CD Projekt Red "we leave greed to others"

They're a for-profit company, just like EA. And, that's good. That's why they make great game.

With that said, not pissing off customers is a good way to make money. So, as a businessman, I respect them.

The problem is that pissing off a small section of your customers while fleecing the rest makes a lot more money. Never underestimate a company's thirst for money.

I'm sick of this developer cult. All this does is breed yet another shit show that will exploit their consumer's good will.

Remember the cult around Valve and Blizzard? Yeah, one of them is now openly giving a platform to scammers and the other one is officially crowned king of loot boxes.

In this day and age nothing any developer ever says should be taken at face value.

"if we believe there's a ONE percent chance that he is our enemy we have to take it as an absolute certainty... and we have to destroy him."

I'm more of the mind that I'm not a mindless idiot and can support developers as they are good and if CDPR does shitty stuff at that time I can hate on them. For now, why should I not praise them for doing what we want?

CDPR has already become a meme as the Jesus of game developers. Praising them on occasion is fine. Praising them, and only them, all the time by a vocal mob of people is dangerous. The internet right now is plastered with praise for CDPR as a counter movement to EA and it's eclipsed the point of being healthy. It will lead to a cult following that is ready to defend every single shitty choice they will ever make, creating an echo chamber that will lead to complacency and worse. CDPR is basically the Nintendo of game developers right now.
