The Internet has been actively discussing Polish studio for the last few months CD Projekt REDas well as her work culture and production cycles. The reason for this was the publications from Jason Schreier, who, in his investigation, tried to talk about the inner workings of a famous team and the sacrifices its employees have to make to release the hotly anticipated role-playing game Cyberpunk 2077…
At some point, criticism “crunch culture” in CD Projekt RED reached such a serious scale that at a recent meeting with investors Adam Kichinsky, the current CEO, made an official comment, assuring business partners that “there are no reworkings in the studio, and in fact there have never been“.
Moreover, the senior manager added that the stories about the difficult working environment within the team are just a hyped news feed by the press.
But as reported on a personal blog Jason Schreier, The next day Adam Kichinsky withdrew from his speech given at the meeting with investors. The manager considered the voiced position disrespectful towards employees and sent a letter by corporate mail with a sincere apology…
“Dear friends, from the bottom of my heart I would like to apologize to you for the words that I said at the conference call with investors last Tuesday. I did not want to touch on the topic of rework, but I did it anyway, and with a demanding and destructive tone. I confess. honestly, the stress from the transfer and the meeting just started to let go of me, and now the realization of the statement I made comes to me.
I have nothing to say in my defense. My act is not just incorrect, it is really nasty. So I ask again – please accept my sincere apologies.
I have always been proud and will continue to be proud of how much love and dedication you put into your work.
Always yours, Adam “, – says the text of the letter sent to all employees of CD Projekt RED. Internal sources forwarded Schreier the words of Kicinski.
Taking all this into consideration, Schreier again publicly criticized the top CD Projekt REDin an attempt to explain to an audience defending developers that it is abnormal for a company director to apologize to his employees for publicly denying overwork.
Something surreal about the fact that fans and pundits continue to insist that the crunch wasn’t so bad when the company’s co-CEO felt obliged to apologize to his staff for saying the crunch wasn’t so bad
