So, I call this dude out on one of the most bigoted things I’ve ever seen on Kotaku and *I* get greyed?

Seriously, dude. Guys like you are the reason that as a 5'5" male, I had to learn three martial arts and gain 50 pounds of muscle growing up.  

More like the entire “lollipop guild” wants to call you out as the worthless bigot you are.

I’ve entirely stopped reading this shit at this point. :’D I tried to skim all that and just gave up. It just seems like more of the same.

You are a liar! There is no NDA! Why would a video game that has shipped to production and contains a credit section have an NDA?

Here’s the funny thing: I’m looking at the old box full of my hire documents as a porting engineer right now. I just got it out of storage a week or two ago as part of my winter housecleaning efforts. It wouldn’t be hard at all to go grab a few of them, take some photos, put them up here.

So the idea that you are under an NDA on past products that have already shipped is laughable.

Okay, go run away and pretend you “got the last word”.

Give me a reason to tell you, friend. I have at least one NDA that’s still active, possibly two, I’d need to check my files. Are you worth risking getting in trouble for?

Let’s get something clear here: I don’t give two shits about what you think of me or my opinions on CP2077. :)

You can complain about whatever you want!!   I can complain about your complaints right back.  That’s kind of how free speech works.

That is also an assumption - the assumption that this company has no revenue after 2019, which is wrong!

In 2019, they had plenty of cash on hand - almost half a billion PLN (and that’s just cash, not other assets).

What video games have you worked on and what was your role?

I don’t hate Ubisoft, though I’m not really up on whatever workplace scandals they’ve had lately. Assassin’s Creed: Valhalla is a pretty amazing title, arguably far more “done” than CP2077 and worthy of Game of the Year consideration for sure.

I don’t disagree with any of that. I just want the hard work of hundreds of devs for more than half a decade to be recognized.

Thank you as well for helping explain! Gamers need a better education in the business side of game companies, most young people who haven’t ever made much money think that every problem should just be fixable at the touch of a button if you can just throw a big enough check at it, but that’s just not a thing.

My guess is that they have pretty substantial cash assets to fund production

“ But, being angry about a product that did not meet expectations is a consumer right.”

“Productive dialogue would be for you to stop trying to protect an abusive, lying billion dollar corporation because “making games is tough” and “game is dope though”.
