CD Projekt Red top execs clear over US$28 million in bonuses despite Cyberpunk 2077's rocky launch

[Redaktion]

Cyberpunk 2077's notoriously troubled launch has apparently not had an impact on the major bonuses cleared by CD Projekt Red's senior executives this year. CDPR heads received over $US28 million, thanks in large part to Cyberpunk's hype-driven sales success.

Somehow I knew it came from games socialist Jason Schreier just by reading the Notebookcheck headline.

I'll say on behalf of all the PC gamers. We don't care about old gen consoles  at all. It is a waste of resources and a progress blocker.
If the devs can't get it to work on this 7yo hardware, let it burn. Obsolete hardware and arhitecture shouldn't affect bonuse or score in any way.
Also that guy Jason Schreier promotes safe approach in game development, why even bother with such ambitious project like Cyberpunk when there is live service with battle pass, mobile platform or new game every year CoD-like cycle.

suboptimal performance on anything short of a GeForce RTX 3080

This is not true. 3070 will give you ~60fps on Ultra with RTX and acceptable level of DLSS. There is an entire video about it.

Progress? What progress?

Oh, a video card that costs +1100€ can run it without problems. The game isn't the problem, it's everyone else who doesn't spend more than 1100€ just on the video card!
For all of you that complain... stop being poor!

Obviously CD Projekt could've refused releasing the game on last gen consoles, but they wanted to collect the sweet money from sales, well then better make the game work.
And on PC you might get flashy graphic, and compelling story, but also incredibly dumb AI, un-interactive world, lack of basic physic and spaghetti code with tons of bugs and glitches.
