CD Projekt is now Europe’s most valuable game company ahead of Ubisoft

Remarkable growth continues as The Witcher 3 celebrates its fifth birthday

[waverider]

Amazing stuff. Didnt imagined that they were the most valuable studio in europe.

[robtion]

Great news. Hopefully there pro consumer policies catch on.

[nirwanda]

It's a strange comparison considering a large part of Unisoft is in Canada.
Its pretty hard to compare you could say rockstar was European I recon most of take two cash would come from them.
GOG must make so much cash doing things properly.

[SyntheticForm]

This makes me happy as of now, because I've gotten pure enjoyment from their games, and they've left quite the impression. Hopefully this keeps up.

Congrats to CDPR.

Make one great game, or make 50 generic asset flip games... Companies need to learn from CD and Rockstar, IF YOU BUILD IT, THEY WILL COME.

[Father__Merrin]

It's not one great game. They actually run a store amongst other things

[yellowgerbil]

I'm aware of that, but to my knowledge that store is like a mom and pop corner mart when compared to Steam and Epic.

[Looper]

Woah! Is this because of GOG?

[coolbeans]

Without a doubt.

[Xaevi]

That's pretty sad when you consider how long they've been in business, how many IPs they have, and studios too. I find it ironic, no I find it hilarious that by doing the EXACT opposite CDP has found huge success. Not just the opposite of Ubisoft but the opposite of on the store front too with no drm implemented in the games they sell on GOG. Yet the industry insist on releasing generic multiplayer games and ruining legitimate digital copies of games with DRM

[Dabigsiebowski]

This is what happens when you don't make the same game over and over.

[Ron_Danger]

You know the definition of insanity...

[kitano1947]

I would have thought it was rockstar north (GTA - Edinburgh) but I guess they have some tax thing in america?

[Cikatriz_ESP]

Rockstar is headquartered in New York, it’s an American company. The Houser brothers even got citizenship here.

Edit: Sam got citizenship; I’m not finding anything on Dan but I’ve always assumed he did as well.

[Cikatriz_ESP]

@BabyYoda

What’s your point? It doesn’t matter where the games were developed mate, it’s an American company. Look it up.

Besides, it’s common knowledge Rockstar games are developed across numerous international studios. That diversity is an essential part of the company’s DNA, one which no single country can lay claim to.

[Anghellic]

because they release quality games!

[Ratchet75]

Can you believe a company with 1000 employees has 4 times the capital of Ubisoft? 😂 😂 😂

[Redemption-64]

They are just overvalued, mostly due to the huge success of the Netflix series. Their value will drop as time goes on.

[RookieMonsterLives]

Great news from one of my favorite developers. Patiently awaiting Cyberpunk for my Xbox Series X this Winter.

[JEECE]

So you're going wait to use backwards compatibility to play the biggest game of the fall several months late, instead of enjoying the experience at the same time as everyone else? Even though you know that you could get the game at launch, continue playing the current gen version with BC on series x when it launches, and then get the improved next-gen version for free, whenever it does eventually release?( https://www.techradar.com/n...

It kind of feels like you're trying to troll on MS's behalf, but it's not working because you're underplaying one of the best features of their next console (smart delivery).

[Sophisticated_Chap]

What does it matter if he plays the game at launch or not? It's going to be the same game either way, except he just wont get caught up in the marketing hype.

[JEECE]

@Sophisticated_Chap

I mean, it doesn't "matter" what he does. This website is about videogames, so in that sense, none of it "matters." He can do whatever he wants; if he really wants to, he can buy a copy of the game and throw it off a cliff, then go dance in the street and sing about birds.

However, I just think it's weird to assert that you are going to wait to play your favorite developer's first game in five years, after it has already been delayed.

To be fair, I didn't allow for the possibility that he owns no console/viable PC, and thus his first opportunity to play the game will be when he buys the Series X. However, I assumed since CD Project is his favorite dev, he must have played their prior games, including Witcher 3, and therefore must have some way of playing Cyberpunk at launch.

[Redemption-64]

Just over valued, it will go down as time goes on. Also I am sure this is mostly thanks to Netflix. Anyone stupid enough to buy them at that amount will never get a good return, as they don't own the full rights to either Witcher or Cyberpunk

[Dark-soul]

And all they had to do is to release one of the most boring rpgs ever made... good for them

Ubi maybe greedy towards gamers with micro transactions and so many different editions of the same game the reason they don't make as much may surprise many

It's not a game revenue thing in totality the reason they are in some sort of trouble is because of where their offices are located in some of the most expensive cities in the world and how many people they employ. Please watch that video it explains in great detail everything that's going on with this publisher. And why the next 12 to 24 months are so important for Ubisoft

[garos82]

wow! considering Ubisoft s output, thats super impressive

[Ninver]

Rightfully earned. They are great company.

[Phantom68]

WOW

[Iamnothuman12]

Amazing what one franchise/game can do for a company.
