Forums - Gaming - Several of CDPR's top talent leave to form Rebel Wolves studio. Just... Why?

 

I am more excited for...

The Witcher 4 4 26.67%
 
The Witcher remake 3 20.00%
 
Neither 8 53.33%
 
Total:15

Perhaps they just got an itch.

Not everybody can work for the same employer their entire life, even if it's a good job.

After a couple of years there are people that simply get an itch they need to move on. A new environment, a fresh challenge.

Movie doesn't do well? Must be something to do with wokeness.
Movie did well? Must have something to do with wokeness.
TV Show got cancelled? Wokeness.
People leave their job? Must be because of wokeness.
McDonalds forgot the pickles on my cheeseburger? Fucking woke bastards.

Big part of the reason I don't post much anymore. Because, so many topics will ultimately boil down to somebody complaining about wokeness, a concept so ill defined that it can be invoked in any situation.

When people leave their jobs, 99.9% of the time it is because of their personal and financial situation. The odds of this being related to "wokeness" are pretty minimal, and unless there is some specific reason to believe that was the case, which has yet to be shown in this situation, then it's nothing but topic derailing shitposting.

That's a pretty woke take.

😞 I hope this guy doesn't have a big role. 

Literally ignored all the replies bringing up the facts to that guy and replied only to thas guy's factually wrong post. Classic. This thread was created to spread the same kind of agenda that the tweet in the op is trying to spread, you knew very well the kind of message you wanted to pass, and ignoring the facts that other people are bringing just takes away any doubt about that.

You're assuming I read the replies prior to that. Dumbass.

But then you ignored them and still replied agreeing with the guy that got fact checked by those replies, as if they didn't exist.

What exactly do you want me to look at? I can't see what you mean in the thread, people debunking what, exactly?

Maybe they got tired of working at a company that insults its fans?

Their franchise/lore designer recently called Cyberpunk 2077 players as "fascists, unempathetic, depraved, poisonous, and predatory wankers."

Who wants to work for a company that feels that way about gamers?

This is not what was said. Criticizing the weirdos who are harassing trans writers: 

"I wonder if they realize that by harassing trans writers who have rightfully and justifiably critiqued Cyberpunk 2077’s haphazard and sometimes harmful representation of trans people, that they themselves are the exact kind of people that cyberpunk is designed to destroy: fascistic, unempathetic, and depraved proponents of a regime designed to foster irreversible and indiscriminate misery in technophilic dystopia."

"Cyberpunk 2077 is not captivatingly cyberpunk in the same way as Neuromancer or Akira, or a gigantic number of other cyberpunk texts, but I can assure you of one thing: the people who call Cyberpunk 2077 perfect and refuse to acknowledge its failings are the very same people who have no place in the society that cyberpunk warns against. As the internet drowns in vitriolic virulence in anticipation of the game’s full, unadulterated launch, these people are sharks in the water, hungry for blood. But we are not living in Cyberpunk, and we have not yet reached technophilic dystopia - we can suppress their hatred by starving them until they cannibalize each other, and revel in the humanity that Cyberpunk 2077’s quieter moments offer, away from the maelstrom and free of the people it has exposed as poisonous and predatory wankers."

The people that work for the developer/publisher that attack their consumer base? That's the not question to ask. The question is why aren't the immediately fired. You can't attack your customer base, no matter what you think of them. As a business, it's financial suicide. It shoud be business 101. Apparently these developers skipped that class. There is zero to be gained from it and a lot to lose. Companies not getting rid of these people tells the consumer they agree with the sentiment. These selfish blowhards tank games that dozens if not hundreds of other people have worked on. They show zero consideration for the company more importantly their fellow developers. 

Yes, the person saying "gamers were a mistake" is the selfish blowhard, and not the gamers sending death threats.

"Recently" is 4 years ago? 1 day before Cyberpunk's release and before he was even an employee of CDPR?

And no, he didn't insult all fans of Cyberpunk, actually read his article rather than only the title of a Substack post.

I wonder if they realize that by sending critics who have notified the world of potentially life-threatening sequences in the game videos that could triggers seizures in real life, that their actions are deplorable beyond human comprehension.

The People Who Call Cyberpunk 2077 Perfect Are The People That Cyberpunk Warns Us Against

Wow. Turns out he was not insulting me, a Cyberpunk 2077 player, but the people who were being dickheads and rightfully pointing out that those people are the ones that worlds like Cyberpunk's are also criticising. This was also after Cyberpunk's reviews where gamers were losing their shit at the low scores and attacking journalists for criticism, then it turned out, Cyberpunk was a broken piece of shit, Lol. It was ridiculous to label Cyberpunk as perfect and then attack journalists for criticising the game when it ended up in the state it did.

You literally replied right underneath all of those posts, that's a severe case of selective vision.

The post I replied to was the first of the first new page. I would see those posts if this website would allow me to see more than ten posts per page.
