A polish site is reporting the rumor that The Witcher: Rise of the White Wolf has been canned:

http://www.incgamers.com/News/16127/TheWitcherRiseoftheWhiteWolfCancelled

So far, just a No Comment from CD Projekt.

Please begin the hundredth discussion of the following items:

1. Is the Witcher an RPG?
2. Is the Witcher a good game?
3. Are the Choices and Consequences in the Witcher real or fake?
4. How much does CD Projekt suck for hyping up their patches?
5. PCs are so much better than consoles, and only fucking retards play console games, amirite?!!

In before DU Witcher bitching
Look at the post above you. This news carries such empty weight that you can neither bitch or praise about it.

Nobody cares. Alpha Protocol is the real bitching item. White Wolf is neither interesting nor disgusting enough.

The rumors are that CDProjekt are in some serious shit right now. They fired most of the Witchers CDPRed devs and people working in CDP publishing department. One milion sold copies isn't enough these days.

Shit.
That would suck immensely. Witcher was a good game and the company certainly has the heart at the right spot. Is this the proof that in today's capitalism you can only survive if you're making overhyped simple games with utter fucktards as the target audience.

Shit knows, another site claims that CDPRed haven't suffered much. According to it, most men were fired from publishing and translation department, so it might be somewhat good as english translation of The witcher sucked donkey balls.

More like if you're going to make a niche game, don't put a AAA budget behind it in order to have kewl backflip animations.

IIRC, the Witcher was never intended to make money by itself. It was more CDP trying to get a foothold in the market, build a solid fanbase and make money from those foundations. Guess they "invested" their surplus money in the end of the pyramid scheme called financial market.
A shame if they get go down, since they, at least vocally, had their hearts in the right place. Couldn't care less about any cancelled console game, though.

Nope, they suck. The Witcher is just a diablo clone. And a poor one at that.

>>>CD Projekt is also on of the two main game publishers in Poland. The game making department is only small part of their activity.

Just frustrated. I bought an Xbawks solely in anticipation of this. Think I can get a refund?

That is the stupidest thing I've ever read on the Codex. Congratulations, bitch.

I remember buying a few games from Cenega, and only one of them arrived on time and without problems.

Also, nearly all of them have more or less awful translations or at least used to.

>>>Hey. At least their classic series had some classical titles beside usual 3 years old games that got a price-cut. The translations weren't so bad IMO, but I remember that they got bashed pretty often when Cenega was starting. Hoewer I don't think that they were as bad as legendary-bad first HoMM III translation (pre CD-Projekt one).
