dil toots... I really am in 2 minds now whether to play at launch or wait for the next gen patch......
MULTI Cyberpunk 2077 - Base game + Phantom Liberty sales cross 30 million copies!
- Thread starter Necrokiller
- Start date
The best console version to play at launch will be either Series X/S or PS5 version. They have the horsepower to push 60fps.
The briefing scene shows the "development build" disclaimer at the top.
Not that dumb and dumber cared but, there you go lol

Speaking of not aging well, CDPR continues to fail to improve their shitty culture or face the music.
Hopefully, they are using the crunch and delay to fix their character models.

Man, other studios must be feeling really bad right about now. CDPR paying for overtime while they themselves have to fight for pay owed to them. Good guy Poland 
"Mandatory" crunch while already having an existing continued on-going crunch culture.
Man, wonder how many devs will wanna stick around after gold and them getting their dues.
Ah, the Trump apologist Colin Moriarty. I wonder if CDPR is pro-Trump as well. They've demonstrated his traits in the past with their take on sensitive social issues.
Considering the kind of things their twitter account posts every now and then, it's safe to say the twitter handler has all the subtlety and nuance of a baseball to the face
Speaking of, looks like PG-favorite Jason Schrier is getting the usual crap from the usual kind of fans.
ND saazish! They added glitches and design flaws in CP 2077 and forced CPDR into crunch. Screw them. You go CPDR!
Cyberpunk 2077 Publisher Orders 6-Day Weeks Ahead of Launch
Polish video game developer CD Projekt Red told employees on Monday that six-day work weeks will be mandatory leading up to the November release of the highly anticipated Cyberpunk 2077, reneging on an earlier promise to not force overtime on the project.

Respect for CDPR for tackling these issues head on and rightfully compensating the hard working developers.
Not even acknowledging these issues and pushing them under the rug is the worst way to go about it that we know for a fact some studios do.
Let's say CDPR generates $40 Million annual profit for the year 2020. 10% of that is $4 Million. There are around 500 people working on Cyberpunk 2077. 4,000,000 / 500 = $8000 per individual and that's assuming everyone is paid equally, which is likely not the case. Not to mention, they also have 3 other studios working on the game, namely Qloc, Testronic and Lionbridge.

So .. mandatory crunch and the promise of a dangling bonus structure, the kind of which almost every company has anyway ...
PG's new favorite Skill Up weighs in:
As much as I hate to say it but this is the norm in the software industry (gaming/non-gaming). Whenever there's a launch or a release deadline, you almost always put in late hours and weekend work. In some places (read: shitty), this is the norm, release deadline or not.
What's shitty is unpaid extra work so if they're being paid, its fine.

Yep. This is what makes Naughty Dog's culture the shittiest around. They don't even acknowledge the torture crunch culture in their comapny.
Exactly. What is the big deal? Just delay the game till Christmas or something. That won't even be a surprise anymore since the game has been delayed many times for similar reasons. Many people even expected another delay.
The worst/best part is that some are latching onto that "10% bonus" as the best thing ever when the wording clearly states its something they have done annually for years, its not something new just for the benefit of the employees being forced to crunch lol.
Additionally from Jason Schrier:
This is just the first instance where CDPR (or any company at all ?) have officially mandated crunch, on top of the crunch employees already do and CDPR's multiple failed promises to curb crunch culture.
No wonder you read things about employees being unhappy and bad retention all the way back from 2015 (and before):
Now watch how quickly this thread about a CDPR game and the mistreatment of CDPR employees will turn into a thread about another completely unrelated company

Phil should be held responsible for this shitfest too, just like Sarah, but it's highly likely that these decisions are coming from Satya. And this isn't even the end of it. More closures are coming.

SolitarySoldier:
if we are moving towards more and more popular trash across platforms that make billions for companies, I'm happy with all the barriers and exclusivity because at least that brings some pressure to create good stuff.

SolitarySoldier:
Phil keeps talking about breaking barriers to gaming, making it accessible on all platforms yada yada, while killing competition and creativity at the same time. the fact that i actually believed him for a second lol

SolitarySoldier:
"These changes are not a reflection of the creativity and skill of the talented individuals at these teams or the risks they took to try new things" ... seems to me that's exactly what it is

XPremiuM:
Microsoft deserves all the hate they can get. Seriously i can't explain how much i want to curse them out. -
XPremiuM:
They could've sold the studios instead of closing them, but the nazi bastards just didn't want competition down the road.
-
XPremiuM:
What's the f*** is wrong with them? I mean really? Have they completely lost it? F***ing retards.
-
XPremiuM:
So i just found out that f***ing s***bag Microsoft shut down Arkane Studio (makers of the brilliant Dishonored series) and Tango Gameworks (makers of the iconic The Evil Within series), among some other studios. I just want to say a giant F*** Y**! to Microsoft. THEY'VE F***ED UP BIG TIME this time.

XPremiuM:
Started Dead Island 2, and i find it pretty lame. The story is shit. The characters are either cringe or bland (all 6 of them), The gameplay isn't fun. Even the goddamn zombies don't behave like proper zombies. They're all fast & intelligent unlike how zombies are supposed to be like. Any fan of "zombie" genre cannot possibly like this shitfest of a game. Dying Light 2 was million times better than this shit.

tbh gaming industry as a whole is failing much like tech industry. They have buckled down too much to Corporate suites then relying on passionate and innovative people. A corporate only believes in financial growth and shareholders.Necrokiller said:
