if you post anything CHECK the facts: Więcek, Mocarski, Blacha and Muraszkiewicz ( my own info ) are still in CDPR. Telling half the truth is also a LIE. All names in Ln to check.
@vinniepooh5083their Ln accounts are still pointing to this company, so how the hell someone can not simply check ? I understand all "the mess" arond CDPR and "C4" aka "W4" but still, screenshot posted is simply not truth and Author is "somewhat" missing this part. Last "excell credits" also are correct with Ln account data so why posting false info in the first place ? to get "likes" ? Dislike from me.
@@scgstudio I feel you. Maybe he'll read that and give you an answer. I don't know, either way, it was on purpose or by mistake. Maybe RW already has them on their team and the LN hasn't been updated, or he has other information. Not that I'm trying to justify anything, but now I'm curious and wondering myself - and do my own check. But I get it.
Regarding Blacha, if you look at the spreadsheet, you can see his new studio still says "CDPR" and tenure "Active". And I wasn't sure about Mocarski, hence the "?". Because I had those name copied on my spreadsheet from the PS5 Gamers Post. Initially I wanted to check those names, but half way through, I decided I'd rather check Rebel Wolves employees on Linkedin, when I ran into cases like blach and mocarski, hence Wiecek missing from my spreadsheet. I forgot to remove those names from my spreadsheet when I finalized it. there is also Ewa Stiller who didn't directly work for CDRP, but she worked for GOG for 6 years, which is owned by CDRP. YES, that's a mistake on my part, I recognize that, but hope this clears things up.
@@fifibombelek all is good. If topic is hot, everything has tendency for overreaction ;) But still, posting a tweet ( Xeet ? ) with false data and not commenting on it as "not entirely valid data anymore" is a mistake which can be used against you as "drama fuel to keep drama".
Look at the roles these people had- game director, quest director, lead writer... these are the people responsible for making the witcher 3's story and world as good as it is.
Rotation is a normal thing in the game industry? Still many people that had worked on witcher 3, are still working in CDPR, best example is Sebastian Kalemba which is game director for W4, and he has been with cdpr since 2013. You don't know what are you talking about
That's one lead who stayed. The lead quest designer, story board, project lead, etc have left. So the ops response is valid. Most of the head talent has left, yes rotation is normal but when you see rebel wolves have a majority of those leads that left, kinda makes your point mute. Rotation in small numbers is normal. Swaping over 60% of your leads is not.
it's funny because you guys don't even know what a game director is, how good these are and how they contributed to w3, but you still vouch for them just because they existing without even comparing to the ones that exist in cdpr today or simply stayed
Witcher 3 was released almost 10 years ago. So what we're even talking about? I'm more into comparing devs that worked on cyberpunk(2020) and phantom liberty(2023) to whos actually are working now on W4.
Ciri being the main character isn't the problem. Retconning her into a knock off Geralt instead of the unique and powerful character she originally was is the problem. The lame writing to justify her becoming a run of the mill witcher is the problem. Blaming the fans is the problem. Forcing the actual talent out to create 2 competing companies is probably going to be a major problem. As a former customer my problem is probably going to be buying too many games from competitors.
Yep, the company's politics and attitude are the problem - that's why I won't trust the team that is making W4. In a Cyberpunk world, DEI and progressivism fit more - but not in a dark, medieval-like fantasy.
Tbh I think Ciri being the protagonist is a problem. I don't mind a game with Ciri as the protagonist. But not a witcher game. I don't want to play a full length RPG as a female character. It takes the fun out of hunting for different cool looking armors, and it completely takes the fun out of the romance options out (As a straight guy). If you are woman then I'm guessing this is probably great for you. But for me the witcher games felt a bit like the 007 movies in a game. You played as a playboy sort of guy who happened to be deadly in a fight, and it felt like something that wasn't trying to be kid friendly. But having a female protagonist... that just takes a lot of that fun out of the equation. If they made another game with Ciri as the lead, that would be fine, but I don't want to play an entire full length witcher game as her. She wasn't that interesting a character to begin with. Its really geralt that made the story so interesting for me.
just wait, go woke go broke. these games always flop because the people who work on it arent talented, they just get hired because if racism and normalphobia
@@fifibombelek Well, it's a darn good game - an absolute masterpiece of medieval grit and realism. Play it, and you'll feel like you’ve been dropped into the middle of a brutal, blood-soaked epic where every swing of the sword tells a story. Don’t let the combat system throw you off - it’s fresh, it’s different, but trust me, it’s something you can master with a little grit and patience. Don't forget about "Instant Herb Picking" mod - you will need it - but it's the only one little thing.
@@fifibombelek The first time I booted up KCD, it was like walking straight into another world - same damn thrill I felt when I first rode with Witcher 1, 2, and 3 - well, maybe not W1 but still. This wasn’t just some game. Nice story, no BS and no censorship.
@@fifibombelek its not perfect but its one of my favorite games. Combat is tricky but when you pull off some good moves its rewarding. Considering its their first big game is also impressive. Cant wait for the sequel , im hoping they improved it in every way.
@@fifibombelek Yes. It is a great game. The combat takes some figuring out though, so I recommend hanging around the rattay practice area just past the intro segment for a bit if you decide to play it. You start as a complete nobody, both as the character and as the player. The journey to becoming badass is the best part about the game. I just spent forever roaming the world, fighting bandits and mercs, looting and killing my way to the top of the food chain. Doing most of the sidequests, and then returning to the main story as omegachad. At some point you get so good you can literally fist your way through the rattay tourney, or take a casually stroll into pre-battle pribyslavitz. Fun times. x'D
Lmao. Rebel Wolves didn't create anything yet. What's more is that those guys are responsible for Cyberpunk 2077 initial release. The new people that came to CDPR they had fix the game and they created amazing Phantom Liberty. So why you put so much faith in Rebel Wolves.
Ciri doing witcher work is not a problem. Ciri being an actual witcher is a massive problem. The process and limitations of making someone a witcher is pretty well established. And witcher Ciri absolutely wrecks this established lore. Anyway, it's too early to tell after only one trailer, the game might turn out to be good, but I'm not at all optimistic.
THANK YOU! Ciri being a witcher is a massive red flag. On top of this, people behind the game are activists, so I don't need to see or play a game to know it will be 100hrs+ of lectures about how men are bad and women have it rough
I immediately had a bad feeling when I saw her eyes. I wouldn't have minded if she was doing a witcher's work. I don't mind if she takes the title of witcheress. But the established process of how witchers are made is VERY rigid and it's very damaging to the lore of the games. Gross. Not excited.
I already warned my friends to hold off getting Witcher 4. They at first laughed that CDPR "can't be woke because they are polish studio". Oh, that's not how it works...
@@Inquisitor_Lelouch Warsaw is the hub of western politics and ideology and all what's "progressive", same as Poznan. It's very easy to spot colorful hairstyles there, same as "progressive" graffiti or posters, events etc. Not much different from other big western cities.
Meh. Many people if not the majority never cared for her so much as wanting to play a whole game as her. Though the percentage is impossible to measure, so nothing can reliably support or deny my claim.
@LegsON i actually agree that not many cared for Ciri that much, but with good gameplay and writing that could be solved. Making her Femralt is not the solution still. You may as well just do nothing and let 3 be the last game.
There is another studio founded by other devs that left CDPR, it's called BLANK. Game Studios, it's founders are Mateusz Kanik, Jędrzej Mróz and Mikołaj Marchewka
That's so funny what you are saying, because the latest game CDPR released was awesome also very good dlc Phantom Liberty(2023), and then you watch some random youtube video, and then like, YES this company is done, no more good games from them. Like you haven't even seen their next product. You are so easy to manipulate, it's so saaaaaaaaaaad XD
@@Bloczek7940 DEI has already killed more than one development team, good examples of this are Bioware and Dragon Age The Veilguard. Then we got this cringe fest of garbage identified as Dragon Age. Being a mindless consumer without expectations, who buys political garbage, is what's sad.
@@sirato7058 Witcher 4 hasn't been even released? You know what im sayin'? You are obsessed with DEI WOKE shit etc, and you are already making a statement that this game will be trash and so on. Please make up your mind after release of the game. Then you can say "They won't see a single penny of me again." Your behaviour right now is so gaaaay
I have the Witcher books and as a fan of the books I consider the first 3 games as a good ending to the series where The Witcher 3 ends the stories of Ciri and Geralt who can finally rest... the creators probably don't know, don't understand and don't care what Ciri's story was about and why there are no female witchers and also why Geralt would never let Ciri undergo mutations.. it's idiotic and shits on the entire Witcher lore and as a loyal fan of the series I distance myself from CDPR and don't consider this game as The Witcher Bro im so fucking tired...Star wars, Rings of Power, Now even Black Snape, Dragon Age Veilguard...everything I like is being destroyed by mentally ill people ah yes next is Woke Efffect 5 from WokeWare lets goooo lets destroy everything people love I have to stop watching UA-cam because lately I've been hearing worse and worse news
At least YTubers will give you a warning before you buy instead getting betrayed by CDPR with the story and your wallet taking a hit. Now you don’t have to waste 70 bucks finding out.
