Yeah, the same investors who rushed the release are the same who are crying about costs now. I can't imagine how expensive was to get the game in proper shape. They set the company's reputation on fire and now are paying the price in form of diminished returns, how surprising.
I don't think the investors should be blamed for the launch issues. At the end of the day it was CDPR who set the release date. Although, I think CDPR definitely deserves praise for allowing devs 3 year to work on the expansion and 2.0. That shit was expensive and I bet they knew investors wouldn't love it, but they did it anyway
@@JuiceHead3 There is nobody but investors to blame. They were pushing for release even tho CDPR wanted to delay again but the management caved to investors. Tell me, who would you blame then? The people who caved to pressure or the ones pressuring?
@@ChesterZirawin can you share an example of investors pressuring? I don’t recall this at all. Cyberpunk 2077 was delayed several times and the stock price continued to rise after the first several delays
@@JuiceHead3 this was actually fairly well known, it became an ironic story of how corpos in night city are the villains, and corpos (the investors) are responsible for torching the reputation CDPR spent years building with pro-consumer moves with the witcher and the expansions "We leave the greed to others". There's not a chance any of the developers wanted it to go out in the state it was back in 2020. They wanted it to release so they could capitalise on the Christmas buying period.
Fr, its whats basically going to become our world but if it had actual cool things in it. Once our world turns like that there wont be nearly as much or any cool things. And there will be no hope, no blaze of glory nothing. So lets not let it get to that.
Yep, and I super agree with CDPR that new games are really the way forward with the franchise. One or two DLCs is always good but I would eventually get bored with CBP2077 if they did more than they already have. They need to explore new people's stories, and expand on the RPG elements, but this setting has an absolute boatload of potential for it.
I'm so glad that CDPR is making effort to really make this Cyberpunk stuff not just a game, but a whole franchise of stuff. They've got the books, songs, anime, toys, statues, etc. Continuing to expand on this is definitely a good move in my opinion. There's a ton to explore in this universe created back in the 80's.
In theory, they could even bring in some more witcher Easter eggs or a couple of side missions. Ciri in W3 spoke about all the worlds she saw and a couple sounded cyberpunkesque so we might could have missions about "a crazed swordswomen with impossible abilities" or something to that effect.
@pwnzlikeme I think it's obvious too, but she never flat out said "night city" or "arasaka" or anything that'd be a direct link. Cdpr could still try to worm out of an appearance/Easter egg by bullsh*tting us saying "well she never expressly said it, right?" Thus my non-committal previous remark.
I hope for that too. But that's hard to do under an economic system where the only thing that matters is profit. Artists and game devs are forced to churn out market-friendly unfinished products often instead of thoughtful and well-polished products slowly.
@@klimentbassev8866 CDPR + Star Citizen funding = GOAT Games. I think the only way they can make enough for both upcoming games to be good would be to sell out to a publisher, but I'd hate for them to lose their identity. Hopefully things start looking up!
I could have said this back in the day but they have since shown potential to be ubisoft or EA so no, l would suggest a nice bit of skepticism. Clearly they arent messiahs as we initially thought. They arent Ubisoft tier aswell seeing with the effort put in fixing there mess. But still, they have shown potential of betraying trust for quick $. Much risk surrounds them after losing alot of goodwill. Have they redeemed themselves? l cant say
@@effyeadude Yeah just imagine what they can do with Star ciitzen funding? Likely not much since they have now essentially become a AAA dev studio. With there move to the US solidifying this fact. Even a billion dollars would be swallowed up by the now massive devpt costs there games are going to have. There love for using celebrities doesnt help this issue in anyway. And that comes with all the issues we see with other AAA game studios (bugs, cut content, lack of polish etc) due to the companies focus being warped by the relentless desire to maximize profit. I personally think they they would have done better by remaining a smaller down to earth studio. Games can have smaller scope but still be remarkable. Look at baldurs gate 3? Had they remained back in poland, limited the level of power they allowed the suites. I think they would be a beloved studio for years to come similar to Fromsoft. Money isnt it all. Elden ring was just 200m yet its one of the greatest games ever created.
@@effyeadudeI think the Live action project, if it's a show or whatever will help keep them going until their next release. Make profit from the live action thing then get more people to buy 2077+PL similar to what happened with the witcher
I cannot express how happy it makes me to see a dev team prioritize their long term development ability over returns to shareholders. Just hope it doesn’t kill them in the long run.
I really hope they keep investing in this universe and IP, it feels like there are many stories to be told in that world and most of us are hungry for more adventures in that world.
I agree. I think it is a waste of potential honestly to not fill the like 7+ years in between released games with at least some type of content?? It doesn't have to be huge mega expensive story stuff maybe just some additional repeatable activities or something like that at least?
God. A live action Cyberpunk show... Let's all pray to the media gods that current Hollywood doesn't get their disgusting hands on the IP. They'll do to CP77 what they've done to Star Wars, Castlevania: Nocturne, Lord of the Rings, and Cowboy Bebop. Protect your IP CDPR.
we need a cast that is as dedicated to Cyberpunk as Cavill was to the Witcher. It did not save it yes but without him the show would've sucked by a mile, so if we get a couple more people in the cast for this one who are like this then it could become a banger!
If anything, CDPR is the one that picks the studio and will keep close watch on it, just like Edgerunners, so there's 80% chance of it actually being good
dont forget Halo, newest season of Witcher, Death Note, Rampage, all the Resident Evils, Postal, Doom, Monster Hunter, Max Payne, Silent Hill....thats just off the top of my head.
@@terragladeThat’s the sad reality of console gaming today. Xbox and Sony keep pumping out next gen consoles and game developers are forced to cater towards them because you have to future proof your games and company. Unless you have a specific reason to play on console, I recommend getting a decent pc. You can still play with your controller and the prices right now for a pc that can play most next gen games smoothly is the lowest it’s ever been, and if you pick the right parts, it’s easier to upgrade specific parts instead of buying a new console every time.
CDPR had a horrible drop in reputation and sales by prioritizing profit over quality. Now they are investing in the mid to long term, which will pay more dividends, but the lack of immediacy repels investors. They want more money each year, with low production costs, like Activision. If this repels the short sighted and the impatient, I believe they will be all the stronger because of it.
@IronVaquero no, they are investors. That's exactly what investing has turned into over the last 20 years. There's almost no such thing as a long term investment now. Every single purchase is meant to be flipped as soon as possible.
