CD Projekt Red has joined the not so hallowed halls of the Dirty Devs. However, since this is due to the CORPORATE people in charge, and not actually the developers, I have decided to title the video “Corpo Rats” both in honor of the Cyberpunk universe and because the developers should not be held accountable for the actions of their superiors. Make no mistake, with the lies they have engaged in over Cyberpunk 2077, as well as the recent actions of GOG over the video game Devotion, they have earned their spot on this list.

  1. 14:37 I agree with you here. I actually enjoyed the game too, but I am also upset, because it could have been so much better if every recently promised feature would also be in the game. What was the point of night city wire if most features weren't in the game? The vision of mike pondsmith could have become a reality and with it we could enjoy an immersive functional world with a lot of choice and upcoming dlcs and mods. This game has probably the most impressive looking city I have ever seen in a videogame and nice music too.
    What I really disliked were the shallow dialog options. It didn't matter what you say, outcome is always the same in many cases. Ending could not be influenced with your playstyle. Doing sidequests opened a single extra option for me.

  2. Hey Mr Alpha.
    I think CxOs have to disclose trades of their own co's stock, right? Did anyone in the C-suite dump a load of shares right before release? Or perhaps during that week or so when the true scale of the disaster was still sinking in?
    Did all of them?
    If so, that would explain a lot.
    I mean otherwise it makes no sense. The game is unplayable on the platforms 90% of their customers own. You see what I'm getting at?
    Why, exactly, did CDPR's stock tank? How much of it was held internally? How much of its value was riding on 2077 hype, which CDPR execs actively inflamed?
    IDK, talk about a dirty dev. Seems like this is right up your alley. Might be worth a look.

  3. I gave up cause my save kept on going over 8mb and getting corrupted, had to go back to my earlier saves 3 times before i said fuck this and trying to get my refund.

  4. What keeps amazing me is that seemingly people in position of leadership somehow automatically lose 100 IQ points. Ok, you embargo the stuff, but wouldn't you think people would find out and report after the embargo is lifted? Because the profit you thought you raked in, you now lose to rework, write off, and legal fees. A lie may be quick, but the truth will always, always catch up.

    Leadership should facilitate, make sure projects stay on target. Developers should indicate what is feasable. And yes, there is and always be a point of contention, but CDPR is a classroom example of how NOT to do it.

    And indeed Cyberpunk 2077 is contentwise a good game/enjoyable. It is such a shame that leadership pushed for all the wrong reasons indeed.

  5. what a silly hill for cdpr corpo to die on.. all that hard earned reputation, just thrown to the gutter in an ea style burn all for bucks.

    i do worry for cdpr's future, because as always, it is the hard working folk on the floor that suffer the mistakes, incompetancy, or disregard, of those in boardroom.

  6. The funniest thing from this whole debacle is all the people that are trying to bring the news about it are completely butchering polish names in all their own unique ways xD

    But seriously from what I checked Google Translate can pronounce names pretty well but I know that our pronouncitation itself can be hard even if you know how it should sound. Anyway, keep up the good work! 🙂

  7. I've just finished the game on PC and I didn't get any game-breaking bugs. Just a few funny glitches that don't really change the overall experience. I still think it's not a very good game. Average at best. People tend to say that the game is good if you ignore all the technical issues but I disagree. It's not on par with what CPR used to deliver in the past. Not a bad game for sure, but not a good game either. Very average and underwhelming considering all the hype around it for years. Even if it was released in a perfect technical state, with zero bugs and a very polished experience on all platforms, I would still consider it a 6 out of 10 at best. People seem to have very low standards. Add on top of that all the technical issues, especially on consoles, and you'll understand why people are not happy. I personally left a negative review on steam. Being a big fan of The Witcher franchise (I played all the games, read all the books, I have 800+ hours on TW3) I'm very disappointed by CPR with CP2077….

  8. Actually who do you think their majority share holder is? Why do you think they bent the knee to china on the pull request, cause china's Tencent is majority share holder. So with all that happened do you really think it was CDPR's move or Tencent's move to crash their stocks and buy up more? I think the latter to gain more control on a company.

    Now you need to think how easy it is for a majority share holder to manipulate a company, all they have to do is say " well if you don't do "_______" then we will remove our stocks. " This is why the game industry/ media in general is going to shit. Some shamelessly plug Tencent's branding on the cover, look at TopGun 2.

    As for unplayable consoles that was the base consoles, not the pro/ one X or next gen, it worked fine on those.

  9. I'm amazed at the angry fan bois/gals in the comments, heck I was hyped for Cyberpunk too but I wont let that hype make me into a unthinking moron who says "well it's working fine for me, you cry babys" ect~

  10. I'm wondering what would happen if countries would investigate these claims, of the Chinese meddling in companies.
    sadly the Chinese use our legal system against us, so they probably would get away with it.

    (I have seen an uptick in Chinese spy? getting kicked out of countries for trying to bribe companies)

  11. What is the biggest problem? Simple Dev's are too nice.
    I see the same thing happen in the company I work at.
    For some reason or other, you will allowance have a deadline, or the person that is paying the bill just doesn't care about it,
    or won't see the importance of something. and as a developer you get questions like: Well can it be done later?
    and lest be honest Yes you can do everything later (that's the job of a dev, you make it work even tho it might make NO Sence)

  12. The “rank and file” may not be responsible for the lies but they are responsible for the state this game was in when it got pushed out the door. If this is the fruit of nearly 8 years of work, they all need to consider a new career path.

  13. From the information I have with CP2077 is that the game is way too rushed about 3 years too early. It lacks too much details compared to other games; It lacks ai, lacks effect, proper function, lacks optimization, and lacks features.

  14. I know many corp management like to rush out unfinish product but this one here is all on the Developers, you can't blame the managements for not giving them enough time, the project was delayed numerous time so they can finish the damn thing. How many of you have a boss that said here is over 200 million production budget to burn in 8 years of time and just give me a working game?. The developer obviously accepted something more than they can chew on.

  15. Great title they are corpo rats, I feel bad for the hard working developers at CDPR who were hand cuffed by greedy board of directors. Such a shame to show such greed, especially given the global pandemic.

  16. They should've dropped console support all together and just focused on optimizing it for the highest end PC's if they really cared about making a "good game" and not about making money. But then again they'd be broke and we wouldn't have even got a release XD But seriously though, they really could've used some help from the Fox Engine devs. What a truly optimized engine is capable of.

  17. I like CDPR in general due to how they create a game and any DLC is actual content that takes at least an hour to play if you have to buy it or not.

    I'll also state that they should have dropped current gen consoles from their roster and came out to state why as both Xbox and Playstation forces them to keep the last gen for their games as well.

    I have played and will continue to play Cyberpunk as it's an amazing games (PC), and I have seen bugs which most of them made me laugh. Most are fixed by a quick load, or re-open of the game and I have only hit a few game breaking bugs that had been fixed.

    This comment was made before I watched the video, but it will be watched and I will most likely agree with Sid, and also see minor flaws as sadly CDPR is a company and to deliberately knee cap themselves financially on their biggest game yet would be dumb. Though until they make up for what they did title is/was well deserved. (edited due to typos)

  18. CDPR tried to pull an EA or Bethesda, hype a broken unfinished game for massive day one sales in hopes stock prices soar so they can sell out at a high price. They failed, as they should have, and ruined their rep along the way as they were not as big EA or Bethesda nor had the high caliber legal team as those scum bags. They are trash on the same moral level as EA if you ask me.
