CD Projekt RED Hackers Leak Gwent Source Code, Cyberpunk 2077, Witcher Source Codes Being Auctioned

The CD Projekt RED hackers has uploaded the alleged source code for GWENT! Cyberpunk 2077 & The Witcher source codes are being auctioned.

[GoodGuy09]

Ooftah what a terrible moment cdpr are going through right now.

[Neonridr]

what a terrible like 6 months..

[excaliburps]

Indeed. No one would expect CD Projekt to be shat on like this. Come to think of it, given how awesome the Witcher 3 was and how DLC and all were handled properly, no one expected Cyberpunk to be this controversial.

Still, this isn't good or right. I mean, this is just outright crime being committed.

[anubusgold]

anyone that tries to use this to make money will be sued into the ground.

[djl3485]

@excaliburps

Except The Witcher 3 was buggy and had a rocky launch too, but everyone forgets that.

[seanpitt23]

That’s a understatement... this company has gone from the highest of the highs to the lowest of the lows in record time.....

[Bobertt]

In the grand scheme of things six months is like a moment.

[DJStotty]

This will probably work out well for CDPR, there is no such thing as bad publicity, this will throw them in the limelight, and the source code stolen will not get sold, nor will it get much use before all those responsible for hacking are behind bars lol.

I do remember and I remember the fact they were diligently to fix everything and some of the DLC expansions were amazing and even the free content was amazing. But it's still did not launch in the state that cyberpunk 2077 launched in. as a CD project red fan it just bugs me that they saw the condition of the game why not just delayed for maybe six to nine months and launch it when it's really ready. Or how about just launch it on PC and see the console version versions are coming later.

Their image their reputation has been stained it will take something really special for them to recover from this and what's really really sad is they were one of the true pro consumer companies out there

[CrimsonWing69]

Man, I’m starting to feel bad for these guys. I mean talk about being kicked into another gender.

[uGLYmE]

Starting to? What did they do wrong? I don’t understand any amount of animosity towards this developer. Is there an article that can convince me otherwise?

[Ninver]

They failed to provide what was promised. I think they deserve some remorse but other diehard gamers want them burnt to the ground. It's crazy out there.

[Duke19]

People got a shitty game. Now the developer needs to go under and all involved need to lose their jobs clearly.

/s

[Neonridr]

ever heard about a game called Cyberpunk 2077 that was hotly anticipated and turned into a giant mess?

[CrimsonWing69]

Well, I mean, I didn’t feel sorry for them getting the feedback that they did for making the decisions that they did. I mean lying to consumers seems like something that would fit in the “they did wrong” category, but that could just be me.

That being said, I enjoyed Cyberpunk albeit with disappointment from being watchdogged.

Now, as in right now, because I just read they’ve been hacked, I am feeling sorry for them because on top of everything else they now have to deal with this and I feel like they’ve had enough i.e. why I mentioned the whole kick to the nuts comment.

Does that make sense? Let me know if you’re picking up what I’m putting down. I can break it down even further or possibly draw a schematic.

[enkiduxiv]

While they misled gamers with their marketing and should be called out for it, CyberPunk wasn’t nearly as bad as people are making it out to be.

If Bethesda had released this game before they finally fell to earth after Fallout 76, everyone would have shrugged their shoulders and waited for a few patches.

CDPR are literally victims of their own success here. Everyone wanted another Witcher 3 and they instead got a buggy Deus Ex. Thing is, Deus Ex isn’t half bad either.

[Darkborn]

They lied and said last Gen consoles ran great.

[lelo2play]

They offered refund... move on already. It's getting tiresome.
Seriously! Get over it.

[SullysCigar]

^ You're memory is somewhat skewed there, @lelo2play. They said contact Sony/MS - without any prior consultation with them, which was just more poor communication and decision making, further exacerbating the situation.

I'm not saying they deserve what's happening now, of course, but what they did was bad and they've yet to make good. Once they have, we can talk about 'moving on'.

[AsunaYuukiTheFlash]

@lelo2play But still it didn't change the fact that they lied to their consumers.

[CorndogBurglar]

And the crap they went through, and are still going through, is punishment for that.

