Cyberpunk sells 13 milly after refunds

[Gizmo_Duck]

Even as the publisher and developer all in one, you don't get 90% of the revenue. And this game was being made over 8 years worth of salaries.

8 years of salary and development
Overhead
Marketing
distribution
Sony/Microsoft Royalties

It didnt start production until blood and wine came out in 2016. I’m not sure why yall keep saying 8 years because they released a teaser in 2013

 

[daze23]

still the top seller on Steam

Steam Search

and 3rd most played game (impressive for a single player game)

There's still 315 mil left

These nikkas won

I feel like more and more things going to keep coming up, gradually depleting that revenue, coming to the conclusion for you to be like "There's still 2 million left. These nikkas........tied?"

Not really valid to put all 8 years of salary on cyberpunk.

They released Two very successful games during that time and real production on cyberpunk didn’t begin until after Witcher 3 dlc was done.

Im sure their profit isn’t 90% of revenue, but they made A LOT of money in one day. And they will continue to make money off the title going forwar.

They will profit more off this game than they did the Witcher 3 easily.

More like the opposite. The outrage machine is runnning out of fuel. The cyberpunk headlines are gonna stop generating clicks and as the game gets improved that will become to new headlines.

The media and game journalist are so phony. They will start promoting the comeback story in a few months

Probably on a conference call with Hbo Max, Disney+, and Netflix making them fight over the rights to a TV series as I type this

My boy got a physical copy for his bro for his Christmas present. Nikka took it out from under the tree. He wants to keep it, thinking it will be worth something years from now because of this fukkery.

lmaooo

And this will only increase anticipation for their next title everyone's going to be checking for it to see if they release it without bugs etc.

If they pull a no man's sky then they will be fine IMO.

With that said... I am not going to play this game until the next Generation upgrade releases and it gets for patches

Where are you getting this? I have seen this stated a number of times in multiple threads and couldn’t be bothered to correct it. This is false they had a second team working on this game to begin with then moved over the entire team after the release of the Witcher 3. I remember watching one of their conference in 2011 or 2012 of them talking about this. The game has been in production for a long long time with a greater focus placed on it after Witcher 3 release.

Just imagine. 13 mil times 60, take away taxes, pay your employees, pay for leasing/whatever operating fees you have, probably...idk, 50 mil worth of expenses

That's still 730 mil left

These nikkas won

Hopefully, they reinvest this into the company so they can make better working games in a more timely fashion.

Yeah most games/media will have a skeleton crew on for pre-production but the majority of the team was on the witcher 3 until the 2nd DLC was done. You have to remember CDPR started as a smaller indie studio and grew exponentially after the witcher 3’s initial success. They didn’t have the type of manpower to have two AAA games in production at once

Absolutely but I vehemently disagree with the statement that production didn’t begin until 2016 after Blood and wine. That is a false statement because CDPR themselves say otherwise, yes the company grew over the course of development and the scope of the game grew with it. That doesn’t change the fact that they had already started on the game years ago.
