Poland in 2023 after CDPR is unable to sell any games and their economy no longer exists
pole cope hourThe game is a smashing success
CDPR's reputation is in the shitter right now. They went from most beloved to hated nearly as much as EA overnight.

428.119 reviews on 6 year old The Witcher 3 and 322.299 reviews on 2 month old Cyberpunk 2077.
These mutherfuckers are swimming in money.
What do you think that will do to their next game?

Depends. Will their next game be called The Witcher 4? If yes, they'll get that money.
Wasn't this article made very shortly after the release? And before the announcement about refunding the game (after the issues with the game became apparent on all platforms)? If so, then that's not the full picture. Unless people really didn't feel like refunding.Game cost more to make than GTA 5 and won't sell even 1/3rd of what it did.The gaming is a smashing success despite the whining of cucks and soyboys whom had a fantastical idea of a dream game in their head that was never going to translate into reality.
The game recouped its costs with the preorders alone.

I'm not a fan of Sawyer, but he is actually right about this. A development project of the size of Cyberpunk cannot be saved on a developer level if the planning is terrible and the vision unclear. And he is also right that poor planning will lead to a lot of developers leaving the company (usually the talented ones are the first to go as they have options). In the mid term, poor planning will absolutely hurt the company even if you somehow manage to deliver each of your deathmarch projects. That said, I would never work for Sawyer (or in gaming development in general).ofc the guy who has created repeat failures thinks there's no such thing as "dev magic"Sawyer comments!
Finally someone who understands this. Stocks value (and CDPRD IS a public company) depends a lot on reputation. Look at Tesla: they produce crappy EVs that catch fire, even when they're parked in a garage, and have an autopilot with suicidal tendencies and yet they market cap is bigger than GM just because people believe Elon Musk is a sort of genius.It's not about the sales, it's about their reputation.
I'm not sure why that's so hard to understand. People bought this game on the back of Witcher 3's reputation. What do you think that will do to their next game?
Same here. 90% of his videos are reading up interviews and articles, with 10% original though. A shorter video with only the 10% original thought would be more enjoyable.Kinda wish YongYea condenses his news instead of spamming, I kinda like what AngryJoe does, which he makes 2 vids every week where they cover most news and be done with it. Nowadays I just look at the headline for YongYea and move on.
I just downvote any one of those idiots who think reading articles out loud on youtube brings any value.Kinda wish YongYea condenses his news instead of spamming, I kinda like what AngryJoe does, which he makes 2 vids every week where they cover most news and be done with it.

Interesting, thanks. I guess I'd assume internal projections to be on the conservative side, but that's pure speculation on my part. I expect CDPR's priority will be to hop back into Sony's jockstrap by end of February at the very latest, and they may be able to course-correct through 2021.
Like I said, they are not out of the woods until they put the game back on the PS store:Finally someone who understands this. Stocks value (and CDPRD IS a public company) depends a lot on reputation.

My guess is this message was meant to inspire confidence in the console audience, warm them up in advance of an update which will put the game back on the playstation store. This is CDPR's real and highest priority - getting the game back on the playstation store. It's not placating PC gamers. So we shouldn't read things into it that are not there.
Adam Badowski, aka The Big Bad, has few thoughts

Indeed:The moment I read "hurr durr the E3 demo was fake" I was like. What the fuck does it even mean for a demo to be "fake"? Immediately sounded like a bullshit buzzword to me. Badowski is right to blast Schreier for that schtick.
And I was pleasantly surprised (the only other game I played in PL was TW3 and it was just excellent).Tried polish language.. lol. Incomparable to english version. Feels like watching some soap drama. Definitely do not recommend anyone playing like that.

CDPR tanking could actually be a blessing for Poland. They sold their souls to the West already, while at the same time sucking all the developers from around Poland to their company, and Polish companies making good games (like Vendetta) have no developers causing their games to be technically broken on release and take years to fix, but that often is too late and these games flop even if they end up being great afterwards.Poland in 2023 after CDPR is unable to sell any games and their economy no longer exists