Yes, they said it ran well on last gen consoles. Yes, they released a horribly buggy, unfinished game. And they are still paying for those mistakes. They've had a lawsuit filed against them. They had their game removed from PSN. They've had to deal with refunds. And they're working around the clock to try and fix it as best they can.

They're paying like any other developer should in this situation. Getting hacked and having company owned assets and codes stolen, held for ransom, and auctioned off is horrible and they don't deserve that.

[-Foxtrot]

It’s shitty what’s happening but this doesn’t excuse Cyberpunk

I hope this isn’t what’s gonna happen now, we all forgive them out of pity

[Darkborn]

Exactly, death threats and hacking is not a good thing for anyone regardless of what they promised and didn't deliver. It was a scummy business move, but it doesn't deserve this kind of negativity. Boycott the game until its fixed and don't pre-order next time, sure. But not this.

[DragonWarrior19]

That's exactly what they want. You think this coincidentally happened after the gaming community lost all its respect for them?

[MadLad]

So you're saying they're releasing their own insider documents, not mention source code, onto the internet for a little bit of pity points?

That's highly unlikely, to say the least.

[CorndogBurglar]

Dude, come on. There's no way CDPR had themselves hacked and their assets sold online.

[medman]

I always felt bad for the developers. I never once felt bad about some of the decision makers and higher ups within the organization. Too many of them are liars, unfortunately their lies and poor decision making has hurt the devs. Doesn't that always seem to be the case? People in a position of power screw up, the underlings take the brunt of the fallout.

Management should be held 100 percent to account for the entirety of this still unfolding calamity associated with Cyberpunk 2077. The fact that some of them have not been fired to date is not surprising at all....gutless incompetence rules the day.

[Hitman007]

I thought my Ex Girlfriend could fake it good but these guys just overflowing with Bull💩 like really the way the talked about all U could do and then show trailers of all of this but cut all the content out of the game once purchased like GTFO Losers glad U are getting Karma back haha hahaha plus u lost Billions in stocks hahahaha

[DJStotty]

Think it's bedtime....

[anast]

I agree.

[CorndogBurglar]

Punctuation is your friend. Don't be afraid of it. Embrace it. Let the punctuation flow through you.

[spicelicka]

Unfortunately the only thing that flows through him is bath water

[Abnor_Mal]

CD Ptoject Red are being Cyberpunked by hackers. They should make a game about this.

[Darkborn]

If they did it would crash before the hackers could sell the source code.

[Abnor_Mal]

The dynamic duo, I set em up, and you knock em down.

[thejigisup]

If cyberpunk source gets released theres gonna be some crazy revelations.

[Ninver]

Which leads me to believe people want answers. The truth at that.

[-Foxtrot]

I really want to see what was cut or planned

[Nitrowolf2]

it would be interesting to see TBH

[SimpleSlave]

Insiders say that the Cyberpunk 2077 source code comes at a hefty 3MB

👋So Huge👋

[Knightofelemia]

So glad I don't work for CD Projekt they are getting knocked around left, right an center

[OhReginald]

Good, they stole money from fans with lies and fake promises.

[lelo2play]

Stole money?

They offered refund to who ever wanted it...

[BrainSyphoned]

CDPR didn't refund me jack shit. SONY DID what CDPR pretended they were doing by removing an anti consumer product from their service.

[anast]

@Brain

Actually you can also go to them and get the refund too. Go to GoG...

[Viryu]

I honestly don't understand why there are so many negative comments about CD Projekt. I haven't played it myself yet, I still can't get my hands on PS5, but I have a few friends at work who have already played it on both PC and PS4, and they've all enjoyed it.

[yoshatabi]

The game is boring. Even if it didn't have as many glitches, it's so obvious that a lot was cut from the game.

[gold_drake]

if people go so far because of a botched game, imagine what theyd cause for other stuff lol

[XBManiac]

CDP - Well... if millions of developers could use the code to fix and improve it...
Me - Hold my cubata.

[Seafort]

These hackers are destroying CD Projekt. I've finished Cyberpunk on PC. It is a great game and doesn't deserve this kind of backlash.