@@italoviturino6386 Yes. They do it since 2018. Like why it became problem now? It is conspiracy, those youtubers just trying to get views out of it. Also did you even read their statement about it or you just saw heading "Inclusion & Diversity" and didnt even bother. Cause thats called research, articles and ytbers definitely dont know what it is.
None of this DEI prioritization would matter if it was not accompanied by placeholder appointments. People inserted into positions without merit. Look at CDPR Cian Maher, now creative director of W4. An ESG placeholder appointment from April 2023 with a track record most famous as a game 'journalist' defending the Witcher Netflix disaster. CDPR is cooked.
CDPR had evidence of being woke since the release of Cyberpunk, the questline where you help a trans woman win races has been in the game since the start, this questline also canonized the trans flag as its on the back of the trans woman's truck the whole point of the game was to be a corpo dystopia with messed up politics but the game gives us a trans sob story, how do they not see the irony???
If I remember correctly Ciri is more powerful than Geralt because of Elder blood. The problem isn't that she will the protagonist of the next game is that she got nerfed to a Witcher. If CDPR change the title to "Witcher: Elder Blood", "Witcher: Ciri" or "Elder Blood" that would be the most fitting game title than "Witcher 4" because she can't be a Witcher. Instead they focused on Ciri being the NEW Witcher even if the Trial of the grasses is already gone. To be honest I don't mind her being the new Protagonist the problem is that WHY is she the Witcher if she's more Powerful than THE WITCHER(Geralt) itself. Fans got triggered because that.
Quick question: Are you Polish? If you are, you can sue CDPR for discrimination. I believe you can do it at no charge to you. The EU makes it illegal to discriminate based on gender.
You know that will never work as long as it benefits women or "marginalized" groups. Then they will always turn a blind eye to it and claim its not discriminatory at all.
@fifibombelek I live in America, so I can't do anything. I don't know if it is possible to sue CDPR from different countries in the EU. It is something to look into. Thank you for your videos.
When you get a sore throat and a runny nose chances are very high that you got a cold. Anyone who then tells you how those things mean nothing and that you should ignore them doesn't have your best interests at heart. The way Ciri looks and acts? That's a sore throat. The way lore had to be changed to enable her role? That's a runny nose. Those have now become standard symptoms of "wokeness" and 19 times out of 20 these symptoms have accurately predicted the illness.
Gaming is f'ed. Just a never ending pride parade now. CDPR was totally different when they made their witcher games. What is this need to go out of their way with rainbow flags and menstrual leave etc. It's just weird and toxic. No wonder CDPR and Bioware developers left and made their own studios. I hope Rebel Wolves and Archetype (Exodus) really make it.
Even some of the main brains of witcher 3 and cyberpunk 2077 had enough of cdpr's woke bullshits and left cdpr and opened their own new studio called "BLANK"
@theobell2002 blank is making a post apocalyptic story driven game. It is invested with neowiz, publisher of lies of p. Just admit that u didn't know a thing
3:00 correction, you have seen too much :D :D :D But yeah, it does not look good for CDPR. I did the same and defended the trailer and the company, and still do to a degree, but with all of the things that have been revealed, and especially with Rebel Wolves going forward, having key figures from CDPR on board, it is very likely that Witcher 4 will be a slop. I'm still holding out hope we are wrong, but for the moment it doesn't seem like it.
As a fan of the witcher games, I do want CDPR to succeed and prove us all wrong, the same way they did with cyberpunk 2077 and the witcher 3 (it was also a mess on release). Well, not literally, I don't want them to release a broken ass game and fix it down the line, but I think you get my point. I came a realization that all this outcry stems from the fact that we hold so much love for the franchise and so it makes sense that people are mad. Whether you're on the excited side or disappointed side, I don't think you're wrong.
@fifibombelek Indeed. I hope they succeed, but I remain somewhat skeptical. Too many times blind faith has caused me grief with games, movies or TV shows. We'll see when the gameplay trailer comes out and fingers crossed.
It doesn't matter if TW4 ends up being a "good game", because they have infected it with political bias and disguising it as "art". It's not art, it's indoctrination. There are plenty of good games out there that isn't infected by this bias I would rather support instead. I don't want to give CDPR my money for TW4 because that would only encourage them to keep DEI and political agendas in their games.
Menstrual leave should be something that's present in every company though. Some women can barely walk while on their period so this is something really good.
Next video will be like "The Witcher 4 will have people in the game! This is woke! My new favorite studio is "NoNames111" who didn't release anything yet!"

Ubisoft having the same issue and soon it looks like the end of that video game company. They need to realise that you can’t go against the fans wishes
For me it's as simple as they changed Ciri too much. She looks way different (significantly uglier) and her voice actor is different as well. Nothing is the same about her except her name and I really have no interest playing as Ciri when her character has been changed so drastically
Actually surprises me why there was no GTA like game for many years. Considering how insanely popular it is. In times of GTA 3-4 there were many GTA-likes out. Someone should really make such games now. It doesn't need to be AAAA with super expensive cutscenes, animations and actor work on every corner. I'm fine with it having no animation and no voice acting at all, and not having heavy "realistic" graphics, I just want it to be fun and interesting.
13yrs of avaerage working time seems to be wrong. @ 6:50. From my calculations it is 212/29=7,3 years/person average. I didnt count the 3 people out of 32, because I didn't see data for years of work of those people.
History is going in circles, same fears were after W1 release, most of CDPR devs changed studio. I've gathered quite some info about CDPR state and weirdly enough, it's actually better than it seems. CDPR was "woke" even before this term got it's popularity, since they joined stock exchange market in 2010, they were fighting for good ratings. Sadly those require "leftism". Though in past "nobody" knew them so people didn't gave a single damn about that. Those woke, DEI, ESG, etc. devs patched-up cyberpunk to quite a solid state, not to mention they've created Phantom Liberty expansion, which is fricking amazing IMO. Fun fact: There's more devs working on W4, that worked on W3. Than W1 or W2 devs that also worked on W3. Anyway fifi, if you want some cool info regarding CDPR and W4 that hasn't yet been covered anywhere on UA-cam, then give me a more direct way to contact you than this comment section. because there's a lot. Btw. I find it interesting how polish folk go against their own CDPR (100% polish company) and 3rd biggest polish stock company (check WIG20), yet cheer for Rebel Wolves, whom are financed by china and their publisher is Japanese. As for gamers, they should be happy AF. We're getting: - Witcher 4 - by CDPR - Blood of the Dawnwalker - by Rebel Wolves - Witcher 1 remake - by Fool's Theory - Unnanounced "Witchery" project - by Elsewhere Entertainment
It's the gradual moving away. The lost of work ethic already apparent in Cyper punk release. Then more the portrayal of girls boss in. Then lesbians and gay. They tried to push woke content subtly but failed. Panam is the most popular heroin by FAR. Thus now they intent to push the woke harder. It doesn't change what you should do anyway. Wait for reliable review, and buy base on review. But I'm sure this is the Witcher that will flop and end the series. China and Japanese unironically are those that promote healthy environment for creative work. Especially Japan.
If Phantom Libterty's writing is a sign of things to come, then you can write CDPR off entirely. The story lead on that expac was hot garbage and ran it like the worst parts of the main game, not the best. Railroading and willfully ignorant MC make for a piss poor story. Add the terrible performance issues in Dogtown to the mix, the fact that most "new" things in the post-PL patches outside of Dogtown are literally just stolen mods implemented without credit and you have a disaster in the making that plays like half of it was made by unpaid interns.