I truly hope things go well for CDPR I know the suits are pretty money hungry but they are a passionate studio and if given time and the resources they can make truly amazing stuff.
When I played Cyberpunk for the first time in 2020 and instantly loved it, I could have never hoped for this amount of content and attention. It's amazing
I absolutely love Cyberpunk. I just wish they had a new game plus option. That would definitely make replaying even better. Especially with the updated enemy levels to be on par with your own rather than having "level zones".
To be honest? enemy scaling is the single best feature from 2.0. Sure, you can become really overpowered at the endgame, but the game never turns braindead easy even on the hardest difficulty because enemies scale only to 30 or so.
I hope CDPR digs deeper into some of the weirder things in the setting. Stuff like posergangs, some of the most "pointless" implants people get like the arm pillow, and that sort of thing. I also hope it leads to good things for R. Talsorian Games and they didn't get just a one time licencing fee.
This goes to show that the stock market is just absolutely insane. The dlc is 30 and the sale is 3 million. If we go by steam cut of 30% that’s 60 million IN THE FIRST WEEK. They made half their cost this year in a week. Bonkers the lot of them.
but maybe that will change in the future, also maybe the reason why unreal games have terrible modding support is because no game was actually really worth the hassle? i don't really know how modding works, I've worked on creating video games before but I was a designer, not a dev so feel free to correct me or explain to me why it's bad and how it works
players and critics rate new dlc as massive success. Investors SELL SELL SELL. what does this tell us? what players want is not what investors want. investors want to milk the players and players want good games.
the first goal of any company is to make money, this is why they exist. CDPR learned the hard way that you don't make money by upsetting your customers.
@@xviii5780it’s not that it’s bad or good, it just completely changes the landscape of a company. Being a publicly traded company allows them to take the “potential” of there company, and drag it to the current day for it to be monetized. It’s simply another asset a company can leverage, how they leverage is up to them. Being privately owned seems more transparent and morally correct, because the health of the company is solely derived from the product they sell. However… what if the product is bad (like CP2077 was at launch), one bad launch can destroy your company. Also, with leveraging stock, they might be able to merge with other companies, advertise more attractive employee benefits, get loans that they otherwise couldn’t, and declare losses to avoid paying taxes they were already going to pay. It could mean the downfall of a company, or it’s ascension to a hire level. The world you know today is built of the backs of Publicly Traded Companies, you can’t just say there bad lol.
If they develop the live action project and next game in tandem, that unlocks a ton of possibilities for not just consistency and workflows when they create set pieces and environments, but they’d be able to utilize the volume for filming in the same way modern Star Wars series do
I think that CDPR and trigger could have changed their minds on edge-runners after seeing how popular and acclaimed it was. Perhaps since David is a streetkid, they can tell stories from the other life paths, corpo and nomad, with references to previous edgerunners events.
It's kind of weird they seem in such a hurry to move on to the next game now that everything seems to be working very well. I would think they would try to make money off of as many expansions as possible considering how expensive the game was to create in the first place and how much good-will they initially lost on release I really think they should do the no Man's sky thing and release more expansions rather than just moving on to Witcher 4 or whatever. They really could make cyberpunk something to remember with a couple more expansions and maybe some additional repeatable endgame type content stuff like the car missions and air drops.
Apparently it's the problem with their engine. Even if the game is optimized now, every new set of code can cause major issues, bugs, glitches etc. They won't waste time and money on that, so they want to rapidly shift to UE5 (which means: new games).
Hopefully, this serves as a reminder to them, both the investors and CDPR top brass, to never rush a game's release. It takes time to create something beautiful. Imagine, if CB2077 was released today with all the bell's and whistles that 2.0 has and probably more, it could have been touted as one of the greatest games ever. No comeback stories or whatsoever, just straight up people and the critics praising this game. They could have charged extra on those "free dlcs" we got and people wouldn't mind paying because that's how great it is. Just happy that they own to their mistakes and given that it is a pricey one, one that is needed for a major wake up call. Hopefully in this decade before 2030 ends, we see something major from CDPR, witcher or cyberpunk.
Imho, this would be the perfect time to invest in CDPR. 'Investors' have jumped the boat, making space for new long time investors who want to make some real eddies in the 5-10 years scope. Not to mention, you can get shares at a considerable discount rn.
tbh financially its not a good decision, too much uncertainty and a very long time before you have any hope of returns. Still disappointing to see though
Honestly if we get a sort of black mirror/ Love Death + robots sort of show but as cyberpunk I would love that so much. Not exactly a whole series focusing on just one crew/cast but maybe several different stories colliding at different times. Either way after seeing their ability to write stories that seem to wring out emotions and their music scores I believe they'll pull it off with flying colors.
I feel like something akin to Star Wars Visions could work out well, an anthology series possibly in cooperation with multiple studios that tell self-contained stories in the Cyberpunk universe.
The most important thing is that the game is fun to play, I mean despite the fact that I didn't have as many issues as some people had on PS4 I still clocked over 150 hours in that version before I switched to PC and the PS5, and I am very hesitant with first person games because I get motionsick. The fact that they focus is on the game itself being playable early on means great things because all they need to do is fill it with assets, content and make sure all every T is crossed and I dotted. The most concerning thing is the live action content, that will _always_ be concerning.
From their reputational perspective they shouldn’t have launched on the PS4, but considering it was impossible to get a PS5 for so long, I think many who owned a PS4 and couldn’t afford or get anything else got to enjoy the game. As the story was equally good on any platform. They should have maybe been upfront with a refund policy on it and had a warning that it’s not PS4 optimised so “buy it but get a refund if you don’t like it”.
@@pressrepeat2000 I dunno. I mean for the most part there's nothing about the game that couldn't be done on PS4 any less that any other open world game. The open world, the missions, the combat all worked to a degree. I think the problem was just they didn't spend the time bug testing and ironing out certain sharp edges. Sure I couldn't get a PS5 for years, but I had a PC, not the strongest it runs the game at 45-50fps at custom settings, but I didn't consider switching to it until they started changing things about the engine that requires more or faster RAM like upgrading the NPC ai and in the end it was the bugs introduced by the _patches_ that made me switch. Even 2.0 has a few quirks that we forgive and if it had run that well no one would have freaked out. In the end the free upgrade from PS4 to PS5 once I got one made things right. I didn't want a refund I just wanted to play the _game._
I think there's a part glossed over on the 100 mil for phantom liberty. It included the costs for 2.0 update. Which the level of work done for the revamp, is undoubtedly a significant part of cost. Breaking that down due to the large overlap for accounting purposes would be difficult. Still not ideal but it definitely changes how that should be looked at.
