coronavirus and Cyberpunk 2077 will bring CD billion projectjackt Projekt – review

The expanding coronavirus pandemic has driven gaming studios home. In many cases, a sharp transition to remote work has affected the timing of the release of games. but Cd projekt assures that the test is successful and Cyberpunk 2077 will be on time.
Developer optimism shared by Martin Kakl, analyst Patria finance. The expert notes that developers and publishers are still in a favorable situation: people who are forced to stay at home because of quarantine are more likely to spend money on games.

According to the analyst and his agency, sales of Cyberpunk 2077 in 2023 will bring a billion dollars in profit to the Polish studio. And, if there are difficulties with physical copies and players have to buy the game online, it will only benefit CD Projekt’s revenues.

It all depends on how the pandemic develops and what negative impact it will have on the economy. So far, we see that people began to spend more on games, because they sit at home and are bored. This is a good sign for game creators, including CD Projekt.

The problem is that a pandemic can hit the economy. If the global economy falls into a deep recession, then people will have to severely cut spending. And the first to go under the knife are video games – players will prefer to save money for a rainy day, or they will be missed. In this case, sales of projects such as Cyberpunk do not live up to expectations.

The scenario with the lack of money from the players, Martin Kaklu, however, does not seem so likely. In addition, pre-orders of the game were opened a long time ago, and many of their money has already been invested in Cyberpunk 2077.

The main danger for the studio is that the final rush can reduce the quality of the finished product. However, CD Projekt always focused on quality, and now the most experienced Polish specialists from other studios have been attracted to the end of the game.
