ZA/UM, the studio that made it, had a creative team that all coalesced around a particular idea of creative freedom. They were more or less Estonian neo-Communists. Based on some funding fuckery, and contract fuckery, after the final version of the game--a game which was extremely critical of, specifically, capitalism and economically-moderate status-quo humanism--they were more or less fired by the heads of the funding and organizational teams that helped the studio function as a company. I think at least two of the main creative leads splintered off to start establishing projects that are more or less spiritual sequels of the game they originally created. The original studio talked about doing a mobile game with the property, I'm fairly certain the partner with the majority stake in ZA/UM is being sued by Robert Kurvitz, who was more or less considered the central brain behind the project, having written a novel that was set in the same universe long before the game was being developed. The writing is good, but the game is pretty undeniably politically biased, and in spite of its clear visual style, and verve, it's pretty gay.