The drop in share price make perfect sense and is certainly NOT about being "punished for investing in quality" as some way too cynical people put it. They're being punished for not being able to stick to their own budgets and for investing and expanding extremely heavily into a very risky future where no other project seem to even close to completion. Investors now have very little to properly gauge that future on for CDPR other than what CDPR is saying about it. Remember all things they said about Cyberpunk 2077 original? They have NOT delivered on that in terms of game or investments. Investing in CDPR right now is very high risk even long term. There is no guarantee their next big release whenever it come out will be good enough and certainly not cost effective enough. Their track record right now is not impressive. The original cyberpunk was a complete disaster and now they going way over budget. The stock market is simply adjusting a more fair valuation of the company given the extreme high risk environment video gaming is. Remember gamers you not the only ones that was fooled by the hype.
Really surprising that cdpr is tanking in the stock market, Phantom liberty is a masterpiece and I’ll argue that it’s actually UNDER PRICED when it comes to how much content you’re getting!
A perfect example of why the customers (players) and the shareholders are not the same target groups, sometimes they actually may have opposite targets. Meaning, is many cases if the company wants to please stakeholders, it has to hurt the players, and vice versa. Needless to say most companies choose to (or are actually forced to) please the shareholders. The system is flawed at its roots.
I don't think this is fair at all. They want to make money above all else, typically that is going to hurt consumers, but idk how that makes them dumb. I think greedy and or even soulless would be more accurate
@@JuiceHead3 Expanding on this, investors are dumb when it comes to video games and what makes them enjoyable to consumers. They may even be dumb for many of the products and services they invest in. This is going be the truth unless they actually engage with the products and services they invest in. Let's be realistic here, in a few generations maybe a fair number of investors will actually engage in video games. Right now, I don't think that's the case. Because I think a large number of investors grew up before video gaming starting becoming mainstream. Even if they grew up while video games were becoming main stream, doesn't mean they ever got into it. With that said, you don't go to a plumber for a welder's job. Investors know how to make money off of investing. If they didn't they wouldn't be investors. They'd either be losers or in a different career. That's what know and that's what they are smart at. Unfortunately what has the potential for highest profit margins boils down to all of the bad stuff in video games. Cut costs, rise prices, change the monetary systems to extract more money (generally predatory or otherwise harmful to the experience), make systems that get people to engage with the new monetary systems. Everything that minimizes cost and maximizes profit. There is a simple triangle to help understand this. Cost - Time - Quality Can't ever have more than 2 and be a successful business. Businesses first find a balance in this or they fail. After they find their balance and succeed, it's either go public or don't (in regards to the stock market).
Cyberpunk has always been a great game. People stopped playing it coz of all the bad reviews it got during its release for the huge amount of bugs. It just needed a bit of polishing and bug fixes. And now, you will not see a player saying its bad. And the great part is it has so much potential coz of its futuristic theme so adding any amount of whacky stuff will still make sense and will be fun to play.
The costs where very high because it's a long term reputation investment especially when you think about these marketing costs that basically were saying "hey! We've fixed our game, ome and try it! We're still good!"
Some notes: 1. Your thumbnails are getting very racey, my man. What's up with that? 2. Wish they'd just stick to anime as opposed to live action - unless they can make something that's actually legit. But live action video game stuff tends to seem to be kind of... not good. 3. Phantom Liberty was great - even though it seems to have "not made enough money" right off of the bat. I think they recoup this over time given the good reviews, during sales and as people upgrade to the newer consoles. 4. If CDPR has learned their lesson from Cyberpunk then I am also very excited for the future.
Cyberpunk has become one of my all time favorite games. Loved the original, but Phantom Liberty is like a whole new game, it's insane! Keep it up CDPR. ❤
While I'm not at the company and i understand they want to grow but expanding into N America right now with the stock so low is a terrible move. Not to mention that CDPR will have to get more and more involved with political issues currently going on in N America which will just cause more division with its player base and cause its stock to fall even lower. Im not saying that im taking a side on this but rather concerned. Look what's happened to Blizzard and Activision the past few years. However i hope they hire some of the staff that lost their jobs at bioware because there are a lot of talented and skilled people over there that got shafted and they would fit perfectly into the style of games CDPR make. I also think the vast majority of the player base have forgiven the mess of the launch of 2077. They just better not pull that again otherwise they will be done i think.
Juice I want you to know I really appreciate the work you do. I’ve been following you since 2019 for fallout 4 mods and you’ve easily become my favourite source of news for all my favourite games. The effort in your videos is evident and your contribution to the gaming community is invaluable. Thank you so much for your videos and I’m glad you’ll be here with us for all our favourite games
You also have to take into account the price difference between The Witcher 3's expansions and phantom Liberty's. Granted, most people are always going to get them on sale (like right now with Phantom Liberty) but Phantom Liberty's "MSRP" so to speak is like 50% more expensive than both TW3's DLCs combined when they launched
Very interesting and exciting news coming out of that investor presentation. The future is looking promising for Cyberpunk and The Witcher as long as the devs are allowed to keep cooking in the studio. Also, the concept of RED 2.0 and devs being able to just play the game they helped develop(what a concept) and in real-time being able to spot various problems and bugs in the game is something all developers and publishers should be doing, especially the ones with way more longevity and money(* cough* EA and Ubisoft *cough*).
I mean we’re talking no less than a 5-10 year wait for even a hint of release date news for Project Orion, nevermind the actual release date 10-20 years from now.
So much things that got cut out from the original trailers that would’ve made more sense and cut content for for night city. Yet the game got the love it deserved and blossomed. Hopefully they add all that missed stuff into the new cyberpunk project.
