Jason Schreier @jasonschreierI've seen speculation that CDPR is faking this (?) but employees tell me they're taking it very seriously. The company told staff they'll need to take several specific precautions to protect their identities and prevent fraud. It's going to be a real hassle for many of them. I guess it becomes the story of the boy who cried wolf, for when it was just taking the statement from CDPR management I was left questioning if they were just trying to manipulate us again.

Imagine hazing your entire staff and sending them into a panic as a publicity stunt.
My favorite part is the commentary on how someone might use the source code to make their own mods, even though thatâs illegal as fuck.

So again its that being skeptical of what the company is saying because they haven't been honest with us over other things. Edit: I just want to add that its not that I feel this way now, but how I felt when I first heard the news before looking deeper into it.

However staff was treated, regardless of whether it was good or bad, serves as a means to meet a profitable end. Faking a security breach like this doesnât seem like it would offer any benefits at all. Garnering sympathy points is definitely not in the cards. If the building collapsed around them someone would probably just post âCD Projekt REKTâ in the comments to the article. It wouldnât help them delay their patch update cycle either. Itâs doubtful theyâd be given an extension so that they donât face any fines for delaying. All around this seems like it would just be a negative to do so. Itâs like setting yourself on fire because you want someone to hose you down. Edit: Anyhoo, seems like some stuff is already being leaked, something about Gwent in particular, so at least thereâs some evidence that they have enough to cause an actual stir. Commentary around this is interesting. So many people are under the impression that leaked source code could be used to implement a series of fan-made fixes, because computer crimes no longer exist now.

I guess this should make one optimistic about the outlook for Cyberpunk, because The Witcher 3 was a buggy mess too, and was heavily criticized for being a downgraded version of what they showed off prior to release. It received numerous patches over time, and with the subsequent DLCâs, all of that mess is barely even a fading memory. I am not sure if they can make a Witcher 3 recovery with Cyberpunk for the problems I have are vastly deeper then just the bugs in the game. With The Witcher 3 the game had a long tail where new people kept trying the game to see what all the hype was about, but with Cyberpunk it was more like a BioWare release where they have massive Day 1 sales and then it falls off. If I recall correctly the majority of bugs in The Witcher 3 took only a couple of months to fix, but with Cyberpunk there still seems to be a great amount to fix still. Then they have the daunting task of bringing people back to Cyberpunk versus with The Witcher 3 they were attracting new people to the game. I am not saying its an impossible task, but the saying of "you only get one first impression" is true as well. Yeah while TW3 had bugs it didn't really enter the public consciousness much imo. I think their best chance of salvaging situation to a fair degree is the bounce of a great post game expansion, alongside a bug free main game. You'd start getting people talking about it for that right reasons.

I don't think they would be able to fully make the main game bug free without going back and redoing a lot of work at least going by my experiences and the reports on how the game was made. The other thing I think that would need to be fixed to get people to come back or at least those that weren't completely put off by the bugs (I put myself here) is the AI of the game. Looking beyond the bugs I experienced with my time in the game the AI was the thing that frustrated me the most. Maybe they will be able to recover for anything is possible, I am just skeptical it would happen.

So many people are under the impression that leaked source code could be used to implement a series of fan-made fixes, because computer crimes no longer exist now. I agree, people online don't see to think things through completely. Its okay to hack a company and use its source code only because they released a game you didn't like. Then again these are probably the same people that send death threats because a game was delayed and then send more when the game isn't to their standards either. Edit: one thing I have seen in "articles" that I think is a little far fetched is the prediction that companies might not green light cyberpunk style games in the future because there is hacking in it and they might be afraid to put that into a game thinking that is how people might retaliate against them.

Simplest solution I think would be to only work on performance tweaks on the current version of the game, release the freebie add-on sometime later this year, but leave any major overhauls and paid expansion content strictly for the next-gen version of the game. By the end of the year, all previous-gen systems are probably going to get left behind completely, just like what BioWare did with Inquisition. Not sure how much CDPR can actually do for the AI in the version out now, but itâs a fair bet they wonât see any major behavioral tweaks.

I am wondering what the reception might be like is they leave the older hardware behind in future content like BioWare did with Trespasser. It wasn't a well liked decision from the people that bought the game on that hardware, with a lot of claims of being lied and misled because they aren't getting that piece of DLC. Before Cyberpunk I think CDPR could have done that without a lot of controversy, but now its hard to say. Yeah, I won't hold my breath for AI improvements, its why I am not sure if they can recapture the people that walked away from the game that had more issues then just the state of the game with bugs.

Yeah I remember the bit of drama when it turned out The Descent and Trespasser were PS4/XBone-only, but you could really tell that these expansions wouldâve been too much for the older hardware to handle. With everyone saying that CDPR should never have released it on older hardware, theyâd kind of be getting their wish in the end. At the very least, they donât have to buy the base game again. Only real issue I see now is how this whole current-gen release cycle is going. I reckon by the end of the summer, we shouldnât be suffering this scalperpalooza anymore.....hopefully....maybe.

