I dunno I love Disco Elysium but that company can fuck right off. They wrestled away the IP from the original creators and the sequel was certain to be a confused hack job with no sense of what made the original so special. The game is definitely worth playing but it's hard to advocate giving them any money when none of it goes to the artists who made it :\
Yeah to be honest my friend told me the other day "DE2 got cancelled" and I was surprised because I thought the company was already basically defunct after what happened. I mean there is no way a DE2 could be anything other than a soulless cash grab after everything anyway so there's not really much to do other than to shrug your shoulders at this news.
Also this is one of the few instances I'd advocate pirating an indie game
