other night and I've caught myself on numerous occasion explaining certain things I say with checks I've rolled and passed or failed. It's kinda nuts.

Unfortunately, I don't have too much time to play because I've got school for way too long and have to commute around 2h a day. Getting the game for Switch would be an option, but it's not really worth it to whip out the Switch for that short a commute. A mobile port would be amazing for me because I've always got my phone on me and the gameplay lends itself to short play sessions, I imagine. It's absolutely also a game you can sink several hours at a time into, but half hour bursts of gameplay also would work well, I imagine.

I've seen that the reception to the announcement was rather negative, however. How come? What do you guys think of it?

"Disco Elysium for the TikTok generation" is an oxymoron. It's like reading a 100 page abridged Readers Digest version of James Joyce's Ulysses. It's missing the point.

Furthermore, I am uncomfortable with changes and alterations being made to the game without the original creators participating. It's the same reason I am vehemently against the extra fanfiction added in the Collage Mode patch, which at least Argo Tuulik I believe it was (or maybe Martin Luiga) has said should be considered non-canon.

Finally, none of the minds who created the world and the writing we all love will get a cent from this mobile game. The only original creator still in the studio is Anton Vill I believe, who drew the thought cabinet.
