Off-Topic / "the butched launch of cyberpunk" by the economist (Poland in denial again) [19]
" Following the market. Normal really; they have to cover their costs."
wrong I disagree. they went beyond and beyond covering their costs which by the way due to them doing cheap marketing gimmicks like hiring Keanu Reeves and hiding the demo or other shwdy practices made them cover their entire dev cost just based on pre orders. gaming is a passion and a hobby and not just something to make money. plenty of dev studios for instance make super highly complex games and only target pc users for instance rather than all consoles and two generations at once just to make the kiddies and millenials happy. some companies like the Ukrainian studio gsc games behind the stalker series care about their fans, the market and making a lasting legacy for themselves rather than bring bought and sold on wall street like corporate ****** and shills. you seriously think theyre not greedy pulling stunts like hiding ganeplay or releasing fake demos prior to a software launch and creating a game for normies and the mass market rather than eastern europeans? Why make w game from poland about a dystopian us city full of black people trwnnies and **** when you are an eastern european game dev studio? just makes no sense man follow the lead of gsc games instead.
