Bruh wut.
They're either talking to them or not talking to them. There is no "probably" here
EDIT: Oh and yeah, this is shit.
I hope they can reach an agreement that will allow CD Proj. Red to operate with some degree of autonomy while expanding their reach.
Or, EA will EA once more.
I wonder how would an EA-owned CDPR support DRM free policies.
Good news. I know EA gets a ton of hate around here but they can be the pushing force to finally get CDPR's name out there.
EA could be saving CDPR's Cyberpunk game if the company's smart enough to take the deal
I don't see how CD Projekt will be able to function with EA. Bioware has been alright since they were used to working within the arms of a publisher and even they have had to struggle to not lose what makes Bioware games special. I can't see CD Projekt Red surviving a buy-out. Everything they do to make their games unique is anathema to a big publisher like EA and they have never had to work with one. This will be five years, the Cyperpunk game then a shuttered studio if they sell.
Are you guys forgetting that CD Projekt owns GOG.com? Just like Valve, they have a steady stream of income coming in from digital downloads that is completely separate from the games they develop. Selling the company to EA benefits no one.
Wow, if true, goodbye GOG and any future CD Projekt franchises exclusive to Origin.
Valve halp.
Companies work hard for money, not the "good will of hardcore gamers". If their brands and products earn them the interest of a large party willing to offer remuneration for their talent, this is cause for celebration if you like these guys.
Be happy they're being rewarded for their hard work. If they take what they're offered, it means EA or whoever ponied up a sum they believe commensurate to their work and talent - and when your effort pays off to the degree you believe you're worth, it can only be called success.
Congrats to these guys, this is well deserved if it goes through.
Valve isn't that great anymoreValve halp.
