Today, further addressing questions of PC piracy, sales and the impetus to recreate The Witcher for consoles, GameCyte received what could practically be considered a letter from CD Projekt CEO and co-founder Michal Kicinski himself.
Did you know the Enhanced Edition cost US $1 million to produce? That it has shipped 300,000 copies? That CD Projekt has sworn not to use internet-activated DRM? All that, some valuable opinions and several shameless plugs for GOG await you in Kicinski's email.
CD Projekt Red developers have shared their thoughts on Gwent, hinting at the card game making its comeback in The Witcher 4.
The Witcher 4 developer CD Projekt Red is working closely with Epic Games in order to bring structural improvements to Unreal Engine 5.
As a dev, I can tell you that with 5, Epic made quite a leap. It perhaps may have done *too much* of a fidelity leap that most of its target hardware (Both PC and Consoles) struggles to hit 60FPS with all the new cutting edge features they added.
It may have had some issues with this generation to find a good home, but by PS6 the engine will have matured and found a good matching partner 🙏
Now that Sweet Baby is involved in this game. I’m really concerned it’s going to turn into a woke agenda poster child. I hope not but after what happened to the tv show, I won’t be holding my breath on this one.
Folks are so mf afraid to tell the sweet baby inc weirdos NO we don't want your involvement lol
Hard to say. Maybe they are welcoming them?
I know I wouldn’t hire anyone from the outside to give me advice on how to do my job but we don’t know that they feel scared and they could be positive toward them. People have different beliefs and ideals and that’s ok there is 7 billion people you are going to have ideals that run the gamut.
If it was me I’d tell them to F off because I wouldn’t want to pay people to advise what I’m doing regardless of who it is unless I sought them out myself and that could be the case here who knows.

GoG rocks, just got Fallout myself.
Consumer-facing philosophies like these, not just sales prowess, are what made Michal and Marcin entrepreneurs of the year in Poland.
TBH these days I'm looking more and more towards little guys (compared to western powerhouses like EA) for the really great original IP games and the after release support.
They tend to be far more worried about the customer and are willing to fix problems and communicate with the community. I could never see EA or someone reworking and re-releasing a game like CDProjekt did. Valve is another company that seems to follow this customer centered strategy.
All the issues with GTA4 on PC and the R* devs blaming the customer and adding all the junk DRM just backs up this belief for me.
Also GoG.com is wicked. Picked up Fallout 1 and 2 right away and and played em... would never of gotten to do that unless I spent a ton of money on Ebay.
