Link: https://www.eteknix.com/cdpr-hack-cyberpunk-2077-source-code-stolen/ My take: While the "ransom letter" looks really childish, and I don't condone hacking in any way, they did say they're "confirming that the compromised systems did not contain any personal data of our players or users of our services", so the impact should be directly on the company. Also, if this ends up being true, then the source code for Gwent will be in the public and for those people upset about the shut down, having the source code out there would enable some crafty coders to potentially recreate Gwent and make it accessible again.

There's speculation on whether or not it's a pr stunt because of the way the ransom letter is written. Whether this is true or not and whether they deserve it or not, a Gwent revival would be awesome...and kindof sad at the same time that that's what it took. Also, in light of CDPR's most recent track record regarding truthfulness, I wouldn't outright believe them if they "confirm" user data wasnt affected. Anyone with a GoG account should consider changing passwords and keep an eye on linked credit cards etc Edited February 9, 2021 by AJ_-_808 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone with a GoG account should consider changing passwords and keep an eye on linked credit cards etc Public companies have specific legal obligations when it comes to consumer data. This kind of accused PR stunt would only result in a shitload of work for their legal and IT teams. I would advise everyone to remove linked credit cards to any services they use and only add them to make a purchase, then remove them again. Also, have a low limit credit card that is dedicated to online purchases. Limit potential exposure anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robiemuze Posted February 10, 2021 Share Posted February 10, 2021 It's actually an incredible game, stop hating just because you played it on an old console Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess loyalty to your countrymen is a good thing, though your response is basically what CDPR already said, to be fair, they waste so much time on Twitter I wouldn't be surprised they browse this forum and could potentially hire you. But, all jokes aside, here's the thing, they started this game in what, 2012? And, more importantly, nobody forced them with a gun on their head to release it on ps4, they released it there, and went the extra mile to hide how the game functioned. Now, it's true that videogames is one of the worst customer medium, with said customers being the most guillible of all, but you can't blame this on them.

So they showed a trailer and hyped up the game only to start working on the game 4 fucking years later? That's even worse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No way, I refuse to believe this. I mean, what's there to copy/steal? Hell, even Ubisoft game's coding would be 10x times more useful than CP77's. 70k maybe.

False advertisment and marketing which is illegal. Not sure why you think others should stop hating on something that they were promised years ago. But yeah i bet the game is incredible and without any issues, thats why cdpr lost 1 billion when they released the game. ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They lost a billion dollars of market valuation, but actually made tens of millions in profits. Losing market valuation isn’t the same as losing money. Preorders already recouped all their marketing and all their productions costs ever incurred and still earned them millions of dollars on top of those costs being recouped. There is no need for parroting falsities. There’s plenty of other things not to like about the game and company without needing to go there.

They wouldnt have lost a billion if they hadnt released the state the game was in to the public though but they did. The “no need to parroting falsities” is true but try telling cdpr that. They were the ones who said a million times “its ready when its ready” talk. Whats even worse is how much money they made on a broken promise. I preorder games too like many others and its sad to see something you paid for and someone you trusted your money with turn out the way it did. You saw their twitter post and how proud they were at 8+ million preorders right? That was after the game was released and they knew how broken it was too. impressive how it can take years to build something up and one wrong move and all of that means nothing over night.