If gamers just wanted EA and Ubisoft cut n paste games you got your wish. If CDPR goes under because of this don't start complaining about crap games in the future. This is what I call karma for gamers.

By your actions you are ruining The Witcher 3 devs because 7+ year old console tech couldn't run Cyberpunk 2077.

[OhReginald]

"because 7+ year old console tech couldn't run Cyberpunk 2077."

Hmmm then maybe they shouldn't have released the game on 7+ old consoles. DUH-DOY!

[philm87]

Has anyone considered CDPR might have got a lot of pressure form the Polish government to release CP2077 because of the amount of money they got from them to develop it? They obviously wouldn't be able to say this was the case if it was.

[joestrummer77]

oh well, Coul be worse.

[DJStotty]

More to the point, who in their right mind would pay $1-7 million dollars, just to do a bit of jail time.

Pathetic, grow a pair and move on.

[hanuman2]

According to traditional Christian doctrine, these hackers are going to burn in Hell.

[dolfa]

EA or some other big name will buy them soon probably :-)its game over for them

[DJStotty]

Be hilarious if someone actually pays for the source code, to find out after examination that no content was cut lol.

More to the point, why would anyone pay for a "copy" of the source code lmao. Add to the fact that this data is pre-launch cyberpunk code, (given away by the modified date of 05-Feb-2021)

[Nodoze]

How quickly things fall completely apart.

[Vlasay]

This makes me happy.

[northpaws]

You are sick

[Tyrant 8 RDFL]

I believe we have been into gaming for a long time, and I think we all know that games get over hyped. Due to this I have decided to let a game release, and see if the hype is deserved or not. Why in todays age are we buying games on release day? Why not wait a extra day or two to see if it is worth it? I don't blame the makers of cyberpunk. They are suppose to hype their game up. I would blame myself for not being a smarter consumer. In this case I was smart enough to wait, and see what the word was. I still have not purchase the game, and moved on. They do not deserve to be robbed and their code to be held for ransom. This has to be a criminal offense, and those responsible should be held accountable, The same way we need to hold ourselves accountable for being so impatient.

[anast]

I just want them to continue to fix the game. No one is starving to death in that company.

[sourOG]

What’s their stock symbol? I want in.

[Imortus_san]

Holy shit, CD Projekt RED are in a bad wave, if this keeps up it could be really bad for them.

[jamesclark1991]

Wow. This absolutely SUCKS. What a dick move.

[DefaultComment]

It's funny, all it takes is just one bad game to literally plumber a company to the ground. The Witcher has been their bread and butter for years and people still buying it, but this game that it's supose to 7-8 years in the making ipset the community, and did a poor job in the porting and now this, It wouldn't be surpriseing if all the sudden this company end up in out of business in short

[arkard]

It's like 4 years in the making, they announced they didn't start full development till Witcher 3 and dlc was all done. This was announced a long time ago anf people continue to ignore that fact. Yes it was rushed and needed more time, but it wasn't developed for 7 years

[FanboysKiller]

Sony will buy them , Microsoft has almost conquered the western rpg market and there's nothing left for Sony besides the Witcher and Dragon Age , it's the perfect time for Sony to acquire them especially at their weakest point in history.

[Aussiesummer]

Suck it. You try to dupe people then you pay the price.

[ubers]

how does revealing source code hurt CDPR? Don't know how it works

[OneLove]

What's goin on right now is unreal😂

[BioShockGX]

What can someone do with a source code?

[Lionsguard]

I just met with one of the hackers and he showed me some source code and it looked legit so I asked him how much he wanted and he looked me dead in the eye said "I'm gonna need about tree fiddy". Well, it was about that time that I realized this hacker was 8 stories tall and was a crustacean from the Paelozoic era. I screamed at him, damn you loch ness monsta! You ain't gettin no damn tree fiddy!.

[X-23]

This is really lame, I hope people responsible are caught and sued into the ground or thrown under the jail.
Cyberpunk having a bad release by no means justifies this action, it kind of gets under my skin much more than it should because despite what CDPR did wrong, they have also done a lot of good too.
