Lets see, CDPR made sooo much money from the witcher 3, the best they ever have. What did they do, pay out bonuses, gave people time off, brought them all back to work on the next game.

I agree with most of what you said, but I don’t think it’s as easy as delay the game again instead of crunch. Companies like that usually answer to investors, and they eventually want a return on their money. The game has already been delayed several times. I can totally see a situation where the investors are like,…

This doesn’t seem like that big of a deal compared to what we normally hear about though. They’re having people work Saturdays for a while, which is a pretty normal thing for businesses when its needed. It doesn’t sound like they’re telling people they have to be there for 16 hour+ days or work 80+ hour weeks.

I was honored to have Patricia on the team all these years and will miss her a great deal. In announcing her departure to the team, I tried to sum up what a great talent she’s been, and I wanted to share that here, publicly, with Kotaku readers as well:

Best Kotaku article I’ve ever read, along with a valuable life lesson.

so that’s where their ark ended up...

Well great now I want a Mass EffectXStar Wars rpg.

I recently wrote about how to get into D&D: http://kotaku.com/how-to-get-into-dungeons-dragons-1793608193

And have written about 2-person D&D: http://kotaku.com/dungeons-dragons-can-work-with-just-two-people-1788951169

There were plans to do this for a while. Mike, Nathan and I started some initial planning. Things dropped off because of the logistics of getting three people in different parts of the country to play together. Perhaps if you flood their e-mail inboxes with praise and encouragement, they will be more inclined.

I’m on the fence about it being misleading. It also may just be my thought process but when I read the headline, my first thought was that he was screwed over by CDPR and/or WB (Witcher 3). But after reading the article it makes sense that he doesn’t get one cent from the games.

Considering Sapkowski’s disdain for the games, and previous comments, the headline seems a little misleading. He got paid upfront, and even demanded a lump sum instead of being cut in on the backend.

This isn’t someone being screwed over, this is someone being shortsighted and pigheaded.

Would you guys do a Twitch stream/podcast of Kotaku playing? Personally I would love to hear/watch it while I’m working away.