I don't talk about beliefs and opinions, because those aren't factual. Your belief isn't bigger than anybody else. What I talk about is numbers and concrete data. For example that's why I talk about sales and mass reputation. It's obvious you can't create a game that will suit everybody - as simple as that. And if you aim to make something for everybody, then it's bleak and shallow and good for nobody. There are people who hated Witcher 3 for story, gameplay and many other reasons. There are folk who love it for same reasons. Same thing with Cyberpunk. If you check for Phantom Liberty critique videos on UA-cam - most of them are HIGHLY positive. So basically you're in minority. I try my best to look from every side. Gather information from whole spectrum of information and materials (positive and negative and neutral), as all sides have valid arguments. Then I verify what I can (you'd be surprised how many lies, missed context and half-truths are spoken as irrefutable facts) - and my conclusion is that CDPR is in good condition. I've data to prove it, yet I'm not going to argue about it. Haters gonna hate and it's a waste of each other time. If you've got convinced already that CDPR is a flop, you won't change your mind whatever I'll present you. That's human nature, most people react that way. This is the same reason why so many people believe Earth is flat. If you want to notice stuff, you'll do it subconsciously - happens in everyday life - that's scientifically proven and it's stronger than you think. Anyway if you believe Rebel Wolves is your gaming salvation, then let it be. Stay tuned and positive friends :)
@@driv3ver Nobody cares about the company beyond how it affects the end product. And right now, your end product ain't lookin' too good. Personally, I wouldn't invest in CDPR. Why? Because I just saw what happened to Ubisoft and I'm more than aware what a poorly constructed story means for a narratively interactive experience. CDPR's current story director is an idiot. And that is all that matters for the end product, because CDPR is making an RPG and an RPG with an incoherent story will do one or both of two things: 1) Flop 2) Irreparably damage the brand
@@maxgehtdnixan4913 You're entitled to your opinion and I don't see anything wrong in that. I won't argue with you :) Funny thing is, if W3 would've been released now - it would receive a lot hate too. Same product - different opinions. Witcher 3 breaks a lot of lore. Just as all previous CDPR games did, according to A. Sapkowski's books. It's full of what people would call now woke agenda with gays, lesbians, sexism, trans and empowered woman characters. Would you be so kind to tell me which CDPR employee do you cite as "an idiot"?
Get your ship and explore the ocean maybe you will fall upon a treasure and find the game for free. I am against that kind of stuffs normally, but at this point almost none of those that made that game great are left in the company, so why spend money on that game?
I do not think that most of the people will care about lore, it is a fiction so anything can be considered as a fan fiction like Shadow of the Mordor was. Anyway not going to preorder the game, gonna wait for reviews
A lot of these studios are just name, the people that made them famous are long gone... Sadly a lot of us don't take the time to research this stuff. "Big" reviewers are also in this crap so you can't look for a simple objective opinion if a game is fun or not... It all comes down to the people, the real gamers who want to play good games, and their word of mouth.
A lot of people don't know about CDPR because the company doesn't advertise their ESG and DEI practices outside of their website. And not many gamers visit websites of the studios, and really read into the small print. I believe tons of defenders of CDPR and their current decisions are doing it simply because they don't have the full picture :) As for Ciri, to me it doesn't matter that she is the protagonist. It was the obvious choice. The problem is that they made her into Geralt with boobs. An angry, judgemental Geralt with boobs. I understand character development, and the fact that the game takes place few years after Witcher 3. But this is not a very good, well thought out change. It reeks of DEI being at the core of that change, it reeks of an agenda. Agendas don't make good stories :)
the people that made the witcher 1, and 3 left the studio years ago before cyberpunk 2077 most of them at least, if you want another witcher game I encourage y'all to check a game called blood of the dawnwalker AND kingdom come deliverance
Im concerned about The Witcher 4. I just bought witcher 3 complete edition and to finish blood and wine. But i wanted the witcher 4 to succeed but how will they do it since the og developers wont be present anymore
Rebel Wolves were fomed more than three years ago, so at the very least, Phantom Liberty was made by the "new terrible woke" CDPR and as such is "only" one of the best expansions ever made. Secondly, it is actually shocking to me how everyone assumes those old devs were forced out by CDPR and uses it to support their "new terrible woke CDPR" narrative. Has anyone considered that those people simply wanted to - god forbid - pursue different opportunities? I'm a software developer from central Europe and employees coming and going is super normal, some people leave after a year, some after 5 and some after 10. Personally, I've just left my last company after 7 years of being there, was it because that company joined Pride events every year? Promoted inclusivity? Helped women join the IT field? No, I simply wanted to do something completely new. You ask why the scholarship program doesn't also target boys: the answer is because it's not necessary. Young boys aren't barred from joining IT or video game industry by their upbringing and really, society as a whole, especially here in central and eastern Europe. The stereotype of "women to the kitchen" is still very real. When I started my IT studies, out of 500 new students, there were only about a dozen of girls, so I think this is very much welcome. My old company also did this, and as a result, my team gained a new female colleague, she was clever, learnt fast and it wasn't long before she became a great asset to the team. You can be inclusive and not compromise on quality. Games are bad because they are bad, not because they have a female lead or females in the company or a rainbow flag on a company's website. This whole DEI and woke witch hunt is quite silly.
I've experienced 1st-hand how diversity can destroy not just a company, but an entire country. My country went from 1st world to 3rd world in less than 10 years because they hired based on skin color instead of merit/experience. America isn't that far along yet, but your day will come. Just because this girl you worked with performed well, doesn't mean it's the same across other companies. The reality is straight white men are being sidelined in favor of this cult, and as result the quality of the product produced goes down. Gamers have had enough, because they are the consumers and the product they are supposed to consume doesn't appeal to them. Women have had equal opportunities for many years now, the reality is that most are wired differently. A small minority of women are technically-orientated, which results in the delusion that there is inequality in the workplace. Women also have to choose between raising children or working full-time, which often result in them quitting their jobs (seen many talented women leave companies for this reason). If a woman is good-looking, she doesn't even need to work because they can choose the best partner who makes 6 figures. You are just too oblivious to notice the patterns, but you will see in time when you are replaced by someone who fits in a more diverse box, provided you are a straight white male. Perhaps you are too good at your job, but once you become replaceable, they won't hesitate to sack you.
What a dishonest take. In Poland nobody is stopping girls from pursuing any career they damn please. If there arent many girls in IT, its 100% by their choice(or lack of talent) not by some imaginary cultural barriers. And besides, why the fuck does it matter if a gamedev has a vagina? Doesn't seem like it's much of an advantage, the opposite is probably more true judging by the need for mentrual leave. Let the best candidate get the job, not through some sexist affirmative action/DEI program.
Especially funny as the same fears were after W1 release. Not to mention there's more devs working on W4 that worked also on W3, than it was W1 and W2 devs combined that worked on W3. Actually over 130 of them :)
Uh, have you watched the trailer? It's clearly man-hating DEI slop. Apparently you either have low standards, agree with the agenda of anti-historical blame-casting, or have poor pattern recognition.
The uploader probably knows all of this but that doesn't get views, does it? These grifters maliciously lie to garner support amongst lonely gamers by selling them a narrative they can rally behind. "It's not YOUR fault that you're miserable, it's the gay agenda!"
I knew when cyberpunk flopped they gonna change roles and have people be DEI. Even if you praise phantom liberty. Most moved on. Now you got beta simps and women working in the company
They are done i think, fantastic peoples, workers who given us all parts of witcher series not working today. Now is sadge ... Because witcher series was created by team who was full of passion. Now ... Now i must see how good will be witcher IV but im full of fear how witcher 4 will be (idc about ciri looks bcs i can use nexusmod :) but hope advanture will be fine... But in last series i identify with Geralt bcs he was good person, with good heart, he was funny. Ofc he was a witcher but i think players like him and his personality.
People should listen to other People who warn them more often. Their Fears or Predictions mostly come 80% true. I dont know how many Times i warned People beforehand only to see their Dumb Decisions blowing up in their Faces and they act surprised. I look at Stuff and can predict often whats going to happen. Thats why Movies and Games are getting more and more boring because i can see the Plot Miles ahead.
The reason some people dont realize it's woke yet is because it was pretty much directly after cyberpunk was finished, "like 2024 finished, not 2020 finished" that they started collecting all these DEI experts, so every game going forward will be woke af
The fact that Ciri has been made a Witcher is absolutely a problem. It breaks the lore and it breaks the character. All because these creatively bankrupt developers couldn’t come up with anything other than to make Ciri into a bootleg copy of the male protagonist. Very on brand for feminists, in that regard.
Even if CDPR wasn't heavily compromised, I wouldn't give 2 FKs about W4. Playing as boring Ciri was one of the worst aspects of W3, and I have ZERO interest in a game that revolves around Ciri.
why are you surprised why do you notice this only now ? CD PR did a video on the main channel back in October 2021 that they take ESG. well better late then never i guess
I too at first defended W4 but in the light of more deep dives like your video here…. I am in no way buying that game until others take the risk and find out! I just love the menstrual leave… if I work there suddenly I identify as female if I need a couple days off! lol Yeah they’re hosed… no pun intended!
