is it me or does this seem like a marketing stunt

A wild guess here, but are you American by any chance?

gamer78041199d ago

?? I don’t agree with him but that’s a bit Xenophobic don’t you think?

Applejack1199d ago

@gamer7804 He’s probably not wrong though 😅

SullysCigar1199d ago

@gamer7804, lol never go full snowflake!

metalhead1199d ago

As an American....that was a legit question. I mean we have QAnon here, skeptics plague the country.

crazyCoconuts1199d ago

Curiosity and skepticism are foundational for learning and evolving. Labeling runs counter to that and shuts people down. Ask questions and be willing to accept when you're wrong.

RazzerRedux1199d ago

How is that question even relevant?

sourOG1198d ago

lol a year ago I would have thought you were a dick for saying that. Now my resentment probably exceeds yours as an American myself. Dumb people.

The same thing happened to Capcom last year. Was that also a publicity stunt? Lmao

BrainSyphoned1199d ago (Edited 1199d ago )

""And in the company’s latest earnings report, it saw a 32.2-percent increase in operating income year-over-year, marking “the highest profit at all levels for the end of a third-quarter in company history.”"

Capcom did have a record quarter/year, not agreeing but maybe not the best counter example.

"Unreleased version of Witcher 3" 👀

Thunder_G0d_Bane1199d ago

That’s obviously the original e3 demo version that the shitty hardware of the Xbox one an PS4 couldn’t handle so they had to scrap it an rebuild.

RaidenBlack1199d ago

Or maybe the work-in-progress "next-gen" version they announced for PS5 & XSX, due for release this year?

philm871199d ago

New gen version I reckon. Also includes an upgrade for PC as well as Series X/PS5.

SethBrundlefly1199d ago

The question on everybody's mind: will this potentialy lead to full insight what they knew prior to release? (Yes, obviously the hack is wrong.)

excaliburps1199d ago

Seems like it since attackers said they are leaking source code and documents that will make CD Projekt look more evil or something..

TheColbertinator1199d ago

Yowza. We all hear of that happening but rarely see it.

EazyC1199d ago

That info was bound to get out there anyway. I'm actually genuinely surprised it hasn't already. Playing CP2077 is a bit like walking into a house with blood all over the walls -- it's very obvious that something badw was happening in CDPR, likely on a management level.

Orchard1199d ago

The game was pretty broken but even they don’t deserve this.

ufo8mycat1199d ago

Yes they do. They lied to consumers "The game plays great on base PS5/Xbox One", which is exactly what they said. We all know the end product.

They deserve this and more

yoshatabi1199d ago

Just a game bro. Doesn't have to be like this over a videogame

KyRo1199d ago

You sir have a lot of growing up to do. They're hardly going to say don't buy this game on consoles, it's below par are they. Every game company has released a dud once in a while. They don't deserve for their personal info to be breached because of it.

RgR1199d ago

And what do you deserve sir?

philm871199d ago

It does play great on PS5 though. I'm playing through at the moment and loving it.

victorMaje1199d ago

Get a refund. Stop pre-ordering.
They’re also getting sued.
No, they don’t deserve to get hacked.

InUrFoxHole1199d ago

@ufo
100% agree. These sorry saps that are siding with cd are exactly the type of gamers businesses are cultivating. Oh poor company that lied to everyone 😢.

1199d ago
KoroSenpai1198d ago

There are far worse game companies out there. EA and other sport game publisher are literally selling you the same game over and over with Microtransactions. You literally have to gamble your money to win in a game that you paid for.

I personally don't like what they did to Cyberpunk2077 and probably not going to buy that game in a foreseeable future. But that doesn't mean they deserve this at all. They have released good games like Witcher series in past. One mistake don't define the entire dev team.

ufo8mycat1199d ago

If this exposes more lies then I'm all for this. This goes for ANY company. Normally I do not condone hacking, but if the reason for the hack is to expose a company that has been lying to consumers/anti-consumer practises, GO FOR IT.

EazyC1199d ago

Hm, yeah but it's hard to play the morally righteous card when you're demanding a ransom.

JackBNimble1199d ago

If this was true then the so called hacker's would have released it already.
This seems like another CDPR con job, I feel like we are being scammed again.

