In CD Projekt RED We Trust!

CD Projekt Red stands strong in what it delivers to the player in terms of gaming experience, consumer friendly practices and polished detailed games. This may be no different for Cyberpunk 2077, which follows in the big footsteps of The Witcher 3. With No DRM, Microtransactions + Pre order bonuses, they are living up to their reputation as those who put their gamers and customers first. In CD Projekt Red We Trust …

The very best games and gaming experiences, make us feel truly indebted to companies who have produced them, instead of feeling like we paid for a half-baked experience.

I bought the Witcher 3 via Steam Sale months and months ago, and feel like I ripped CD Projekt Red off, with just how much content, love and detail was packed into it, regardless of the fact that It may not be a game for me, personally. This is a single player game, with more re-playability than a lot of multiplayer titles on the market today.
It was one of the few experiences I’ve had in the last couple years, where I’ve truly felt like I got my money’s worth. Getting to the stage where I’m becoming a senile old man, I have less time and effort to invest in shitty games. All I want is to receive what I am promised when buying a new game, nothing more and nothing less.

Now although not always this way, CD Projekt Red has become increasingly more transparent in their dealings. Despite the Witcher 3 downgrade fiasco, they’ve learned as a relatively new developer that transparency is the key to creating a consumer who wants to back a developer and to establish some sort of brand loyalty.
Even in their very polished Cyberpunk 2077 gameplay demo, which they were skeptical to release for polish reasons, they had a banner the entire 48 minutes that advised things might change in the ginal game.

They claim they leave greed to others, and back it up with free DLCs, avoiding pre-order exclusives and a complete removal and refusal to add micro-transactions and DRM policies, which essentially means that you could pirate their games if you wanted to.
They can do this because they have built such consumer loyalty that even people who have pirated their games, come back to buy a copy. They had no DRM for The Witcher 3, and it still sold 10 million+ copies.

These aren’t easy decisions, because as you know they are a business at the end of the day, but this is not how they want to do business, and ironically it’s what has given them more business.
Believe it not, there are still companies who value their consumer, atleast for the time being.

Now cyberpunk 2077 might be a bad game, and whether it is or not, I urge you guys to start voting and making market changes with your wallets. Stop buying uninspired, lazy games that lead to battered gamer syndrome where you are always going back to that developer who once made your favorite game, but are now ringing you dry like a towel without a drop left in it.

Whether or not you relate those water drops to your finances, your passion for games, or your will to even keep gaming, the answer to wake these developers up is stop investing in early access, unfinished, reskinned, microtransaction laden and plain greedy games.

Trust in developers who go against the grain. Trust in Developers like CD Projekt Red.