I consider myself anti-woke. I hate the forced DEI pandering in media, especially when it turns writing safe because they're afraid to offend anyone. However, I'm gonna judge a game company through the games they've released. The Rebel Wolves founder and many of those who left CDPR to form their own companies or join others left 3 years ago and yet Cyberpunk 2077 and Phantom Liberty, despite having some woke elements, never felt like they had forced DEI pandering in them, and most importantly, the writing was never safe. This is also not the same case with Veilguard where there's really almost no one from the original Bioware left in the company. If you follow CDPR closely, so many recognizable names are still there. Pawel Sasko, Kalemba who's the game director for TW4 has been in the company for more than 10 years, the game director for Cyberpunk sequel is the same game director for Phantom Liberty. If you guys are really allergic to woke, why not call out Larian then? If you play BG3 you'd know it's woke as hell. The dialogue and lore entries have a lot of the they/them BS. And I get it, BG3 kinda gets a free pass since it's a great game, so then, if the TW4 turns out to be a great game, why should it be slandered several years before it's even released just because of some CDPR devs being woke? 400+ devs are working on TW4, do you guys really think all of them have the same politics?
400+, only the ones on top matter, the rest follow orders. They chose to make Ciri Femralt instead of Ciri's powers set, ruining lore for it. If you can't see what the problem is with that alone, you're the issue, especially calling yourself "anti woke" That would just mean "normal" because nobody likes this.
oh you are about to find out. you are judging them by the people who have left. you should judge the new game as they havent created yet any big release.
@@nicechock Lol Phantom Liberty was just released last year. And do you know exactly who the people who are left or you just trust the youtubers who make a blanket statement that former CDPR devs have left? Because I know for a fact that many of the devs involved in CP77 and TW3 are still in the company, I can name at least those who usually appear in public like in their AnswerRED podcast, pretty much all of them are there. The game director for TW4 has been in CDPR for more than 10 years, but these youtubers are making it sound like it's a Bioware situation where almost none of the original team are left in the company, it's far from that. If you look at the team that worked on the TW3, you'll also see a lot of different names from those who worked on TW1 and TW2 but we all know how great TW3 became.
If you consider the dialogue and tone of the game, you should realise how woke Veilguard is. Compare it to Inquisition and these are by a long shot different games with Inquisition being somewhat complete in how characters interact and Veilguard being completely woke and biased towards that. Cyberpunk was released in 2020, so I'm not sure what you're trying to say with the Rebel Wolves. They made the game and left before Phantom Liberty released
No zobaczymy zobaczymy. Póki co to upadające woke cdpr robi 3 gry. Rebel wolves nie robi nic. Jak wypuszczą coś kalibru wiedźmina 3 albo chociaż 2. Spoko, przyznam im racje. Do tego czasu niech spierdalają pisać że są nawet namaszczeni przez papieża.
Isn't all the DEI shit mandated by law in the EU though? I thought the European commission required all companies to comply with DEI initiatives to lawfully practice business. It's bullshit but from my understanding CDPR and all EU based devs have to implement all this stuff into their studios to legally make games.
F cdpr, I had all games from them in pre orders. Now I don't even wait for witcher 4 because it's gonna be infested with mind virus. Polish devs made interview for polish fans and every second word from them was in english, ppl did not enjoy that at all. 2:55 🤣bruh, thx for skipping this whatever that is
This guy "Discovered" something that's been plainly obvious for several years now. Yes Ciri being a witcher isn't that big of a deal and at the very least her ascendency to the main character of the franchise was inevitable but to not immediately understand that it was a terrible sign of the overwhelming DEI influence is just caved-in-head wojackery.
the government was paying companies with DEI, it would be dumb to not have it. The only thing we can do is only but the products of those who didn't bend their morals for money in the industry
Nothing funny about menstrual leave. It's a highly uncomfortable state and very painful for some. If you can ask doctor for a sick leave because of a headache, you can definitely ask for a sick leave because of a period and since it's guaranteed to happen every month, may as well have a dedicated menstrual leave for it.
@@theobell2002 No, I didn't ignore it, I am just highlighting how preposterous something like 'menstral leave' is. If you get to take leave once a month, why can't I? Or take unpaid leave. Goodness gracious. Equality when it suits.
@@theobell2002 Are YOU a real person here? You dont understand how r3t@rd3d it is for something like this to exist? Nothing you said matter, and it just shows how unreliable having female workers is
Why Ciri being a Witcher is a problem is because characters with limitations are more interesting. It'd be like Captain America having the wits to make and operate the Iron Man armour AND being a super Soldier, IN FACT let's also make him the Wakandan king, No.... QUEEN!!! Ciri effectively has a bag of infinite BS, but now she also has the unique constitution to use the second rate sign spells of witchers AND Drink highly toxic concoctions, oh and say goodbye to Ciri Jr. cause those trials, not good for fertility, good for longevity, BUT Magic also seems to have a similar effect.
Ok, i also defended CDPR and TW4....i was wrong, and thank you for pointing this out. I stand corrected. And now i feel so disappointed that the woke agenda has destroyed my favourite franchise. Geez.
I just played games, but then I watched videos about how much my favorite games are WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOKE! Because one of 10005000 developers has a pink hair! To woooke! All that games were woke since 2012! My life is ruined and wooooookeeeee!.
I wouldn't say that some of these people leaving were NOT necessarily the ones that made The Witcher 3 great. They might. We'll see. But if I look at Phantom Liberty, it seems to me that expansion was pretty good without them. At the same time it also felt like it was lacking in some ways. It was technically very good, but also a bit soulless. Cold. I don't think there was a memorable side quest in Phantom Liberty like the base game of CP2077. No "Sinner Man" or the Peralez side missions that felt like you were in an episode of the X-Files. On top of that all the 80s Cyberpunk vibes of the base game were dead in PL. It felt like Ubisoft made a Cyberpunk game, and stripped out those heartfelt vibes, and soul of it. Cool, and calculated. Also keep in mind Witcher 3 had issues as well. The combat wasn't that great, and lots of RPG elements weren't that amazing. It released in a somewhat clunky state.
To defend the younger devs - companies like CDPR have, or used to have, their own engines only they understand. If I was using Unreal 4, then I'll get used to Unreal 5 pretty quick. If I was using Unity, and then the company throws red engine into my face - yeah, don't expect much for a while. And if you yourself don't have much people who do understand how your stuff works - I'd suggest just abandoning the ship with that piece of software. The way to go around it is to give proper modding tools so people would have at least some understanding of how the engine works. Usually it is the students who are doing the modding and letting them to work with your engine beforehand might make them less useless if they go to you after graduating.
kinda late for the news but damn. ciri as protagonist quite sus since its contradict the lore but they makin their own witcher version, i think. female protagonist is common or not that manny but after you showed cdpr website in your video and the hyperlink video, yep i guess my sceptical is right once again. keep up the good work mate.
if you post anything CHECK the facts:
Więcek, Mocarski, Blacha and Muraszkiewicz ( my own info ) are still in CDPR. Telling half the truth is also a LIE.
All names in Ln to check.
Interesting. So either they are still working there, or they are about to update their Ln, or the information was false.
@vinniepooh5083their Ln accounts are still pointing to this company, so how the hell someone can not simply check ? I understand all "the mess" arond CDPR and "C4" aka "W4" but still, screenshot posted is simply not truth and Author is "somewhat" missing this part. Last "excell credits" also are correct with Ln account data so why posting false info in the first place ? to get "likes" ? Dislike from me.
@@scgstudio I feel you. Maybe he'll read that and give you an answer. I don't know, either way, it was on purpose or by mistake. Maybe RW already has them on their team and the LN hasn't been updated, or he has other information. Not that I'm trying to justify anything, but now I'm curious and wondering myself - and do my own check. But I get it.
Regarding Blacha, if you look at the spreadsheet, you can see his new studio still says "CDPR" and tenure "Active". And I wasn't sure about Mocarski, hence the "?". Because I had those name copied on my spreadsheet from the PS5 Gamers Post. Initially I wanted to check those names, but half way through, I decided I'd rather check Rebel Wolves employees on Linkedin, when I ran into cases like blach and mocarski, hence Wiecek missing from my spreadsheet. I forgot to remove those names from my spreadsheet when I finalized it. there is also Ewa Stiller who didn't directly work for CDRP, but she worked for GOG for 6 years, which is owned by CDRP. YES, that's a mistake on my part, I recognize that, but hope this clears things up.
@@fifibombelek all is good. If topic is hot, everything has tendency for overreaction ;) But still, posting a tweet ( Xeet ? ) with false data and not commenting on it as "not entirely valid data anymore" is a mistake which can be used against you as "drama fuel to keep drama".
Look at the roles these people had- game director, quest director, lead writer... these are the people responsible for making the witcher 3's story and world as good as it is.