Just thought of something. They Can Hire Literal Vets as Cyberware users, as the prop can be made as close to realistic as possible. Since the Mantis Blades could be within the actual prosthetic. And it gives work to Vets who may not have much opportunities. "Bless the Homeless Vets"
This seems like a great time to buy stock. All time high in 2020 was 31.00 its at 6.33. Given the things come down the pipeline… it could be worth it in 5 years
I honestly would really like it if CDPR would make an expansion to the game. I haven't beaten the storyline yet, but rolling out multiple expansions where we can further V's storyline post-main story would be amazing. PL I have yet to play, but it's really an extra side quest storyline from what I gather. Yes it can change the outcome of the main game, but honestly id rather see what comes next after the main story ends. I want more V, I want to continue the relationships V has built, I want more of all of it. I need more of all of it. Im already prepping myself to bawl my eyes out once I finish the main story (good thing I at least have all of the side quests I have yet to get done before finishing the main storyline).
It speaks volumes about the system we live in that taking care of your artistic vision and providing your costumers with the best game possible is a bad move according to the market and investors. The same that forced the game (and hurt it) into the mess that was its release.
Should not be a surprise that if CDPR worked hard on their game they get the high scores and the sales. That's what we wanted in the first place, a great game and we got a good scoop of it with Phantom Liberty. Now the game delivers and provides what we want. CDPR is making a lot of money now. I'm going to purchase the game now knowing all the endings. Why? Because the Night City world is awesome. Yes, CDPR is working hard on their chemistry. The world of Night City deserves more love and detailing. Right now I'm deeply happy with what CDPR achieved up to this point. The saved face.
I don't care what anyone says, if they ever want to do sequel there better be 3rd person. I'm not a normal guy as I have significant epileptic conditions and I can't stand 1st person fast movement.
man I feel like such a nerd because i'm recently getting into broadcast and audio visual work for the corporate side so one watching the broadcast makes me wish I could work on events like this, but understanding why the stock dropped and knowing that everyone is going to sell now and buy extremely low so when CDPR lets us know when that next hit comes out or any big announcements come out, investors will throw that money again. gotta remember that it's just game that these investors play.
Yes. JUST YES! EVERYTHING YES WITH CYBERPUNK! Before I've seen the Trailer for 2077 Years ago I didnt know I needed this so much. The Setting, the Story, the Vibes the Music etcetc..........
hoping by the time i get a ps5 pro or slim next year cdpr will have a rerelease of cyber punk with all updates DLC plus a sound track and the necklace from edge runners,
The stock prices go down because there isn't a proyect for at least the next 2 years and they arent a microtransactions company, so the most money make moment was the release of PL.
i bought cp77 on gog when it came out, been riding the train since. ive been so happy with ever update thats come out. to see the game evolve. enough though my pc played the game mint from day one. :) im so excited for the phantom liberty. (playing starfield at the moment lol)
It is important to note that stock price drops aren't always a bad thing. In fact, this may be the best time to start buying up CDPR shares. Stocks are speculative, it doesn't really represent anything too well. Even the right person saying a few words can make a stock price spike up or down.
RED 2.0's approach of making sure it's always playable is genuinely a great approach. Not only can basically anyone in the company act as a playtester, they can also get feedback on things that feel off / too weak / too strong to release a more balanced game for fans to experience, and get a fresh take on stuff from members of other teams. 10/10 idea imo
Glad to see that CDPR has seemed to learn some lessons from the mistakes on the launch of CP2077. I do like to see the marketing switching the marketing to the game being played instead of the usual over produced CGI Trailer. It'll be interesting to see what other products get spined off of Cyberpunk. I would not be surprised if we see graphic novels, more Netflix Series, and a full fledged Cyberpunk Movie in the coming years.
Stock price means nothing. Hedgefunds short the stock while simultaneously routing buys through dark pools thanks to the fact that they’re also their own market maker. Rigged.
Since update 2.1 I’ve had to download Phantom Liberty from the start menu every time I boot up cyberpunk. Anyone else having this problem? I’m on Series X
what a well crafted video. I will admit I played the 2.0 more than I have the original, all things considering I didnt have really any game breaking bugs on release on pc but it felt like a lesser gta clone. 2.0 made me fall back into long gaming sessions. That and edgerunners was so amazing and it made we want to play more and im a big anime fan so those 2 things just clicked for me. Im looking for more edgerunner anime. Im just sad how dirty they did becca and my david.
Yeah, loved Phantom Liberty. Played it non stop till I finshed. Then because of the update started the game from the start again and enjoyed it with so far 50 hrs of trying to complete every single mission. I hope they dont stop developing it! After playing this, GTA 6 is gonna have to be utterly amazing ;)
you could take a lot of individual aspects of the cyberpun universe and use them as focuses for entirely different movies/games/books/tv shows. like imagine a show similar to peaky blinders, but exclusively following an arasaka elite. Or a romance movie about a person falling in love with a doll. Or a documentary type show about a rockerboy and his band/exploits, with like jackass inspired stunts. the list really just keeps going. Heres to hoping the cyberpunk universe blows up like the star wars extended universe
Unfortunately, CP2077 and Phantom Liberty will probably be the last good products CDPR has released. Investors will push for an Assassin's Creed or COD model where you release the same game every year for a decade because that's what makes the most money.
Oh no! CDPR invested into game quality instead of returns for shareholding parasites! The horror!
FR. The stock market is just 💩
it’s quite literally just selling the news. ubisofts stock is down since ac mirage released too. happens every time any company releases anything

Yep, and I super agree with CDPR that new games are really the way forward with the franchise. One or two DLCs is always good but I would eventually get bored with CBP2077 if they did more than they already have. They need to explore new people's stories, and expand on the RPG elements, but this setting has an absolute boatload of potential for it.
I just got into lore videos from this world... I already knew there was a lot of potential, but after learning more about the world, I am blown away
I'm so glad that CDPR is making effort to really make this Cyberpunk stuff not just a game, but a whole franchise of stuff. They've got the books, songs, anime, toys, statues, etc. Continuing to expand on this is definitely a good move in my opinion. There's a ton to explore in this universe created back in the 80's.
In theory, they could even bring in some more witcher Easter eggs or a couple of side missions. Ciri in W3 spoke about all the worlds she saw and a couple sounded cyberpunkesque so we might could have missions about "a crazed swordswomen with impossible abilities" or something to that effect.
@christopherdark4671 the ciri part was very obviously talking about cyberpunk 2077s world not just any world
@pwnzlikeme I think it's obvious too, but she never flat out said "night city" or "arasaka" or anything that'd be a direct link. Cdpr could still try to worm out of an appearance/Easter egg by bullsh*tting us saying "well she never expressly said it, right?" Thus my non-committal previous remark.
