Thats a fantasy land like defense force comment :P
They sold 8 million+ copies.
Even if they have to refund like 500k-1m (realistically doubt its even that much, most people dont use refunds), they make mad bank.
"a step in the right direction"
Refunds should be the norm, when games use false marketing and lies about its game.
"What is important is that the community sent a strong message to all the big publishers and developers in the industry by rejecting these practises."
They got away with it, they are laughing all the way to the bank.
A calculated move for profits, paid off hugely for them. Day1 they already recouped all costs of developement and more.
You think this will prevent others from burning their goodwill/goodname, in future?
Nope.
Theres money people in charge at the top, that only care about money.
Most other game studios would likely pull the same move, if they thought it was the right way to go about makeing the most money.
Its just a matter of risk accessment, and seeing how well it turned out for CDproject red, there's not likely to be any impact on others doing same in future. (if it worked for CDPR, why couldnt it work for us?)