Rotation is a normal thing in the game industry? Still many people that had worked on witcher 3, are still working in CDPR, best example is Sebastian Kalemba which is game director for W4, and he has been with cdpr since 2013. You don't know what are you talking about
That's one lead who stayed. The lead quest designer, story board, project lead, etc have left. So the ops response is valid. Most of the head talent has left, yes rotation is normal but when you see rebel wolves have a majority of those leads that left, kinda makes your point mute. Rotation in small numbers is normal. Swaping over 60% of your leads is not.
It's a big thing. ;D
it's funny because you guys don't even know what a game director is, how good these are and how they contributed to w3, but you still vouch for them just because they existing without even comparing to the ones that exist in cdpr today or simply stayed
Witcher 3 was released almost 10 years ago. So what we're even talking about? I'm more into comparing devs that worked on cyberpunk(2020) and phantom liberty(2023) to whos actually are working now on W4.
Ciri being the main character isn't the problem.
Retconning her into a knock off Geralt instead of the unique and powerful character she originally was is the problem. The lame writing to justify her becoming a run of the mill witcher is the problem. Blaming the fans is the problem. Forcing the actual talent out to create 2 competing companies is probably going to be a major problem. As a former customer my problem is probably going to be buying too many games from competitors.
Yep, the company's politics and attitude are the problem - that's why I won't trust the team that is making W4. In a Cyberpunk world, DEI and progressivism fit more - but not in a dark, medieval-like fantasy.
Tbh I think Ciri being the protagonist is a problem. I don't mind a game with Ciri as the protagonist. But not a witcher game. I don't want to play a full length RPG as a female character. It takes the fun out of hunting for different cool looking armors, and it completely takes the fun out of the romance options out (As a straight guy). If you are woman then I'm guessing this is probably great for you. But for me the witcher games felt a bit like the 007 movies in a game. You played as a playboy sort of guy who happened to be deadly in a fight, and it felt like something that wasn't trying to be kid friendly. But having a female protagonist... that just takes a lot of that fun out of the equation. If they made another game with Ciri as the lead, that would be fine, but I don't want to play an entire full length witcher game as her. She wasn't that interesting a character to begin with. Its really geralt that made the story so interesting for me.
@@simonphoenix3789 You just wrote "Ciri being the main character isn't the problem."

@@TaxortRetotuck It was just a test, and you nailed it!😵💫🤯

The Witcher 4 will be made by the same studio, but not the same people and not in the same work enviroment. Can't wait for KCD 2.
I copped KCD for about 5 bucks a while back, but I haven't played it yet. should I prioritize it?
@@fifibombelek Well, it's a darn good game - an absolute masterpiece of medieval grit and realism. Play it, and you'll feel like you’ve been dropped into the middle of a brutal, blood-soaked epic where every swing of the sword tells a story. Don’t let the combat system throw you off - it’s fresh, it’s different, but trust me, it’s something you can master with a little grit and patience. Don't forget about "Instant Herb Picking" mod - you will need it - but it's the only one little thing.
@@fifibombelek The first time I booted up KCD, it was like walking straight into another world - same damn thrill I felt when I first rode with Witcher 1, 2, and 3 - well, maybe not W1 but still. This wasn’t just some game. Nice story, no BS and no censorship.
@@fifibombelek its not perfect but its one of my favorite games. Combat is tricky but when you pull off some good moves its rewarding. Considering its their first big game is also impressive. Cant wait for the sequel , im hoping they improved it in every way.
@@fifibombelek Yes. It is a great game. The combat takes some figuring out though, so I recommend hanging around the rattay practice area just past the intro segment for a bit if you decide to play it. You start as a complete nobody, both as the character and as the player. The journey to becoming badass is the best part about the game. I just spent forever roaming the world, fighting bandits and mercs, looting and killing my way to the top of the food chain. Doing most of the sidequests, and then returning to the main story as omegachad. At some point you get so good you can literally fist your way through the rattay tourney, or take a casually stroll into pre-battle pribyslavitz. Fun times. x'D
Cdpr ❌
Rebel Wolves ✅
Mighty Koi studio
Yes! and Mighty Koi
Yeah, let's see them fail miserably too.
Lmao. Rebel Wolves didn't create anything yet. What's more is that those guys are responsible for Cyberpunk 2077 initial release. The new people that came to CDPR they had fix the game and they created amazing Phantom Liberty. So why you put so much faith in Rebel Wolves.
@ wrong
Ciri doing witcher work is not a problem.
Ciri being an actual witcher is a massive problem.
The process and limitations of making someone a witcher is pretty well established.
And witcher Ciri absolutely wrecks this established lore.
Anyway, it's too early to tell after only one trailer, the game might turn out to be good, but I'm not at all optimistic.
THANK YOU! Ciri being a witcher is a massive red flag. On top of this, people behind the game are activists, so I don't need to see or play a game to know it will be 100hrs+ of lectures about how men are bad and women have it rough
I immediately had a bad feeling when I saw her eyes. I wouldn't have minded if she was doing a witcher's work. I don't mind if she takes the title of witcheress. But the established process of how witchers are made is VERY rigid and it's very damaging to the lore of the games. Gross. Not excited.
There is also BLANK. game studios formed out of former CDPR devs. People create games, not companies.
I already warned my friends to hold off getting Witcher 4. They at first laughed that CDPR "can't be woke because they are polish studio". Oh, that's not how it works...
they are a polish studio... in Warsaw... a big city... well 1 + 1 = ?
@felixmustermann790 Warsaw is more of "european" city than polish at this point. So yeah, it checks out. Correct answer is 3 ;)
It may be polish on the surface, but last I check, most of their current interns are Swedish.
@@Inquisitor_Lelouch Warsaw is the hub of western politics and ideology and all what's "progressive", same as Poznan. It's very easy to spot colorful hairstyles there, same as "progressive" graffiti or posters, events etc. Not much different from other big western cities.
@@Inquisitor_Lelouch what a bullshit information
There's doing a Witcher's job, and then there's BEING a Witcher.
They robbed us of a cool OP Ciri for fugly walmart Geralt.
Meh. Many people if not the majority never cared for her so much as wanting to play a whole game as her.
Though the percentage is impossible to measure, so nothing can reliably support or deny my claim.
@LegsON i actually agree that not many cared for Ciri that much, but with good gameplay and writing that could be solved.
Making her Femralt is not the solution still.
You may as well just do nothing and let 3 be the last game.
@@denkerbosu3551 Yep, I might play a Ciri game if it wouldn't be a goyslop.
There is another studio founded by other devs that left CDPR, it's called BLANK. Game Studios, it's founders are Mateusz Kanik, Jędrzej Mróz and Mikołaj Marchewka
The Witcher 3, and Cyberpunk 2077 is the last CDPR product what i bought. They won't see a single penny of me again.

I have the Witcher books and as a fan of the books I consider the first 3 games as a good ending to the series where The Witcher 3 ends the stories of Ciri and Geralt who can finally rest... the creators probably don't know, don't understand and don't care what Ciri's story was about and why there are no female witchers and also why Geralt would never let Ciri undergo mutations.. it's idiotic and shits on the entire Witcher lore and as a loyal fan of the series I distance myself from CDPR and don't consider this game as The Witcher
Bro im so fucking tired...Star wars, Rings of Power, Now even Black Snape, Dragon Age Veilguard...everything I like is being destroyed by mentally ill people
ah yes next is Woke Efffect 5 from WokeWare lets goooo lets destroy everything people love I have to stop watching UA-cam because lately I've been hearing worse and worse news
Probably the best for your own sanity. Don't listen to those funny conspiracy theories without seeing actual game xD
Same here! But I switched to other games, more indie I suppose - have you played Kenshi or Battle Brothers? Check them out!
At least YTubers will give you a warning before you buy instead getting betrayed by CDPR with the story and your wallet taking a hit. Now you don’t have to waste 70 bucks finding out.
@@Bloczek7940 it is not a "conspiracy" when they say they are doing it openly, you may only open their own website, what are you talking about my guy
@@italoviturino6386 Yes. They do it since 2018. Like why it became problem now? It is conspiracy, those youtubers just trying to get views out of it. Also did you even read their statement about it or you just saw heading "Inclusion & Diversity" and didnt even bother. Cause thats called research, articles and ytbers definitely dont know what it is.
None of this DEI prioritization would matter if it was not accompanied by placeholder appointments. People inserted into positions without merit. Look at CDPR Cian Maher, now creative director of W4. An ESG placeholder appointment from April 2023 with a track record most famous as a game 'journalist' defending the Witcher Netflix disaster. CDPR is cooked.
CDPR had evidence of being woke since the release of Cyberpunk, the questline where you help a trans woman win races has been in the game since the start, this questline also canonized the trans flag as its on the back of the trans woman's truck
the whole point of the game was to be a corpo dystopia with messed up politics but the game gives us a trans sob story, how do they not see the irony???