I really do hope CDPR gets all the $ they need to make the games they want, and the games we need.
I hope for that too. But that's hard to do under an economic system where the only thing that matters is profit. Artists and game devs are forced to churn out market-friendly unfinished products often instead of thoughtful and well-polished products slowly.

I think the only way they can make enough for both upcoming games to be good would be to sell out to a publisher, but I'd hate for them to lose their identity. Hopefully things start looking up!
I could have said this back in the day but they have since shown potential to be ubisoft or EA so no, l would suggest a nice bit of skepticism. Clearly they arent messiahs as we initially thought. They arent Ubisoft tier aswell seeing with the effort put in fixing there mess. But still, they have shown potential of betraying trust for quick $. Much risk surrounds them after losing alot of goodwill. Have they redeemed themselves? l cant say
@@effyeadude Yeah just imagine what they can do with Star ciitzen funding? Likely not much since they have now essentially become a AAA dev studio. With there move to the US solidifying this fact. Even a billion dollars would be swallowed up by the now massive devpt costs there games are going to have. There love for using celebrities doesnt help this issue in anyway.
And that comes with all the issues we see with other AAA game studios (bugs, cut content, lack of polish etc) due to the companies focus being warped by the relentless desire to maximize profit.
I personally think they they would have done better by remaining a smaller down to earth studio. Games can have smaller scope but still be remarkable. Look at baldurs gate 3? Had they remained back in poland, limited the level of power they allowed the suites. I think they would be a beloved studio for years to come similar to Fromsoft. Money isnt it all. Elden ring was just 200m yet its one of the greatest games ever created.
@@effyeadudeI think the Live action project, if it's a show or whatever will help keep them going until their next release. Make profit from the live action thing then get more people to buy 2077+PL similar to what happened with the witcher

I cannot express how happy it makes me to see a dev team prioritize their long term development ability over returns to shareholders. Just hope it doesn’t kill them in the long run.
I really hope they keep investing in this universe and IP, it feels like there are many stories to be told in that world and most of us are hungry for more adventures in that world.
I agree. I think it is a waste of potential honestly to not fill the like 7+ years in between released games with at least some type of content?? It doesn't have to be huge mega expensive story stuff maybe just some additional repeatable activities or something like that at least?
They're already working on the 2nd game in the series
God. A live action Cyberpunk show... Let's all pray to the media gods that current Hollywood doesn't get their disgusting hands on the IP.
They'll do to CP77 what they've done to Star Wars, Castlevania: Nocturne, Lord of the Rings, and Cowboy Bebop.
Protect your IP CDPR.
F in the chat for The Witcher
we need a cast that is as dedicated to Cyberpunk as Cavill was to the Witcher.
It did not save it yes but without him the show would've sucked by a mile, so if we get a couple more people in the cast for this one who are like this then it could become a banger!
If anything, CDPR is the one that picks the studio and will keep close watch on it, just like Edgerunners, so there's 80% chance of it actually being good
dont forget Halo, newest season of Witcher, Death Note, Rampage, all the Resident Evils, Postal, Doom, Monster Hunter, Max Payne, Silent Hill....thats just off the top of my head.

now if only theyd make a less-shiny version for last gen. Feels like we were thrown in the trash cause we dont have 600 bucks to burn on a console :/
@@terragladeThat’s the sad reality of console gaming today. Xbox and Sony keep pumping out next gen consoles and game developers are forced to cater towards them because you have to future proof your games and company. Unless you have a specific reason to play on console, I recommend getting a decent pc. You can still play with your controller and the prices right now for a pc that can play most next gen games smoothly is the lowest it’s ever been, and if you pick the right parts, it’s easier to upgrade specific parts instead of buying a new console every time.
This is why you don't make your company public keep it private if you like making games.
CDPR had a horrible drop in reputation and sales by prioritizing profit over quality. Now they are investing in the mid to long term, which will pay more dividends, but the lack of immediacy repels investors. They want more money each year, with low production costs, like Activision. If this repels the short sighted and the impatient, I believe they will be all the stronger because of it.
@IronVaquero no, they are investors. That's exactly what investing has turned into over the last 20 years. There's almost no such thing as a long term investment now. Every single purchase is meant to be flipped as soon as possible.
You doin to much with them thumbnails
I truly hope things go well for CDPR I know the suits are pretty money hungry but they are a passionate studio and if given time and the resources they can make truly amazing stuff.
When I played Cyberpunk for the first time in 2020 and instantly loved it, I could have never hoped for this amount of content and attention. It's amazing
I absolutely love Cyberpunk. I just wish they had a new game plus option. That would definitely make replaying even better. Especially with the updated enemy levels to be on par with your own rather than having "level zones".
To be honest? enemy scaling is the single best feature from 2.0. Sure, you can become really overpowered at the endgame, but the game never turns braindead easy even on the hardest difficulty because enemies scale only to 30 or so.
I hope CDPR digs deeper into some of the weirder things in the setting. Stuff like posergangs, some of the most "pointless" implants people get like the arm pillow, and that sort of thing. I also hope it leads to good things for R. Talsorian Games and they didn't get just a one time licencing fee.

This goes to show that the stock market is just absolutely insane. The dlc is 30 and the sale is 3 million. If we go by steam cut of 30% that’s 60 million IN THE FIRST WEEK. They made half their cost this year in a week. Bonkers the lot of them.
Im excited for the sequel, but imagine how amazing the DLCs would've been if there was more than just one
please do
I think its unfortunate the change to unreal engine 5 since its the worst engine for mods and open world games
yeah...
Actually true, I've never heard of an Unreal 4 game with good moding support
True but if they make a very good base game I’d be happy enough.
but maybe that will change in the future, also maybe the reason why unreal games have terrible modding support is because no game was actually really worth the hassle? i don't really know how modding works, I've worked on creating video games before but I was a designer, not a dev so feel free to correct me or explain to me why it's bad and how it works
We don’t know that yet.
players and critics rate new dlc as massive success. Investors SELL SELL SELL.
what does this tell us? what players want is not what investors want. investors want to milk the players and players want good games.
So real. I get being apprehensive but also they've proven time and time again that they're dedicated to fixing the execs mess so idek
Being a public company sucks
@@manashield64 I have no idea and don't care
the first goal of any company is to make money, this is why they exist. CDPR learned the hard way that you don't make money by upsetting your customers.
