5 Times CD Projekt RED Stole Our Hearts

Over the last decade, CD Projekt RED has asserted itself as the preeminent developer of single-player RPG experiences and DRM-free video game distribution.  The impact of GOG alone on the accessibility of old games would be enough to win over PC gamers, but the Witcher franchise has gone on to define a new standard of […]

They certainly stole mine. As far as I'm concerned, CDPR is the light of the gaming industry. They are showing the way for everyone else. I'll be buying Cyberpunk 2077 on day one because I know CDPR respects me as a customer.

On the other hand, I keep a 10 foot pole between me and anything labeled "EA". I'd rather get anally probed than submit to EA's ridiculous BS.

Yeah like when they excluded PoC from the game. Bunch of bigots lol

Looks like a Skyrim clone. Very interesting if done well.

Since it’s Turkish, the “myth” is probably the Armenian holocaust :(

Laskin2h ago

Ask Turkish ppl and you’ll find out it’s not so dumb… almost all of them (91%) still deny it to this day.

You are not so clever.. you are calling a war from the first quarter of 1900 as mythology.. really shows how well informed you are.

The war was triggered by secularist nationalist government they had back then.. don’t see why actual Turkish population should be held responsible for..

Stay on topic, which is video games.. politics and history are too complicated for your likes

Terry_B4h ago

Is there even one good game created in the Turkey so far?

PitbullMonster3h ago

Metin 1&2 and the Mount and Blade Series are the most known ones.

Metin ....how dare you name that in the same sentence with the word "good"

The Games Industry Needs A Stronger Games Media

The move away from written coverage of games is a problem for journalists and for the games industry.

What we need is a more honest games media. I'm sorry but if you're an outlet in bed with a publisher or getting goodies to attend preview/ review events then you can't be trusted to be objective. Very similar to the need for getting money out of politics.

Basically this. We've seen how the game media turned for the worse after the acceptance of advertising dollars during the 360 era from one particular company. How many websites were willing to sell out for Mountain Dew and Doritos. Accepting $800 Halo Swag bags and expensive Windows laptops to do blogging.

Video sites like game trailers that was willing to lie about PS3 graphics and sometimes, still had the wrong controller image at the bottom on the video. And, turned off comments it deleted them to keep the truth from being told.

That same company twisted certain gamers to a new level of fanboyism. This website was full of them when I arrived. Lying through their noses again and again. Then, that very company started lying or withholding information that showed the truth. That their competitors were selling more worldwide and had better graphics overall. But the damage to the media and a certain group of gamers was done. And, continues to this day. Even after hearing the truth that that company they serve is very destructive to the industry, developers and gamers.

lodossrage10h ago

Yeah, and one of that company's former executives OPENLY admitted that. And before anyone says I'm lying:

Also, yeah plenty of people that are here now don't remember when this place was a haven for xbox. You have people like "The Mart at Xbox Kings" push all sorts of propoganda on a daily. But people seem to want to forget stuff like that...

Skuletor16h ago

The whole Gamespot/Kane & Lynch thing is one of the best examples and that was 16 years ago.

lodossrage9h ago

Yeah, but with people and their short memories, I'm sure a good portion here forgot all about that

Most game journalists are pariahs and low level marketing drones. They got too greedy and cannibalized their respect and trust. Something they learned not to do in their journalism schools. This is why we might as well watch gameplay critics on You Tube. Don't get me wrong, I love reading, but for every genuine article there is a thousand game journalist trying to gloss over monetization schemes so they can sell the game to gamers in order to get free games to do their jobs. It gets old. Even this piece doesn't address the problem.

UltimateOwnage11h ago

We need better media in all aspects of society, period. Everything from the gaming press, to MSM is all fueled by clickbait headlines, half truths and buzzword topics that don't give much meat or meaning for the reader to benefit from.

lodossrage6h ago

Agreed.

I can't even add anything to that .