If I remember correctly Ciri is more powerful than Geralt because of Elder blood. The problem isn't that she will the protagonist of the next game is that she got nerfed to a Witcher. If CDPR change the title to "Witcher: Elder Blood", "Witcher: Ciri" or "Elder Blood" that would be the most fitting game title than "Witcher 4" because she can't be a Witcher. Instead they focused on Ciri being the NEW Witcher even if the Trial of the grasses is already gone. To be honest I don't mind her being the new Protagonist the problem is that WHY is she the Witcher if she's more Powerful than THE WITCHER(Geralt) itself. Fans got triggered because that.
Quick question: Are you Polish? If you are, you can sue CDPR for discrimination. I believe you can do it at no charge to you. The EU makes it illegal to discriminate based on gender.
You know that will never work as long as it benefits women or "marginalized" groups. Then they will always turn a blind eye to it and claim its not discriminatory at all.
@danielchavez9367 I am not Polish, but I did live there for 5 years.
@fifibombelek I live in America, so I can't do anything. I don't know if it is possible to sue CDPR from different countries in the EU. It is something to look into. Thank you for your videos.
EU also make Gender Quota for Women in directors.
@ammalessingtaweesak4316 Hmmm.... well, changes everything. We will have to wait for their location in America. We just got rid of quotas here.
CDPR hired a typical suspect game journo to be the loremaster for The Witcher games, it's never been more over.
When you get a sore throat and a runny nose chances are very high that you got a cold. Anyone who then tells you how those things mean nothing and that you should ignore them doesn't have your best interests at heart.
The way Ciri looks and acts? That's a sore throat. The way lore had to be changed to enable her role? That's a runny nose. Those have now become standard symptoms of "wokeness" and 19 times out of 20 these symptoms have accurately predicted the illness.
I will be looking out for Rebel Wolf studio products. And if i like it, i will buy it. Even if i don't have time to play it.
Also, look at the name of the Company, Rebel Wolves. Not only it is badass but an ode to Geralt since he is from the School of the Wolf
@@subhankarbaral9236 exactly, it's like they're saying "bitch we made you" 😤

3:00 correction, you have seen too much :D :D :D
But yeah, it does not look good for CDPR. I did the same and defended the trailer and the company, and still do to a degree, but with all of the things that have been revealed, and especially with Rebel Wolves going forward, having key figures from CDPR on board, it is very likely that Witcher 4 will be a slop. I'm still holding out hope we are wrong, but for the moment it doesn't seem like it.
As a fan of the witcher games, I do want CDPR to succeed and prove us all wrong, the same way they did with cyberpunk 2077 and the witcher 3 (it was also a mess on release). Well, not literally, I don't want them to release a broken ass game and fix it down the line, but I think you get my point. I came a realization that all this outcry stems from the fact that we hold so much love for the franchise and so it makes sense that people are mad. Whether you're on the excited side or disappointed side, I don't think you're wrong.
@fifibombelek Indeed. I hope they succeed, but I remain somewhat skeptical. Too many times blind faith has caused me grief with games, movies or TV shows. We'll see when the gameplay trailer comes out and fingers crossed.
It doesn't matter if TW4 ends up being a "good game", because they have infected it with political bias and disguising it as "art". It's not art, it's indoctrination. There are plenty of good games out there that isn't infected by this bias I would rather support instead. I don't want to give CDPR my money for TW4 because that would only encourage them to keep DEI and political agendas in their games.
@@Tangvu it wont and it cant end up.
Menstrual leave should be something that's present in every company though. Some women can barely walk while on their period so this is something really good.

I don't care about this activist company any more. True CDPR is Rebel Wolves
For me it's as simple as they changed Ciri too much. She looks way different (significantly uglier) and her voice actor is different as well. Nothing is the same about her except her name and I really have no interest playing as Ciri when her character has been changed so drastically
thats all cool and good, but what was on page 1&3?
Rebel wolfs, please make bad ass BASED GTA game!! Woo HOO!!! LEEETSS GOOO!!!!!
Actually surprises me why there was no GTA like game for many years. Considering how insanely popular it is.
In times of GTA 3-4 there were many GTA-likes out.
Someone should really make such games now. It doesn't need to be AAAA with super expensive cutscenes, animations and actor work on every corner.
I'm fine with it having no animation and no voice acting at all, and not having heavy "realistic" graphics, I just want it to be fun and interesting.
To już nie jest ten sam CDPR co kiedyś 😢

13yrs of avaerage working time seems to be wrong. @ 6:50. From my calculations it is 212/29=7,3 years/person average. I didnt count the 3 people out of 32, because I didn't see data for years of work of those people.
he didn't counted the person with 1year expierence i suppose. Manipulative trick from his side i guess
First: 3 people out of 31 - you count headers ;)
Second: equation should looks like this: 212/28=7,57...,
but
You have right! Still way below 13.
History is going in circles, same fears were after W1 release, most of CDPR devs changed studio. I've gathered quite some info about CDPR state and weirdly enough, it's actually better than it seems. CDPR was "woke" even before this term got it's popularity, since they joined stock exchange market in 2010, they were fighting for good ratings. Sadly those require "leftism". Though in past "nobody" knew them so people didn't gave a single damn about that.
Those woke, DEI, ESG, etc. devs patched-up cyberpunk to quite a solid state, not to mention they've created Phantom Liberty expansion, which is fricking amazing IMO.
Fun fact: There's more devs working on W4, that worked on W3. Than W1 or W2 devs that also worked on W3.
Anyway fifi, if you want some cool info regarding CDPR and W4 that hasn't yet been covered anywhere on UA-cam, then give me a more direct way to contact you than this comment section. because there's a lot.
Btw. I find it interesting how polish folk go against their own CDPR (100% polish company) and 3rd biggest polish stock company (check WIG20), yet cheer for Rebel Wolves, whom are financed by china and their publisher is Japanese.
As for gamers, they should be happy AF. We're getting:
- Witcher 4 - by CDPR
- Blood of the Dawnwalker - by Rebel Wolves
- Witcher 1 remake - by Fool's Theory
- Unnanounced "Witchery" project - by Elsewhere Entertainment
It's the gradual moving away. The lost of work ethic already apparent in Cyper punk release. Then more the portrayal of girls boss in. Then lesbians and gay. They tried to push woke content subtly but failed. Panam is the most popular heroin by FAR. Thus now they intent to push the woke harder.
It doesn't change what you should do anyway. Wait for reliable review, and buy base on review. But I'm sure this is the Witcher that will flop and end the series. China and Japanese unironically are those that promote healthy environment for creative work. Especially Japan.
If Phantom Libterty's writing is a sign of things to come, then you can write CDPR off entirely. The story lead on that expac was hot garbage and ran it like the worst parts of the main game, not the best. Railroading and willfully ignorant MC make for a piss poor story. Add the terrible performance issues in Dogtown to the mix, the fact that most "new" things in the post-PL patches outside of Dogtown are literally just stolen mods implemented without credit and you have a disaster in the making that plays like half of it was made by unpaid interns.
I don't talk about beliefs and opinions, because those aren't factual. Your belief isn't bigger than anybody else.
What I talk about is numbers and concrete data.
For example that's why I talk about sales and mass reputation. It's obvious you can't create a game that will suit everybody - as simple as that. And if you aim to make something for everybody, then it's bleak and shallow and good for nobody.
There are people who hated Witcher 3 for story, gameplay and many other reasons. There are folk who love it for same reasons. Same thing with Cyberpunk. If you check for Phantom Liberty critique videos on UA-cam - most of them are HIGHLY positive. So basically you're in minority.
I try my best to look from every side. Gather information from whole spectrum of information and materials (positive and negative and neutral), as all sides have valid arguments. Then I verify what I can (you'd be surprised how many lies, missed context and half-truths are spoken as irrefutable facts) - and my conclusion is that CDPR is in good condition. I've data to prove it, yet I'm not going to argue about it. Haters gonna hate and it's a waste of each other time. If you've got convinced already that CDPR is a flop, you won't change your mind whatever I'll present you. That's human nature, most people react that way. This is the same reason why so many people believe Earth is flat. If you want to notice stuff, you'll do it subconsciously - happens in everyday life - that's scientifically proven and it's stronger than you think.
Anyway if you believe Rebel Wolves is your gaming salvation, then let it be. Stay tuned and positive friends :)
@@driv3ver Nobody cares about the company beyond how it affects the end product. And right now, your end product ain't lookin' too good. Personally, I wouldn't invest in CDPR. Why?