@@xviii5780it’s not that it’s bad or good, it just completely changes the landscape of a company. Being a publicly traded company allows them to take the “potential” of there company, and drag it to the current day for it to be monetized. It’s simply another asset a company can leverage, how they leverage is up to them.
Being privately owned seems more transparent and morally correct, because the health of the company is solely derived from the product they sell. However… what if the product is bad (like CP2077 was at launch), one bad launch can destroy your company. Also, with leveraging stock, they might be able to merge with other companies, advertise more attractive employee benefits, get loans that they otherwise couldn’t, and declare losses to avoid paying taxes they were already going to pay. It could mean the downfall of a company, or it’s ascension to a hire level. The world you know today is built of the backs of Publicly Traded Companies, you can’t just say there bad lol.
If they develop the live action project and next game in tandem, that unlocks a ton of possibilities for not just consistency and workflows when they create set pieces and environments, but they’d be able to utilize the volume for filming in the same way modern Star Wars series do
Oh, I hope they make another Cyberpunk game. I've had so much fun playing 2077! The world setting is right up my ally and I would love to see more!
CDPR ''Orion'' :)
I think that CDPR and trigger could have changed their minds on edge-runners after seeing how popular and acclaimed it was. Perhaps since David is a streetkid, they can tell stories from the other life paths, corpo and nomad, with references to previous edgerunners events.
5:00 Holy mother of crit damage
THAT'S A LOT OF DAMAGE!
If I had a show that was in the same mood as True Detective S1 set in the Cyberounk universe, I would explode with enjoyment.
It's kind of weird they seem in such a hurry to move on to the next game now that everything seems to be working very well. I would think they would try to make money off of as many expansions as possible considering how expensive the game was to create in the first place and how much good-will they initially lost on release I really think they should do the no Man's sky thing and release more expansions rather than just moving on to Witcher 4 or whatever.
They really could make cyberpunk something to remember with a couple more expansions and maybe some additional repeatable endgame type content stuff like the car missions and air drops.
Apparently it's the problem with their engine. Even if the game is optimized now, every new set of code can cause major issues, bugs, glitches etc. They won't waste time and money on that, so they want to rapidly shift to UE5 (which means: new games).
Professional stock "analysts" are bigger shills than professional game or movie "critics". I wouldn't trust the sell rating.
Hopefully, this serves as a reminder to them, both the investors and CDPR top brass, to never rush a game's release. It takes time to create something beautiful. Imagine, if CB2077 was released today with all the bell's and whistles that 2.0 has and probably more, it could have been touted as one of the greatest games ever. No comeback stories or whatsoever, just straight up people and the critics praising this game. They could have charged extra on those "free dlcs" we got and people wouldn't mind paying because that's how great it is. Just happy that they own to their mistakes and given that it is a pricey one, one that is needed for a major wake up call. Hopefully in this decade before 2030 ends, we see something major from CDPR, witcher or cyberpunk.
I love seeing the renaissance the game is having. It deserves it, it was a Diamond in the rough back in 2020.
Imho, this would be the perfect time to invest in CDPR. 'Investors' have jumped the boat, making space for new long time investors who want to make some real eddies in the 5-10 years scope.
Not to mention, you can get shares at a considerable discount rn.
tbh financially its not a good decision, too much uncertainty and a very long time before you have any hope of returns.
Still disappointing to see though
I'm very sceptical about the NA offices. Sounds like a massive money drain and I doubt they can deliver the same quality
Honestly if we get a sort of black mirror/ Love Death + robots sort of show but as cyberpunk I would love that so much. Not exactly a whole series focusing on just one crew/cast but maybe several different stories colliding at different times. Either way after seeing their ability to write stories that seem to wring out emotions and their music scores I believe they'll pull it off with flying colors.
I feel like something akin to Star Wars Visions could work out well, an anthology series possibly in cooperation with multiple studios that tell self-contained stories in the Cyberpunk universe.
The most important thing is that the game is fun to play, I mean despite the fact that I didn't have as many issues as some people had on PS4 I still clocked over 150 hours in that version before I switched to PC and the PS5, and I am very hesitant with first person games because I get motionsick. The fact that they focus is on the game itself being playable early on means great things because all they need to do is fill it with assets, content and make sure all every T is crossed and I dotted. The most concerning thing is the live action content, that will _always_ be concerning.
From their reputational perspective they shouldn’t have launched on the PS4, but considering it was impossible to get a PS5 for so long, I think many who owned a PS4 and couldn’t afford or get anything else got to enjoy the game. As the story was equally good on any platform. They should have maybe been upfront with a refund policy on it and had a warning that it’s not PS4 optimised so “buy it but get a refund if you don’t like it”.
@@pressrepeat2000 I dunno. I mean for the most part there's nothing about the game that couldn't be done on PS4 any less that any other open world game. The open world, the missions, the combat all worked to a degree. I think the problem was just they didn't spend the time bug testing and ironing out certain sharp edges. Sure I couldn't get a PS5 for years, but I had a PC, not the strongest it runs the game at 45-50fps at custom settings, but I didn't consider switching to it until they started changing things about the engine that requires more or faster RAM like upgrading the NPC ai and in the end it was the bugs introduced by the _patches_ that made me switch. Even 2.0 has a few quirks that we forgive and if it had run that well no one would have freaked out. In the end the free upgrade from PS4 to PS5 once I got one made things right. I didn't want a refund I just wanted to play the _game._
I think there's a part glossed over on the 100 mil for phantom liberty. It included the costs for 2.0 update. Which the level of work done for the revamp, is undoubtedly a significant part of cost. Breaking that down due to the large overlap for accounting purposes would be difficult. Still not ideal but it definitely changes how that should be looked at.
The drop in share price make perfect sense and is certainly NOT about being "punished for investing in quality" as some way too cynical people put it. They're being punished for not being able to stick to their own budgets and for investing and expanding extremely heavily into a very risky future where no other project seem to even close to completion. Investors now have very little to properly gauge that future on for CDPR other than what CDPR is saying about it. Remember all things they said about Cyberpunk 2077 original? They have NOT delivered on that in terms of game or investments.
Investing in CDPR right now is very high risk even long term. There is no guarantee their next big release whenever it come out will be good enough and certainly not cost effective enough. Their track record right now is not impressive. The original cyberpunk was a complete disaster and now they going way over budget. The stock market is simply adjusting a more fair valuation of the company given the extreme high risk environment video gaming is.
