Despite the scandal with the deception of players and journalists, the release of the game Cyberpunk 2077 literally made the founders of the Polish company rich CD Projekt RED… Reported by the American edition Forbes…
Earlier it became known that the production costs of the project could be recouped due to pre-orders. Managed to sell more than eight million copies, the lion’s share of which fell on the PC.
However, this is not the end of it. As the journalist notes David Dawkinsdespite fluctuations in CD Projekt RED’s stock price due to a problematic start of sales, the founders of the company Marcin Ivinsky and Michal Kiczynski became billionaires.
Kichinsky left CD Projekt RED in 2013, however he owns 10% of the shares. Before the release of Cyberpunk 2077, the businessman’s fortune at the end of last week was estimated at approximately $ 900 million.
Ivinsky’s share is 13%. At the peak of market interest in CD Projekt RED (December 4), its fortune was estimated at $ 1.5 billion, but after the release, the estimates had to be adjusted to $ 1.1 billion.
It’s unclear how long CD Projekt RED will be considered billionaires, given the studio’s plight continues to deteriorate.
Analysts believe that the management of the Polish studio made a big mistake in deciding to release Cyberpunk 2077 in such a deplorable state. Yes, the PC version works more or less fine, but the top management of the company literally lied at meetings with investors and journalists, talking about how “wonderful” the versions for the previous generation consoles worked.
In reality, porting to PS4 and Xbox One has received little attention. Moreover, at the last meeting with investors in CD Projekt RED, they admitted that the company literally deceived representatives Sony and Microsoftto let them pass raw builds of Cyberpunk 2077 through control. The promise of refunds is also not worth a damn, because the Poles hoped on the goodwill of the platform holders, and not on special agreements.
People who are counting on the fact that the developers will bring to mind the game on PS4 and Xbox One should take off the rose-colored glasses. Even after tweaks, it is extremely unlikely that the performance of the above versions will improve. This was confirmed by CD Projekt RED, asking to moderate expectations.