Because I just saw what happened to Ubisoft and I'm more than aware what a poorly constructed story means for a narratively interactive experience.
CDPR's current story director is an idiot.
And that is all that matters for the end product, because CDPR is making an RPG and an RPG with an incoherent story will do one or both of two things:
1) Flop
2) Irreparably damage the brand
@@maxgehtdnixan4913 You're entitled to your opinion and I don't see anything wrong in that. I won't argue with you :)
Funny thing is, if W3 would've been released now - it would receive a lot hate too. Same product - different opinions. Witcher 3 breaks a lot of lore. Just as all previous CDPR games did, according to A. Sapkowski's books. It's full of what people would call now woke agenda with gays, lesbians, sexism, trans and empowered woman characters.
Would you be so kind to tell me which CDPR employee do you cite as "an idiot"?
Rebel wolves are also woke.
how so?
@RebCosm look at their promo video. At least two transformers in the team.
Perhaps the promo video is proof of this. But to be sure of this, you need to wait for their releases.
@@Velichao Well you also have to wait for Witcher 4 to see for your own eyes
@@Bloczek7940 witcher 4 is cdpr not rebel wolves
Damn it.
I haven't bought Cyberpunk yet and now I'm not sure I can buy it with a good conscience...
It was made by old guard and it is amaizing.
But everything after PL Cyberpunk it will ne shieeet.
@@messmeg7582 Yeah but I'm talking about how buying the product now would support CDPR which I don't want to do since they're woke.
Get your ship and explore the ocean maybe you will fall upon a treasure and find the game for free. I am against that kind of stuffs normally, but at this point almost none of those that made that game great are left in the company, so why spend money on that game?
@@messmeg7582 It wasn't made by "the old guard" Especially phenomenal Phantom Liberty released in late 2023. What are you guys talking about XD
@@shades909 Good suggestion. I haven't sailed before but I guess I'll have to start
I do not think that most of the people will care about lore, it is a fiction so anything can be considered as a fan fiction like Shadow of the Mordor was. Anyway not going to preorder the game, gonna wait for reviews
A lot of these studios are just name, the people that made them famous are long gone... Sadly a lot of us don't take the time to research this stuff. "Big" reviewers are also in this crap so you can't look for a simple objective opinion if a game is fun or not... It all comes down to the people, the real gamers who want to play good games, and their word of mouth.
A lot of people don't know about CDPR because the company doesn't advertise their ESG and DEI practices outside of their website. And not many gamers visit websites of the studios, and really read into the small print. I believe tons of defenders of CDPR and their current decisions are doing it simply because they don't have the full picture :)
As for Ciri, to me it doesn't matter that she is the protagonist. It was the obvious choice. The problem is that they made her into Geralt with boobs. An angry, judgemental Geralt with boobs. I understand character development, and the fact that the game takes place few years after Witcher 3. But this is not a very good, well thought out change. It reeks of DEI being at the core of that change, it reeks of an agenda. Agendas don't make good stories :)
the people that made the witcher 1, and 3 left the studio years ago before cyberpunk 2077 most of them at least, if you want another witcher game I encourage y'all to check a game called blood of the dawnwalker AND kingdom come deliverance
Blood of Dawnwalker is the next “witcher” game we’ve been waiting for!
Im concerned about The Witcher 4. I just bought witcher 3 complete edition and to finish blood and wine. But i wanted the witcher 4 to succeed but how will they do it since the og developers wont be present anymore
Rebel Wolves were fomed more than three years ago, so at the very least, Phantom Liberty was made by the "new terrible woke" CDPR and as such is "only" one of the best expansions ever made.
Secondly, it is actually shocking to me how everyone assumes those old devs were forced out by CDPR and uses it to support their "new terrible woke CDPR" narrative. Has anyone considered that those people simply wanted to - god forbid - pursue different opportunities? I'm a software developer from central Europe and employees coming and going is super normal, some people leave after a year, some after 5 and some after 10. Personally, I've just left my last company after 7 years of being there, was it because that company joined Pride events every year? Promoted inclusivity? Helped women join the IT field? No, I simply wanted to do something completely new.
You ask why the scholarship program doesn't also target boys: the answer is because it's not necessary. Young boys aren't barred from joining IT or video game industry by their upbringing and really, society as a whole, especially here in central and eastern Europe. The stereotype of "women to the kitchen" is still very real. When I started my IT studies, out of 500 new students, there were only about a dozen of girls, so I think this is very much welcome. My old company also did this, and as a result, my team gained a new female colleague, she was clever, learnt fast and it wasn't long before she became a great asset to the team. You can be inclusive and not compromise on quality.
Games are bad because they are bad, not because they have a female lead or females in the company or a rainbow flag on a company's website. This whole DEI and woke witch hunt is quite silly.
I've experienced 1st-hand how diversity can destroy not just a company, but an entire country. My country went from 1st world to 3rd world in less than 10 years because they hired based on skin color instead of merit/experience. America isn't that far along yet, but your day will come. Just because this girl you worked with performed well, doesn't mean it's the same across other companies. The reality is straight white men are being sidelined in favor of this cult, and as result the quality of the product produced goes down. Gamers have had enough, because they are the consumers and the product they are supposed to consume doesn't appeal to them. Women have had equal opportunities for many years now, the reality is that most are wired differently. A small minority of women are technically-orientated, which results in the delusion that there is inequality in the workplace. Women also have to choose between raising children or working full-time, which often result in them quitting their jobs (seen many talented women leave companies for this reason). If a woman is good-looking, she doesn't even need to work because they can choose the best partner who makes 6 figures. You are just too oblivious to notice the patterns, but you will see in time when you are replaced by someone who fits in a more diverse box, provided you are a straight white male. Perhaps you are too good at your job, but once you become replaceable, they won't hesitate to sack you.
What a dishonest take. In Poland nobody is stopping girls from pursuing any career they damn please. If there arent many girls in IT, its 100% by their choice(or lack of talent) not by some imaginary cultural barriers.
And besides, why the fuck does it matter if a gamedev has a vagina? Doesn't seem like it's much of an advantage, the opposite is probably more true judging by the need for mentrual leave.
Let the best candidate get the job, not through some sexist affirmative action/DEI program.
Especially funny as the same fears were after W1 release. Not to mention there's more devs working on W4 that worked also on W3, than it was W1 and W2 devs combined that worked on W3. Actually over 130 of them :)
Uh, have you watched the trailer? It's clearly man-hating DEI slop. Apparently you either have low standards, agree with the agenda of anti-historical blame-casting, or have poor pattern recognition.
The uploader probably knows all of this but that doesn't get views, does it?
These grifters maliciously lie to garner support amongst lonely gamers by selling them a narrative they can rally behind.
"It's not YOUR fault that you're miserable, it's the gay agenda!"
I knew when cyberpunk flopped they gonna change roles and have people be DEI. Even if you praise phantom liberty. Most moved on. Now you got beta simps and women working in the company
*woke women
Regular chicks who love video games don't dig this DEI shite, I certainly don't.

Too bad for you Phantom Liberty was fantastic. One of the best expansion I ever played.

@@goop_6537nice 👍🏼
They are done i think, fantastic peoples, workers who given us all parts of witcher series not working today. Now is sadge ... Because witcher series was created by team who was full of passion. Now ... Now i must see how good will be witcher IV but im full of fear how witcher 4 will be (idc about ciri looks bcs i can use nexusmod :) but hope advanture will be fine... But in last series i identify with Geralt bcs he was good person, with good heart, he was funny. Ofc he was a witcher but i think players like him and his personality.
People should listen to other People who warn them more often. Their Fears or Predictions mostly come 80% true. I dont know how many Times i warned People beforehand only to see their Dumb Decisions blowing up in their Faces and they act surprised. I look at Stuff and can predict often whats going to happen. Thats why Movies and Games are getting more and more boring because i can see the Plot Miles ahead.
Subbed. Good video 👍🏻
Good. Now I for sure will buy the next Witcher game.
The reason some people dont realize it's woke yet is because it was pretty much directly after cyberpunk was finished, "like 2024 finished, not 2020 finished" that they started collecting all these DEI experts, so every game going forward will be woke af
The reason some people don't realize it's woke yet is because they didn't se enough youtube videos about "How everything is wooooooooke111!!!111!!!".
The fact that Ciri has been made a Witcher is absolutely a problem. It breaks the lore and it breaks the character. All because these creatively bankrupt developers couldn’t come up with anything other than to make Ciri into a bootleg copy of the male protagonist. Very on brand for feminists, in that regard.
cdpr broke "the lore" before if you didn't noticed
It's rather comical seeing how people are starting to pivot when they see things are changing.
Dawnbreaker looks amazing :)
will ciri be granted days off from witchering for menstrual pain too?