Remember gamers you not the only ones that was fooled by the hype.
Really surprising that cdpr is tanking in the stock market,
Phantom liberty is a masterpiece and I’ll argue that it’s actually UNDER PRICED when it comes to how much content you’re getting!
I wouldn't say it's underprice considering it cost the same as BaW and HoS combined and the actual price is 50 percent of the base game
A perfect example of why the customers (players) and the shareholders are not the same target groups, sometimes they actually may have opposite targets. Meaning, is many cases if the company wants to please stakeholders, it has to hurt the players, and vice versa. Needless to say most companies choose to (or are actually forced to) please the shareholders. The system is flawed at its roots.
Most investors are idiots anyways..their buy/sell mentality is just absurd sometimes.
no its not, they make tons of cash they know what they're doing, us meanwhile remain broke
Most fishers are idiots anyways.. their catch/release mentality is absurd sometimes.
I don't think this is fair at all. They want to make money above all else, typically that is going to hurt consumers, but idk how that makes them dumb. I think greedy and or even soulless would be more accurate
They have millions of $. Sure because they are idiots 🤦♂
@@JuiceHead3 Expanding on this, investors are dumb when it comes to video games and what makes them enjoyable to consumers. They may even be dumb for many of the products and services they invest in.
This is going be the truth unless they actually engage with the products and services they invest in.
Let's be realistic here, in a few generations maybe a fair number of investors will actually engage in video games. Right now, I don't think that's the case. Because I think a large number of investors grew up before video gaming starting becoming mainstream.
Even if they grew up while video games were becoming main stream, doesn't mean they ever got into it.
With that said, you don't go to a plumber for a welder's job. Investors know how to make money off of investing. If they didn't they wouldn't be investors. They'd either be losers or in a different career. That's what know and that's what they are smart at.
Unfortunately what has the potential for highest profit margins boils down to all of the bad stuff in video games. Cut costs, rise prices, change the monetary systems to extract more money (generally predatory or otherwise harmful to the experience), make systems that get people to engage with the new monetary systems.
Everything that minimizes cost and maximizes profit.
There is a simple triangle to help understand this.
Cost - Time - Quality
Can't ever have more than 2 and be a successful business. Businesses first find a balance in this or they fail. After they find their balance and succeed, it's either go public or don't (in regards to the stock market).
Cyberpunk has always been a great game. People stopped playing it coz of all the bad reviews it got during its release for the huge amount of bugs. It just needed a bit of polishing and bug fixes. And now, you will not see a player saying its bad. And the great part is it has so much potential coz of its futuristic theme so adding any amount of whacky stuff will still make sense and will be fun to play.
Cdpr is taking risk in spite of investers this could be really good for gaming or really bad, time will tell
good game = long term profit so hopefully good

Huge update to Panams jugs
The costs where very high because it's a long term reputation investment especially when you think about these marketing costs that basically were saying "hey! We've fixed our game, ome and try it! We're still good!"
so CDPR went the way of N.america and ESG in other wards they are dead. should have remained a good old eastern European company
Misses half his shots the entire time then drops a 1m dmg crit out of nowhere xD 5:08
i feel like setting up offices in and hiring people from north america is a terrible idea. the talent is lackluster and the costs are insane.
Love the thumbnail image video, all I can see are the huge updates on Panam 😅
Some notes:
1. Your thumbnails are getting very racey, my man. What's up with that?
2. Wish they'd just stick to anime as opposed to live action - unless they can make something that's actually legit. But live action video game stuff tends to seem to be kind of... not good.
3. Phantom Liberty was great - even though it seems to have "not made enough money" right off of the bat. I think they recoup this over time given the good reviews, during sales and as people upgrade to the newer consoles.
4. If CDPR has learned their lesson from Cyberpunk then I am also very excited for the future.
Cyberpunk has become one of my all time favorite games. Loved the original, but Phantom Liberty is like a whole new game, it's insane! Keep it up CDPR. ❤
While I'm not at the company and i understand they want to grow but expanding into N America right now with the stock so low is a terrible move. Not to mention that CDPR will have to get more and more involved with political issues currently going on in N America which will just cause more division with its player base and cause its stock to fall even lower. Im not saying that im taking a side on this but rather concerned. Look what's happened to Blizzard and Activision the past few years. However i hope they hire some of the staff that lost their jobs at bioware because there are a lot of talented and skilled people over there that got shafted and they would fit perfectly into the style of games CDPR make. I also think the vast majority of the player base have forgiven the mess of the launch of 2077. They just better not pull that again otherwise they will be done i think.
I fear the same, setting shop in NA would be a mistake.
@@rickycool6083Glad I am not the only worried about their NA expansion. Right now, the gaming industry on this side of the pond is an absolute mess.

You also have to take into account the price difference between The Witcher 3's expansions and phantom Liberty's. Granted, most people are always going to get them on sale (like right now with Phantom Liberty) but Phantom Liberty's "MSRP" so to speak is like 50% more expensive than both TW3's DLCs combined when they launched
Devs, "Hey we patch some things, nothing big."
UA-camrs, "THE BIGGEST FUCKING UPDATE OF THE FUCKING MILLENIUM AGAIN FOR THE 100TH TIME THIS YEAR"
Very interesting and exciting news coming out of that investor presentation. The future is looking promising for Cyberpunk and The Witcher as long as the devs are allowed to keep cooking in the studio. Also, the concept of RED 2.0 and devs being able to just play the game they helped develop(what a concept) and in real-time being able to spot various problems and bugs in the game is something all developers and publishers should be doing, especially the ones with way more longevity and money(* cough* EA and Ubisoft *cough*).
i rly hope the witcher game is more focused on the rpg mecanics,make your own character and have more character building options
This sheds light onto the inverse relationship between stock success and actual game success.
I mean we’re talking no less than a 5-10 year wait for even a hint of release date news for Project Orion, nevermind the actual release date 10-20 years from now.
Witcher being established ruined this game introduction
Impossible challenge, find a thumbnail made by this dude without a hot girl as bait in it. Literally every video is like this
hearing that there just might be more edgerunners( potentially based upon project Orion) fills me with indescribable joy
So much things that got cut out from the original trailers that would’ve made more sense and cut content for for night city. Yet the game got the love it deserved and blossomed.