KoroSenpai1198d ago

Jack, if this was a con job, they wouldn't get the authorities involved. They would be shooting themselves in the foot.

gamer78041199d ago

End justifies the means huh? Not really good way to live your life...

RgR1199d ago

There is clear proof of mismanagement but there is yet to be any proof of intentional deception.

Otherwise refunds wouldn't have been offered how they were, they wouldn't be offering free next gen upgrades, free dlc similar to the witcher in scope, they also wouldn't have priced their game at 60$ and would have gone the famous anti consumer route of $70, etc.

They are one of the most pro consumer devs.

thesoftware7301199d ago

Bro, Chill out, we get it you mad that the game dev didnt give you the game of your dreams.

Now go outside take a deep breath and repeat "Life is worth it and I will get past this" until you feel better.

That should please everyone I'm sure...

RpgSama30m ago(Edited 28m ago)

Feudal Japan DEI LGBTQ+ Samurai, sounds very accurate for the time period. Surely a decision made only with historical accuracy in mind.

Crows9025m ago

Or even modern day accuracy.....

Lexreborn217m ago

You have no idea what you are talking about, bet you didn’t know nobunaga was bi-sexual. Or ran maru his is often depicted as androgynous was a “beautiful boy”.

So yeah, feudal Japan had tons of lgbtq and kawaii enough… A BLACK SAMURAI! All without the need of offending a Caucasian because the world is diverse.

CrimsonWing6953m ago

Geezus, just make a good game… holy sh*t this is becoming insufferable.

Crows9024m ago

Oh yeah!!!! What about being inclusive???

I'm sorry
..please replace the word inclusive with stupid.

darthv7230m ago

Is that genuinely a selling point for people?

RpgSama27m ago(Edited 22m ago)

They sure as hell want to see if it is, time and time and time again.

Wow.... two of my earliest gaming platforms. All they need is Coleco to round things out.

This is like Nintendo buying SEGA.

OtterX4h ago

YES! Colecovision was my start! I came to know Mario there in Donkey Kong before the NES was even a thing. :)

Golfcoachh1h ago

Yes such fond memories. My first was the odyssey, but I really started gaming on my colecovision. Had atari and intelivision but coleco was by far the best of the bunch to me.

Kratos_Kart20071h ago

Yes...a gamer from my era...LMAO

Coleco was good...LOL

anast6h ago(Edited 6h ago)

Good piece of history here.

edit: I wanted to read it but the cookies pop up is stopping me.

badboyz095h ago

This was just before my time. I do remember my mom's friend having one all dusty in her apartment back in the day.

People forget that console wars are part of the history of this industry. The console wars were started by competitive companies all the way back then and continued through Sega vs Nintendo, Jaguar/3DO/NeonGeo, and PlayStation vs Nintendo and Xbox.

These companies are across oceans and competing for the same business. These companies created the console wars, not crazy fanboys.

anast3h ago

Console wars are fun. It's fun to be a fanboy too. I don't get what's wrong with any of this as entertainment.

darthv723h ago

Young kid school yard banter was fun. 30-40+ year olds still doing it is just disturbing. Many my age (50+) grew out of that a long time ago. We may still have our preferences, but we also embrace a more central position because there is a lot to enjoy on a wide range of genres and systems.

You'll understand one day and then things will forever change.

Petebloodyonion58m ago

The only thing back then was that the game would still appear on competing platforms.
Remember the Coleco Vision could play Atari2600 games via an Expansion modude.

jznrpg5h ago(Edited 5h ago)

I had both. Snafu on Intellivision was addicting as hell. Also had Colecovision which had Time Pilot. Combat was probably my favorite Atari game and both Atari and Intellivision had similar games like Pitfall and Jungle Hunt. It’s been so long I don’t really remember which game I liked bettter out of those but I did play my Intellivision a bit more than Atari though I’m not sure why besides Snafu. That was 40+ years ago damn I’m old lol

Dagexon3h ago

Ahh you're making me all nostalgic! Not old enough to have played these on original hardware but my first console was a bootleg console from Costco that had a bunch of intellivision and atari games. Then had a lot of fun with intellivision and atari collections on ps1 and 2.
Snafu was one of my favourite games and me and my partner still occasionally play it to this day