Nahhhhh this is WILD! 😭😭😭
Even if CDPR wasn't heavily compromised, I wouldn't give 2 FKs about W4. Playing as boring Ciri was one of the worst aspects of W3, and I have ZERO interest in a game that revolves around Ciri.
Women can't create wirhout a man
I don't have an issue with ciri being a witcher. I just think they'll completely force political messaging in the game.
@@tc-tm1my that's been the case with most girlboss manjaw featuring games recently, so yea, it makes sense to be skeptical about it
To jest smutne ze najbardziej szanowane studio przezemniesi e skurwilo
People who are going to buy the new Witcher because they liked CDPRs previous games are just idiots, and there are going to be a LOT!
why are you surprised why do you notice this only now ? CD PR did a video on the main channel back in October 2021 that they take ESG. well better late then never i guess
Dragon Age was cringe, but the woke paranoia/obsession is just as off putting. Great for content creators for farming though.
I too at first defended W4 but in the light of more deep dives like your video here…. I am in no way buying that game until others take the risk and find out! I just love the menstrual leave… if I work there suddenly I identify as female if I need a couple days off! lol Yeah they’re hosed… no pun intended!
they were woke back in 2015 with witcher 3 but that didn't seemed to be a problem back then and is not now so...????
Cyberpunk release was a complete disaster, witcher 4 will be even worse since people bought it anywa.
So yeah, there is a problem.
@@googleslocik you can't buy wither 4 yet????? not even pre-order it. besides witcher 4 is not cyberpunk
@
Your point? Judge a company by its actions, not by 100 milion $ marketing campaign. CD Project is a scummy and woke company.
I consider myself anti-woke. I hate the forced DEI pandering in media, especially when it turns writing safe because they're afraid to offend anyone. However, I'm gonna judge a game company through the games they've released. The Rebel Wolves founder and many of those who left CDPR to form their own companies or join others left 3 years ago and yet Cyberpunk 2077 and Phantom Liberty, despite having some woke elements, never felt like they had forced DEI pandering in them, and most importantly, the writing was never safe. This is also not the same case with Veilguard where there's really almost no one from the original Bioware left in the company. If you follow CDPR closely, so many recognizable names are still there. Pawel Sasko, Kalemba who's the game director for TW4 has been in the company for more than 10 years, the game director for Cyberpunk sequel is the same game director for Phantom Liberty. If you guys are really allergic to woke, why not call out Larian then? If you play BG3 you'd know it's woke as hell. The dialogue and lore entries have a lot of the they/them BS. And I get it, BG3 kinda gets a free pass since it's a great game, so then, if the TW4 turns out to be a great game, why should it be slandered several years before it's even released just because of some CDPR devs being woke? 400+ devs are working on TW4, do you guys really think all of them have the same politics?
Finally found some, who actually uses his own brain instead of following mainstream and conspiracy theories. Im with you man !
400+, only the ones on top matter, the rest follow orders.
They chose to make Ciri Femralt instead of Ciri's powers set, ruining lore for it.
If you can't see what the problem is with that alone, you're the issue, especially calling yourself "anti woke"
That would just mean "normal" because nobody likes this.
oh you are about to find out. you are judging them by the people who have left. you should judge the new game as they havent created yet any big release.
@@nicechock Lol Phantom Liberty was just released last year. And do you know exactly who the people who are left or you just trust the youtubers who make a blanket statement that former CDPR devs have left? Because I know for a fact that many of the devs involved in CP77 and TW3 are still in the company, I can name at least those who usually appear in public like in their AnswerRED podcast, pretty much all of them are there. The game director for TW4 has been in CDPR for more than 10 years, but these youtubers are making it sound like it's a Bioware situation where almost none of the original team are left in the company, it's far from that. If you look at the team that worked on the TW3, you'll also see a lot of different names from those who worked on TW1 and TW2 but we all know how great TW3 became.
If you consider the dialogue and tone of the game, you should realise how woke Veilguard is. Compare it to Inquisition and these are by a long shot different games with Inquisition being somewhat complete in how characters interact and Veilguard being completely woke and biased towards that.
Cyberpunk was released in 2020, so I'm not sure what you're trying to say with the Rebel Wolves. They made the game and left before Phantom Liberty released
I mean, they only made a video on their knees for blackrock funding through ESG..kind of big giveaway

Isn't all the DEI shit mandated by law in the EU though? I thought the European commission required all companies to comply with DEI initiatives to lawfully practice business.

Came here after the Dawnwalker trailer. Sick of this DEI BS. We need bad ass games, not a HR lecture.
@alvarocortez1919 The presentation the wolves put together was top-notch
This guy "Discovered" something that's been plainly obvious for several years now. Yes Ciri being a witcher isn't that big of a deal and at the very least her ascendency to the main character of the franchise was inevitable but to not immediately understand that it was a terrible sign of the overwhelming DEI influence is just caved-in-head wojackery.
They made that studio 3yrs ago and they still colaborate with CD RED this video in nonsense
the government was paying companies with DEI, it would be dumb to not have it. The only thing we can do is only but the products of those who didn't bend their morals for money in the industry
I'm crossing my fingers for Rebel Wolves !
Nothing funny about menstrual leave. It's a highly uncomfortable state and very painful for some. If you can ask doctor for a sick leave because of a headache, you can definitely ask for a sick leave because of a period and since it's guaranteed to happen every month, may as well have a dedicated menstrual leave for it.
Can i as a man also apply for leave once a month, regularly and ongoingly?

Why Ciri being a Witcher is a problem is because characters with limitations are more interesting.
It'd be like Captain America having the wits to make and operate the Iron Man armour AND being a super Soldier, IN FACT let's also make him the Wakandan king, No.... QUEEN!!!
Ciri effectively has a bag of infinite BS, but now she also has the unique constitution to use the second rate sign spells of witchers AND Drink highly toxic concoctions, oh and say goodbye to Ciri Jr. cause those trials, not good for fertility, good for longevity, BUT Magic also seems to have a similar effect.
Ok, i also defended CDPR and TW4....i was wrong, and thank you for pointing this out. I stand corrected. And now i feel so disappointed that the woke agenda has destroyed my favourite franchise. Geez.
I just played games, but then I watched videos about how much my favorite games are WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOKE! Because one of 10005000 developers has a pink hair! To woooke! All that games were woke since 2012! My life is ruined and wooooookeeeee!.
@rastudio5009 i hope TW4 is awesome, and i wont judge it in any way until it is released.
some hit up asmongold to give Rebel Wolves a shout out maybe ask war horse studios to do the same
Funny fact: they were always woke
Imagine they got Doug Cockle to voice the main character for The Blood of Dawnwalker.

yes but its a new thing to us , cos we had no clue until off late
It is CDEIProjekt now
rebel wolves !
I wouldn't say that some of these people leaving were NOT necessarily the ones that made The Witcher 3 great. They might. We'll see. But if I look at Phantom Liberty, it seems to me that expansion was pretty good without them. At the same time it also felt like it was lacking in some ways. It was technically very good, but also a bit soulless. Cold. I don't think there was a memorable side quest in Phantom Liberty like the base game of CP2077. No "Sinner Man" or the Peralez side missions that felt like you were in an episode of the X-Files. On top of that all the 80s Cyberpunk vibes of the base game were dead in PL. It felt like Ubisoft made a Cyberpunk game, and stripped out those heartfelt vibes, and soul of it. Cool, and calculated. Also keep in mind Witcher 3 had issues as well. The combat wasn't that great, and lots of RPG elements weren't that amazing. It released in a somewhat clunky state.
Welp Rebel wolves is too. You clowns can cry about that now too😂😂
The lead directory is LGBT and they are people actually freaking rn lmao😂. Imagine being so miserable.
Their move really is so badass.
To defend the younger devs - companies like CDPR have, or used to have, their own engines only they understand.
If I was using Unreal 4, then I'll get used to Unreal 5 pretty quick.
If I was using Unity, and then the company throws red engine into my face - yeah, don't expect much for a while. And if you yourself don't have much people who do understand how your stuff works - I'd suggest just abandoning the ship with that piece of software.
The way to go around it is to give proper modding tools so people would have at least some understanding of how the engine works. Usually it is the students who are doing the modding and letting them to work with your engine beforehand might make them less useless if they go to you after graduating.
CDR stock to the moooon! sike

That shit made me spit out my drink. You're a funny man.
kinda late for the news but damn. ciri as protagonist quite sus since its contradict the lore but they makin their own witcher version, i think. female protagonist is common or not that manny but after you showed cdpr website in your video and the hyperlink video, yep i guess my sceptical is right once again. keep up the good work mate.