Hopefully they add all that missed stuff into the new cyberpunk project.
Started a new playthrough with 2.0. Loving every second of it.
Just thought of something.
They Can Hire Literal Vets as Cyberware users, as the prop can be made as close to realistic as possible.
Since the Mantis Blades could be within the actual prosthetic.
And it gives work to Vets who may not have much opportunities.
"Bless the Homeless Vets"
I need the side gig bugs to be fixed so I can 100% the game.
This seems like a great time to buy stock. All time high in 2020 was 31.00 its at 6.33.
Given the things come down the pipeline… it could be worth it in 5 years
Oh good, it's not just me that can't drive the Hoon 😅
I honestly would really like it if CDPR would make an expansion to the game. I haven't beaten the storyline yet, but rolling out multiple expansions where we can further V's storyline post-main story would be amazing. PL I have yet to play, but it's really an extra side quest storyline from what I gather. Yes it can change the outcome of the main game, but honestly id rather see what comes next after the main story ends. I want more V, I want to continue the relationships V has built, I want more of all of it. I need more of all of it. Im already prepping myself to bawl my eyes out once I finish the main story (good thing I at least have all of the side quests I have yet to get done before finishing the main storyline).
It speaks volumes about the system we live in that taking care of your artistic vision and providing your costumers with the best game possible is a bad move according to the market and investors. The same that forced the game (and hurt it) into the mess that was its release.
Should not be a surprise that if CDPR worked hard on their game they get the high scores and the sales. That's what we wanted in the first place, a great game and we got a good scoop of it with Phantom Liberty. Now the game delivers and provides what we want.
CDPR is making a lot of money now. I'm going to purchase the game now knowing all the endings. Why? Because the Night City world is awesome. Yes, CDPR is working hard on their chemistry. The world of Night City deserves more love and detailing. Right now I'm deeply happy with what CDPR achieved up to this point. The saved face.
I don't care what anyone says, if they ever want to do sequel there better be 3rd person. I'm not a normal guy as I have significant epileptic conditions and I can't stand 1st person fast movement.
Edgerunners was first announced way back in June 2020 during the first NIght City Wire episode not 2022. 2022 got its first trailer.
Thanks for explaining what happened with the stock price!
man I feel like such a nerd because i'm recently getting into broadcast and audio visual work for the corporate side so one watching the broadcast makes me wish I could work on events like this, but understanding why the stock dropped and knowing that everyone is going to sell now and buy extremely low so when CDPR lets us know when that next hit comes out or any big announcements come out, investors will throw that money again. gotta remember that it's just game that these investors play.
Yes. JUST YES! EVERYTHING YES WITH CYBERPUNK! Before I've seen the Trailer for 2077 Years ago I didnt know I needed this so much. The Setting, the Story, the Vibes the Music etcetc..........
hoping by the time i get a ps5 pro or slim next year cdpr will have a rerelease of cyber punk with all updates DLC plus a sound track and the necklace from edge runners,
The stock prices go down because there isn't a proyect for at least the next 2 years and they arent a microtransactions company, so the most money make moment was the release of PL.
LOL setting up offices in Boston and Vancouver is insane. Those cities are some of the most expensive cities in North America.
i bought cp77 on gog when it came out, been riding the train since. ive been so happy with ever update thats come out. to see the game evolve. enough though my pc played the game mint from day one. :) im so excited for the phantom liberty. (playing starfield at the moment lol)
It is important to note that stock price drops aren't always a bad thing. In fact, this may be the best time to start buying up CDPR shares. Stocks are speculative, it doesn't really represent anything too well. Even the right person saying a few words can make a stock price spike up or down.
Blokes really driving home those Panam thirst trap thumbnails
RED 2.0's approach of making sure it's always playable is genuinely a great approach. Not only can basically anyone in the company act as a playtester, they can also get feedback on things that feel off / too weak / too strong to release a more balanced game for fans to experience, and get a fresh take on stuff from members of other teams. 10/10 idea imo
Glad to see that CDPR has seemed to learn some lessons from the mistakes on the launch of CP2077. I do like to see the marketing switching the marketing to the game being played instead of the usual over produced CGI Trailer. It'll be interesting to see what other products get spined off of Cyberpunk. I would not be surprised if we see graphic novels, more Netflix Series, and a full fledged Cyberpunk Movie in the coming years.
Cyberpunk is my game of the year, two years in a row. Nothing compares to this day.
Phantom Liberty is better than the whole of Starfield.
Hopefully there are still plans for a Complete edition of 2077.
Stock price means nothing. Hedgefunds short the stock while simultaneously routing buys through dark pools thanks to the fact that they’re also their own market maker. Rigged.
3 million is $119,000,000 USD in sales (I know platforms take their cut but that's right now.) It's still early in Phantom Liberty's life.
Since update 2.1 I’ve had to download Phantom Liberty from the start menu every time I boot up cyberpunk. Anyone else having this problem? I’m on Series X
Patiently waiting for 3rd person view.. would love to see my character, and or random 3rd person view finisher. :)
what a well crafted video. I will admit I played the 2.0 more than I have the original, all things considering I didnt have really any game breaking bugs on release on pc but it felt like a lesser gta clone. 2.0 made me fall back into long gaming sessions. That and edgerunners was so amazing and it made we want to play more and im a big anime fan so those 2 things just clicked for me. Im looking for more edgerunner anime. Im just sad how dirty they did becca and my david.
Yeah, loved Phantom Liberty. Played it non stop till I finshed. Then because of the update started the game from the start again and enjoyed it with so far 50 hrs of trying to complete every single mission. I hope they dont stop developing it! After playing this, GTA 6 is gonna have to be utterly amazing ;)
How did you play the expansion before the update...?
Why'd it drop in shares? I'm so confused, isn't this game selling well? Lots of people buying phantom liberty?
If I could I would love to put stock it. If it is dropping I know I would not regret it.
you could take a lot of individual aspects of the cyberpun universe and use them as focuses for entirely different movies/games/books/tv shows. like imagine a show similar to peaky blinders, but exclusively following an arasaka elite. Or a romance movie about a person falling in love with a doll. Or a documentary type show about a rockerboy and his band/exploits, with like jackass inspired stunts. the list really just keeps going.
Heres to hoping the cyberpunk universe blows up like the star wars extended universe
