Muricans keep mixing up communism and socialism. How quaint.

"The goal of Socialism is Communism."
- Vladimir Lenin.

"These are, in short, the basic laws of socialism as a science, requiring that it be treated as a science. If you understand this – everything will be fine with the construction of socialism in China. If you don’t understand, you will bring a lot of harm to the world communist movement."
- Joseph Stalin, From a conversation with a delegation of the Communist Party of China. Morcow, July 11th, 1949.

Also, both Marx and Engles themselves make no distinctions between Socialism and Communism in either Das Kapital or The Communist Manifeto.

If the most prominent proponents of the system don't differentiate between the two, no one else should.
Everything else is just a game of semantics.

You are quoting extremists.

Modern socialism and modern capitalism are too often connected to the past.

I have been reading some interviews and stories about the staff members that left, and frankly, It's shocking they weren't kicked out sooner, complete fucking goons. Childish. That studio is wacky enough already, and I have very little sympathy or patience for any of them. I am not gonna be sad if Disco 2 never gets made and this company goes under.

Good article on the subject here :

Classical example of a prolific creative space (or the countless fandoms which shared the same fate) being colonized by the progressive, cosmopolitan and liberal upper caste.

Is today Medium day or something? Lol

They sound like a bunch of hippies that ran into a capitalist brick wall.

They are considering their legal options which is a good thing.
If the matters are as they describe them, they will hopefully find some favorable resolution and (possibly) be back working on their creation.

If liking universal healthcare makes you a communist I'm a communist.
