It will make the shareholders richer, as you can fire a few writers and animators to save costs, and still sell a the game with shittier dialogue

Hundreds of millions of Call of Duty and Fifa games sold show that unfortunately marketing works

Investors don’t care about that anymore. Line must go up more and right now. If not, they will replace you with someone who promises to do that.

The best ways to raise stock prices include downsizing, jacking up prices, and cutting product quality to save cost. None of these are even remotely beneficial to the customers.

Yeah, the way he talks about it does not help the chances of a new game with. I can understand the frustration of an artist that is popular worldwide, while sometimes living paycheck to paycheck doing small roles. Still, maybe he should discuss with his agent how to share his views with the press in a more positive way, to avoid biting the hand that might feed him again in the future.

Good. Now also please give them the needed financial support

You still can, that’s why - outside of a few exceptions - I only buy console games on disc, and sell them later

Good choice buying the second for backup. As a console game pr I know nothing about mouses, but I would assume they don’t make this anymore after a decade.

It makes zero sense, but of course tankies will be happy to parade it around. The are well after the 50th in GDP per capita PPP, and probably much lower if would look at actual consumption. In total GDP, outside of top 10

Total GDP on PPP basis has to be one of the most idiotic bullshit comparisons I have ever heard. Makes zero sense. Per capita GDP PPP comparison could at least pretend to be meaningful, but of course they would be far behind in that

She’s buying another house (already signed), so she needs to sell this one - lack of a concrete driveway would tank the price.

We are not the only ones to not understand what the exact scam is, the realtor she is working with also has no idea, never seen anything like this with him or his colleagues. He posted the thing in a national realtor group (that’s how it became news), others also have very few similar examples.

It could be that some guy just wanted a similar driveway, and had it removed and delivered. No idea if that is possible without it being destroyed, but e.g. there were instances of people steeling lawn/grass, so I think anything is possible.

But they don’t want to actually do it, and this way they can pretend to be working on it.

A much better headline and article

It’s not about unknown issues on the dev side, it’s about greed. CDPR wanted to release for Xmas when the large playerbase of the prev gen consoles was still relevant, so they happily pushed marketing and lied to take people’s money, hoping they can pay exec bonuses and fund future development from that.

Sony had to pull the game from the online store, as it was barely playable. One good question of course why Sony would let it even be there without testing, but of course major companies are trusted to QA themselves, and not release a broken game - luckily this seems to work most of the time.

Agree. Also the same with CP77 - I don’t care how much they update and polish that game, I’m not touching it again. It was barely playable on XBOX1X on release. I luckily was able to sell my launch day copy with a small loss, but I’m not trusting them with my money again, after I (and many others) have been misled, and given an unplayable game on consoles.

I am not an investor to lend money to the company for development, I am a consumer, so I want a working game for my money on Day 1, otherwise I’m shopping elsewhere - as plenty of studios manage to great and polished games (e.g. most PS exclusives).

What is their reason for abandoning the source version? I would assume it looks better, and it would be easier to fit for today’s gaming needs

It reads like a start of some dude’s homoerotic fanfic, reminiscing about the famous dudes he used to bang.

Lol, and many people are looking to get duped again

I agree, let’s have peace! Russians should go the fuck home

Bro, hand me some of that copium you’re having, seems like the strong kind!

Tank(ie) you for your valuable comment!
