Employees may be angry and angry at their treatment and the release of the game at the studio’s reputation.
Polish gaming company CD Projekt faces employee anger due to its recently launched product Cyberpunk 2077.
According to a Bloomberg report, Bloomberg reported that in a video conference held yesterday (Thursday, December 17), the company’s board of directors was interviewed by employees who were frustrated with the state of the game. CD Projekt’s management faces issues about the company’s reputation, unrealistic deadlines set, and the long-term austerity employees must endure.
On the management question, “Cyberpunk” was “complete and playable” in January of this year, which was not the case. At the same time, another staff member pointed out that CD Projekt’s hypocrisy used its staff A set of games. In a world full of corporate exploitation.
After three delays, “Cyberpunk 2077” was released on December 10. Last year, CD Projekt stated that it would complete the game without “mandatory” tightening, but at the beginning of 2020 stated that employees will actually tighten to complete development. In September, the studio also stipulated to work six days a week. Co-CEO Adam Kicinski told investors that the tightening of games was “not too bad” and he apologized to employees the next day.
Since its release, the title has received different welcomes. Despite the good reviews, the game was full of bugs and problems, and the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One versions were so bad that CD Projekt had to apologize for their quality. That was before Sony pulled the PS4 version of the game from the store.
Oh, then there is a small problem “Cyberpunk 2077” may cause seizures in epilepsy patients. Since then, the studio has released patches to address some of these issues.
All of this caused the stock price of CD Projekt to plummet. In August, the company’s market value reached $11.7 billion, making it the most valuable European game company at the time. Since then, its stock price has fallen by 40%, and today’s opening price has dropped 15.9% from the previous trading day, thanks to the news that Sony has withdrawn “Cyberpunk 2077” from PS4.
