Belated Friday's News:
* Footwear manufacturer Red Wing Shoes announced that they have recently created Mario themed replica shoes in celebration of the upcoming Super Marios Bros Movie. It was also announced that the shoes are a pixel-perfect replica of the iconic shoes worn by Mario. It was also announced that the shoes are not available for sale because they don't like making a big pile of money or whatnot.
* As noted before, Studio ZA/UM, developer of Disco Elysium, recently announced that they have settled several lawsuits filed by former employees over claims of unfair firings and dismissals. In a recent update, former employees Robert Kurvitz and Sander Taal stated in an interview with Eurogamer that they currently dispute the claims made by the company over the lawsuits being "misguided" and without real merit.

We disagree,” reads the duo’s response. “Kender’s lawsuit was based on the misuse of ZA/UM’s funds (€4.8m) by the majority shareholders Kompus and Haavel to increase their own stake in the company. In the press release, Kompus and Haavel admit to this misuse, arguing only that the money has been “paid back to ZA/UM”.
“Paying back stolen money, however, does not undo the crime; here, it does not undo the majority that Kompus and Haavel have illegally gained in ZA/UM […] Kompus and Haavel silenced Kender on this matter, but they will not silence us. Unlike Kender, we have not participated in the looting of ZA/UM, and Kompus and Haavel have no power over us.”
