The infighting is how you know they are leftist

I think this Moola guy is associated with Kaur Kender, someone who is not a leftist and didn’t have much at all to do with the game other than screw Robert Kurvitz out of ZA/UM and his IP. These are the crooks who stole the game, in other words.

It's uhh, fucking strange. While Kaur Kender did have something to do with the hostile takeover and looting of the company (possibly a fuck ton), he and the two main culprits, two estonian finance mobsters, Toni Havel and Ilmar Kompus, had some sort of falling out after the takeover was succesful, which ended up in a lawsuit between them (it was later settled or dropped), leading to Kender joining a different off-shoot studio called Dark Math Games (he recently resigned as Director, but his brother Heiti Kender ended up in the same seat afterwards).

If Argo's recent tweets are correct, it would seem that Moola from Longdue if suing both Argo's Summer Eternal and the Kenders's Dark Math at the same time as ZAUM, for ''entirely different reasons'' they both claim.

on the other hand, Kurvitz and the core team are still MIA.

Kurvitz was working in another studio in the UK AFAIK. They've not announced anything yet.

Yeah he and Rostov, and I think Helen Hindpere too, have a studio called Red Info.

It basically exists as some legal documents and investments as far as the public is concerned.
