This was a very interesting read, about how the Warsaw Stock Exchange and really putting math into schools has played into helping the Polish video game market grow.

It also talked about new emerging markets like Serbia, Estonia, Belarus, Bosnia, Herzegovina and Croatia. The article particularly talked about how Serbia is about to explode into a leading video game development market.

So when you read this, it does make you think that the first party developers and third party developers should start investing in these countries, so when these markets fully open they'll be able to bring video games out from these new up coming video game studios.

It is undoubtedly a very interesting read. I had no idea that so many well known games were developed, or are being developed, in Eastern Europe.

anast1286d ago

Poland and logic are killing it right now.

Petebloodyonion1286d ago

It's even more interesting when you know that GOG was created by Cd project has a way to fight piracy in Poland.

DigitallyAfflicted1286d ago

I suppose mare the merrier, at the end is us gamers benefiting. With a bigger variety in games as those titles from unexpected countries bring new and fresh ideas never done before

Only thing made worth mentioning is the mentality not being a part of the shit going on.
Like... Scripted stories, deadbeat to that.
But, now, they have a liason with the same element that makes games go the same route as tLoU2 did.

7 disagrees shows how many look at one dlc that had a rip off fight from ghost in the shell and goes wow what a goat team i love cdpr while ignoring that they only made 2 games that were good witcher 2/3 in 20yrs.

But its a new world we want a criminal that support's legal murder as president/support shoplifting love toxic work environments and have a mass casualty event every other day.

GhostMirror6d ago

I’ll admit I didn’t play it at launch, but Cyberpunk 2077 is a really good game now.

And who the hell knows what you’re even going on about in your second paragraph here.

EazyC7d ago

Wait a min...I swear to god CP2077's source code got leaked before. CDPR needs to stop using "password123" for all their accounts 😅

just_looken6d ago

Na its hundreds ex employees no doubt just getting there revenge.

Profchaos6d ago (Edited 6d ago )

This is the same leak the threat actors have been trying to sell the source code after cd project didn't pay the ransom.

They didn't manage to sell the source code to any company largely because it would be unethical for say EA to buy it so the threat actors failed to find a buyer.

After they failed to make any money they went through with their threat of simply giving it away.

They will need to add everything they promised in the first one and not over promise on the second one.

just_looken7d ago

They also need to drop esg then hire employees that have knowledge not hire them because they have a set of tits.

Official video they hired people to fill the esg clipboard

Hofstaderman7d ago (Edited 7d ago )

As somebody who has been playing the tabletop games since the 90s and was let down on launch by my PS4 version, you can bet I'm not going the preorder any sequel.

nmbr1esq7d ago

3rd person option, and everything else that was originally promised. Next don't force agenda driven naratives. Finally, release a finished product without need for day one patches.

The Witcher 4 Won't Be "Witcher 3 in New Clothing," CDPR Adding New Gameplay Elements and Mechanics

CDPR says that players shouldn't expect The Witcher 4 to be "Witcher 3 in new clothing," as the studio is adding new gameplay elements in it.

anast26d ago

Improve the combat and you got an instant classic.

sagapo26d ago

What’s wrong with the combat?

anast26d ago

Nothing for when it was made. It's time to upgrade.

sagapo25d ago

disagrees for asking a question, nice...

Flawlessmic26d ago

Dragons dogma 2 style combat, would be dope.

Friendlygamer26d ago

It played like a bootleg ac game. It was pretty poor even back when it released

anast26d ago

I didn't think it was as bad as the semi QT AC games.

Friendlygamer25d ago

At least ac had some cinematic flair to hide how braindead it was

bionicstar26d ago

They should have a party system with turn based combat

monkey60226d ago

People will riot!

I'd love it but people will riot

LordoftheCritics25d ago

CDPR will lose like 99% of its audience.

It could be a fun experiment for the internet's shits and giggles.
