Don't buy Disco Elysium. Pirate it.

Original devs got screwed over by the publisher and have encouraged folks to pirate it as not to let the publisher profit from their shittiness.

I get the principled reason to do this. But most people aren't set up to pirate. And even if they were, it's inconvenient to have games not attached to their steam library. I don't think anyone should deprive themselves of this masterpiece.

If the prospect of pirating is holding you back, just buy it. The game is too good to miss out
