A real badass. Watch out for this guy. He looks like he's got a brutal jab.

I bet he has, in that toilet he took a selfie in..

 

[Mister Wolf]

TW4 is going to be woketard garbo, and you fucking know it.

Then it's a skip. Good videogames to play are a dime a dozen.

It's probably more of a slap.

I worked in dev for 3 decades and I have no fucking idea what a "franchise & lore designer" actually does.

Is that a synonym for Junior Designer, because they lack the technical skills or creative chops to actually contribute in any sort of meaningful capacity?

Laughable.

No idea why an Eastern European studio would be hiring Westerners.

This project has got safe, sterile, lesser version of The Witcher 3 written all over it. People will convince themselves it’s fine at release as they’ve spent £70 on it, but there’s going to be some brutal retrospectives.

I’m proud to be a Gamer™. I’ve never felt more normal than today.

 

[semiconscious]

Why are so many western videogame developers, activists, and journo's such unhinged lunatics?

exposure to universities/academia. all western 'woke' occupations share this trait. same reason so many carpenters/plumbers/electricians aren't unhinged lunatics...

 

[CompleteGlobalSaturation]

Another game which I can safely ignore.

TLDR

I agree with this just because it's so easy to be cynical these days. It's been a week and we already have a few red flags. Probably best to err on the side of caution with this one.

I understand it as a lead writing role. This is double awful. First, we can see what kind of person he is and what we can expect from him. Second, he is another intruder in a writing role that should be taken by an actual fantasy writer.

TW4's writing is certainly going to be trash. For a narrative-focused videogame, this is a deal-breaker, unless it has a super awesome gameplay that makes up for it.

CDPR is transitioning. Witcher for modern audiences incoming.

 

[ResilientBanana]

Man, with stances like these it makes me never want to buy a game from GoG or purchase another CDP title. I get being honest, open, and accepting. But this is too much and is very toxic in and of itself. You don't fight toxicity with more toxicity.

FFS - Another studio poisoned

Didn't watch the video but 5 minutes reading youtube comments and twitter stuff makes me wanna punch gamers too.

His most brutal move is the rug burn he’ll give the top of your dick.

 

[YeulEmeralda]

Netflix should organise a fight.

 

[Nostalgic Nightmare]

More proof the whole "From the Studio that made X" doesn't mean shit anymore. There's a really good chance the people responsible for games/franchises you love are long gone - replaced by self-fellating parasites that think their causes are righteous (and take precedence over making quality products).

“The thing that will never cease to amaze me about people who tirelessly defend Harry Potter is that they'll say, ‘But you used to like it, you just don't like it anymore because you disagree with JKR's brazen transphobia’ and it's like...

Sure hope this guy doesn't like anything to do with cosmic horror because the guy who pretty much invented it was a full blown hardcore racist.

But somehow HP Lovecraft gets a pass by the woke crowd. Go figure.

Yo dont risk peoples safety, he’s gonna come here and do this to everyone and no1 can stop him

Best start training

They are no longer a Eastern European studio, as they have development teams in Vancouver, Boston, Los Angeles, and Shanghai.

 

[nkarafo]

How did all these people who hate gamers ended up being working in the gaming industry?

 

[Rush2112]

Oh he used to write for vice? he’s basically a communist.

I'm in as long as the main character is a butch lesbian. The industry needs more of them in AAA gaming.

 

[Zacfoldor]

Okay, I read it all.

Now, how to comment on this without catching a ban? Hmm.

no, that's not it. how bout:

Catch a ban? Nah the big mawn doesn't play by them rules, you must've thought you where logged in over at Reetard

 

[Denton]

CD Projekt needs better HR apparently. What a moron.

 

[Reaseru]

And some people here want to pass the illusion that gamers just hate shaved head female characters just because...

 

[Griffon]

When I say Cyberpunk was their swansong, I meant it.

CDPR isn't the same people anymore.

 

[Sgt.Asher]

Is it really a ship of theseus if the replacement parts are poor substitutes?

Can we stop witch hunting the social media history of random employees and just enjoy games?

“This isn't really a new or even worthwhile observation, but people online are way too obsessed with other people's lives and choices. Who gives a shit what anyone else is doing once they're content and not harming anyone. Let people be happy and mind your own business,” he concluded.

What a Fucking Hypocrite.

You can start with the person in the mirror. I believe that person is a gamer

[V1LÆM]

The reaction to this game is stupid and makes me want to punch some gamers too. People just want to find something to be angry about.

Ciri as main character has been the most obvious and logical next step. You’d know this if you read the books or played the games. She is the main character with Geralt. There is no Witcher story without her. It revolves all around her.

 

[Monjiro]

When I say Cyberpunk was their swansong, I meant it.

CDPR isn't the same people anymore.

Cyberpunk itself wasn't something I enjoyed already. Especially after Badowski. For me their swansong is Witcher 3.

 

[Calico345]

Oh, look! It's someone else in the industry who should just be quiet and do their job instead of antagonizing the customers.

 

[nemiroff]

I agree, I'd like to punch a gamer or two myself - Myself included.

Why don't you apply that to the one attacking his target audience? Action-reaction.
