It's also unclear what price the files were sold for, but reports yesterday indicated an upfront purchase price of $7 million.

That's huge. It's stealing the magicians trick book. You obviously can't resell the same games but now a dedicated agenda can deconstruct their assets, programming tricks, the Red engine, how they created their games and use that mold and mined shit to sell to other companies, I'm sure.

You'll eventually see all the assets and models directly be added to shady mods or freeware asset flip projects but beyond that you have the recipe book to how they make and program their games.

CDPR deserves every bad thing that happens to them imo. They took consumers for a fucking ride, and even though a bunch of said consumers are too much of marks to realize they were conned, they were conned all the same. Company deserves shit

The execs deserve this but not the actual developers who were exploited

I'd agree if they did this regularly, like some companies do. But honestly, CDPR have excellent history of being good dudes, they fucked up one game. And from what I can gather, they do intend to fix it, they're just not the fastest at doing so.

They don't need to regularly do this, the one time they did it they did it in a horrific way. They knew the game on console was broken to the point of being unplayable. They knew it wasn't even passable on any single level, it was completely broken in every way it could be broken. What did they do? They wouldn't let reviewers review console version, they only let them play on PC and forced them to use their footage. That is reprehensible. They knew console viewers would look at those reviews and throw their money at them for it all while knowing they wouldn't even get a game that was playable. There is no going back from that and there is nothing that can be said besides saying that they conned people into paying for a broken mess. There is no other way to put it, they conned people. This wasn't one mistake that got overlooked.

That said they don't deserve this, especially the innocent people in the company, but I feel zero sympathy for all the people who made the decision to con console gamers and they need to do a whole lot to ever be forgiven.

Make shitty knock off games they can release in countries with poor copyright laws.

I read a comment yesterday that summed this up well. Stealing and selling the Cyberpunk source code is like stealing and selling a car with a faulty transmission.

Literally everything they did is up for grabs. Animation rigs, flowgraph/programming git, workflow, techniques used to make their games which they did 100% in house. This is all invaluable information to people looking to reverse engineer their success or formula, especially for something like Witcher 3.

It's an opportunity loss. The person who bought it for 8 million bitcoin isn't going to just wipe their hands clean and call it a day.

I honestly dont give a fuck about CDPR anymore because of how awful Cyberpunk still is.

pretty graphics dont make a game but thats all anyone says about it

Im having fun playing it

okay shill, if it were any other company it would have gotten ripped to shreds. They dont need your defense you already gave them your money.

A lot more people get punished than people you think deserve it. I also guarantee employee info was stolen despite what they say