Honestly at this point I'm just waiting until Halo Infinite's release date for the Xbox Series X. Who knows, maybe they'll do a special Halo version like they did for Halo 3, 4, and 5 (plus it'll be Xbox's/Halo's 20th anniversary). PS5 can be whenever.

I would hope, I have heard too many conversations around me with people refusing to get the shot. I cannot believe people still believe the comments from the "medical expert" Jenny McCarthy about the things vaccinations do while ignoring all the other evidence. It shouldn't surprise me, but it does.

GameSpot @gamespotFollowing the CD Projekt Red hack earlier this week, hackers are allegedly now selling the source code to CDPR games for $1,000,000. www.gamespot.com/articles/cyberpunk-2077-code-allegedly-up-for-auction-after-cd-projekt-red-hack/1100-6487379/"According to the well-known data security firm vx-underground, the hackers posted the source code to the Exploits forum, an internet forum populated by other hackers. Vx-underground said the hackers started a bid at $1 million for the code to Cyberpunk 2077, the free-to-play card-based game Gwent, and an unreleased version of The Witcher 3. The hackers are supposedly selling the code immediately to anyone willing to shell out $7 million."

I guess I don't have the insight, but I don't see any value in the code outside of selling it back to CDPR. With games like Call of Duty or Battlefield I could see it being used to make undetectable hacks for the multiplayer, but with CDPR games they don't seem to fall into that category where a profit can be made from their code especially with the mess it sounds like it is in just from development.

I don't see how the source code would benefit anyone but CDPR. What are the hackers gonna do, get a team of 500 people together and make an alternate Cyberpunk?

So the source code has allegedly been sold for a âsatisfactoryâ, yet undisclosed sum. www.pcmag.com/news/cd-projekts-stolen-source-code-has-been-soldOf course, the possibilities are endless here. It could be that CDPR bought it back on the sly, which is unlikely since that would be a victory too sweet for the culprits to keep to themselves, or it didnât actually sell, and this was just a stunt for attention, and a ânewâ party that âpurchasedâ the information could start doing things to stir the pot and draw this out a bit longer. According to CDPR, this will likely affect short-term development. Guess weâll find out if this particular wank-off turns out interesting or just another annoying chapter soon forgotten.

As much as it might suck that the source code for their games is in the wild, I am curious to know what impacts it does have on the future of Cyberpunk. I would guess it means that CDPR might go back and modify the Red Engine again to alter it enough to prevent any vulnerabilities from showing up, but it sounds like that is something they do with each game. I know they were planning on an online component that involved MTX, but I could see that being scrapped or completely reworked because of this. What I am glad I am not hearing a lot about is the contents on the HR server. I think that is the true nightmare scenario of this situation for as much as it might be a PR blow to have people finding the holes in the game code. Having the information of current and potential former employees is from my understanding a very valuable commodity and not to mention the amount of work and concern it is for the individuals themselves.

Having the information of current and potential former employees is from my understanding a very valuable commodity and not to mention the amount of work and concern it is for the individuals themselves. Yeah, I think overall the Gwent, TW3 and Cyberpunk source code stuff was relatively small potatoes. I heard something from one video about âoffensesâ with regards to HR docs, but I honestly canât see that being anything meaningful. As someone who had to process lots of HR garbage, âoffensesâ typically meant writeups resignations or terminations for things no one really cares about, and much of that might have basic language that donât give nearly enough details to be juicy. I donât expect the multiplayer component to even be something that materializes into anything meaningful for a number of years. By then, whatever CDPR does with its engine might just be way too different from whatever was released in the wild anyway.

The source code will only help cheaters in Gwent, I doubt any cheat maker will spend millions for it. I can see the buyers only being interested in the internal documents, only the investors who sue CDPR or a journalist outlet will care for it and have 1-7mil to pay for it.

I can see the buyers only being interested in the internal documents, only the investors who sue CDPR or a journalist outlet will care for it and have 1-7mil to pay for it. I have suspicions about whether or not it even sold for anywhere close to that amount. Iâm guessing not. Boy, the idea of it being an investor or group of investors paying for this would be wild, because that would endanger the lawsuit. Iâm pretty sure thatâd be grounds for a dismissal. No way could a case go forward after a stunt like that. Edit: Now the âbuyerâ is on the clock to really provide anything meaningful to get their point across, whatever that is, and Iâm guessing that if anything were to happen, it should happen at the very most over the course of the weekend. The longer this drags out, the more it lends to the belief that nothing actually sold at all, and that âsatisfyingâ offer was nothing more than a bluff.

Cyberpunk 2077 @cyberpunkgame While we dearly wanted to deliver Patch 1.2 for Cyberpunk 2077 in the timespan we detailed previously, the recent cyber attack on the studioâs IT infrastructure and extensive scope of the update mean this unfortunately will not happen â weâll need some additional time.
Our goal for Patch 1.2 goes beyond any of our previous updates. Weâve been working on numerous overall quality improvements and fixes, and we still have work to do to make sure thatâs what you get. With that in mind, weâre now aiming for release in the second half of March.
Itâs not the news we enjoy sharing, but we want to make sure we launch this update properly. Stay tuned for more information as the time draws closer. Thank you for your continued patience and support.
