The Witcher 3 barely sold, they're completely in the red and they need a buyout from a huge company to stay afloat.
Guess this pretty much puts this rumor to rest...

Who said you can't laugh during dark rumor time hahahahah
But.... but EA and CDP RED are like the opposit of each other when it comes to how they publish their games.
That doesn't match at all.
Edit:
Thank god

If EA controls GOG.com I will download everything I've bought immediately and back it up, because that will be the end of GOG.com.
I really hope this is not true

CDPR with the Star Wars license?

it wouldn't surprise me, honestly.
CDPR have shown disappointing behavior in the lead up to witcher 3. the graphics dumbdown, the exclusive XBONE content, disappointing their most loyal fans on the pc platform.
witcher 3 still turned out to be an amazing game, but it wouldn't surprise me at all if CDPR sells out compeltely now. I actually even think they deserve it.

The fact they said they were doing so only and wanting to focus on making the best sp experience is exactly why I got interested in Witcher in the first place. There are plenty of games that have mp (and sacrifice the sp experience for the easier to do and more lucrative mp), not every game has to have it and there is a place for games that want to give us sp players there full attention.
But, stuff like that is one of the many reasons I don't buy EA games.

That pic sums up my feelings perfectly...
I did not know this. Huh, that's a surprise.

Bad news if so.
I really hope that this is just a case of some bored writers. I haven't gotten past Witcher 1 but I respect CDPR and it'd be sad to see them change.

There aren't enough NOOOO gifs to cover how I feel about this.
This is a terrible opinion.

Uhm.
This rumor just exists cause of that one tweet?
They just finished Witcher 3, they're probably looking for publishers who'd fund a title so they don't have to take the full risk. You're not making publishing deals when something is about to release, you make them at the very start, to get a project signed.
I think that's the normal way devs do things and that employee probably had no idea with how these things work and got all panicky.

The fake rumor is about CDPR which is the gaming subsidiary owned under CDP, GOG is a different subsidiary under CDP. EA won't get their hands on on GOG unless they buy out the whole of CDP itself.
Good way to deflect what was happening.
No, people just like acting like this.

Why though? CDPR made enough money from the Witcher 3 to keep going?
So yeah, it sounds like the rumor is just someone stirring the pot.

From a financial standpoint, I doubt Bioware was ever stronger than as of now. Mass Effect and Dragon Age are major names in the industry which pushed them very high, and both were created under EA. Whatever you may think of the quality of their more recent games is subjective, but saying anything about EA ruining Bioware is factually incorrect.

It's probably through the partnership program so won't be that bad.
.... EA publishes Valves games on consoles lol

Oh god, what if EA is shopping around for a developer on a new Star Wars RPG? That males at least as much of not more sense than CDPR selling.CDPR with the Star Wars license?

One should also consider that if it's anything like the Witcher 2 pirated copies would double the sales if they had bought it. I know it isn't a valid argument irl but hey just putting it out there.
People just like giving those reaction gifs some use

Yeah, pretty much confirmed false here.
Slightly worse frame rate in a couple of areas versus the Xbone version, but calling the port "shitty" is blatant lies.

"Our management is probably talking with Electronic Arts about potential take over. Electronic Arts representatives are currently visiting our studio and meeting with top management."
aka, I saw someone with a visitor badge that said EA on it walking around and TIME TO GO INSANE.

Right....I don't understand why they would go through with this. Unless they feel held back right now and have ambitions to establish multiple studios releasing games every 2 years or so. Even then, didn't they establish a new studio recently?

who wants Triss?
Anyways wasn't it said that the upper management was pretty aloof from the whole development process etc and that CDPR isn't that great a place to work at?
If true it would make sense for them to try make bank now that they are worth more than anytime before and before having to invest heavily into a new project. Dunno though sounds unlikely
yeah take it away from all other platforms... sheesh.
