Rumor shutdown by CDPR PR "Yah, we're not in such talks with Sony"



Rumor shutdown by CDPR CEO Adam Kiciński too: “So, I can repeat what we have been saying throughout the years, CD Projekt is not for sale". “We want to remain independent. We have, I believe an excellent strategy. Not easy to execute, for sure, but it’s very exciting to follow our own path. So it’s a pure rumour.”

CD Projekt dismisses rumours that Sony may be acquiring it | VGC

“CD Projekt is not for sale”, the company’s CEO reiterated…

He added: “So, I can repeat what we have been saying throughout the years – CD Projekt is not for sale.

“We want to remain independent. We have, I believe an excellent strategy. Not easy to execute, for sure, but it’s very exciting to follow our own path. So it’s a pure rumour.”

Elsewhere in the call, Kiciński stated that Cyberpunk 2077’s upcoming Phantom Liberty expansion will be playable at Summer Game Fest‘s Play Days event.

Also, the person who started this rumor said "Days Gone 2 is in development" but Sony confirmed that Bend is working on a new IP that has multiplayer.

Bend Studio community manager: "It’s truly exhausting. People gotta get those ‘likes’ tho"

 

[-Zelda-]

Well, that's disappointing.

 

[feynoob]

They deserve to be independent.

 

[TLZ]

All this talk and excitement about big corporations buying studios should stop. We never spoke of these before. We just spoke of games and played them.

Such bullshit times we live in.

 

[Kilau]

 

[Sacred]

Well, that's disappointing.

Why is that disappointing, they will make way better games as an independent studio.

 

[nial]

Stop believing those attention seekers.

 

[Pop]

Well she isn't going to say they are

 

[CosmicComet]

Knowing Sony they would pay them 10 billion dollars to stay exactly the same, zero exclusives, hell not even any timed exclusive content, zero anything, all just to own their IPs on paper. The same way they did with their toothless Bungie acquisition.

 

[Represent.]

I miss the days of companies actually reporting on rumors instead of letting them spread like fucking wildefire for years.

 

[SmokedMeat]

Good!

What a stupid rumor it was anyway. Sony would ruin them.

 

[mortal]

The rumor mill is out of control.

 

[lh032]

Good ,spend that money somewhere else instead of this overrated publisher

 

[Topher]

 

[ChorizoPicozo]

Good ,spend that money somewhere else instead of this overrated publisher

I mean.... they spend 3B in Bungie so...

 

[Hawking Radiation]

Stop believing those attention seekers.

Who started it? We need to blacklist these BS leakers on this site.

 

[Mister Wolf]

They don't need Sony.

 

[Captain Toad]

Gee, what a shock.

 

[Saber]

Why the need to even answer these attention seekers is beyond me. Any idiot can spread rumors, see the amount of dumb "Bloodborne" rumors we get.

 

[Kacho]

See you guys in a few days for the next one

 

[Fake]

Thank god. Stay hell out Sony.

 

[Hawking Radiation]

Why the need to even answer these attention seekers is beyond me. Any idiot can spread rumors, see the amount of dumb "Bloodborne" rumors we get.

People on this forum go looking for these attention seekers in places like reddit and fucking twitter and then spread their BS here.

Would be nice to have a forum not literred with the faeces from reddit and twitter.

 

[Kumomeme]

stop feed those twittards

 

[Danjin44]

Well, that's disappointing.

Why? I dont know why some people think being exclusive will make the game automatically better......its not.

 

[Mozzarella]

Good for GoG imo. I hate acquisitions in general.

 

[bitbydeath]

No such response from Take-Two though.

Do I need to say I’m kidding? Nah…

 

[Del_X]

Sony’s been taking a stand against nudity and anything terribly edgy so this is good.

 

[GigaBowser]

Good for Sony CDPR dont knows nothing abouts gameplay

 

[Fredrik]

Phew!
Sony can buy whatever console studio they want but they need to stay far away from any dev mainly focused on PC until they stop with their stupid delays.

 

[night13x]

Guys - I heard on 4chan that Kojima is buying nintendo and Xenosaga 4 is in development.

 

[thicc_girls_are_teh_best]

They deserve to be independent.

So does ABK.

Why is that disappointing, they will make way better games as an independent studio.

So COD will get worst under Microsoft? Sony were right!!!

They don't need Sony.

Well, ABK don't need Microsoft. Bobby Kotick needed them, though :/

 

[Sacred]

So does ABK.

Completely different topics...

 

[feynoob]

???
Tell that to the people that wants that deal.
Because of that deal, entire gaming landscape is a mess.

 

[Hawking Radiation]

Did anyone really ever ask themselves the question how a Destiny 2 leaker would have such sensitive information such as a CDPR acquisition by Sony?

 

[RoboFu]

Duh, it just screamed of trying to distract from the negative talk about the showcase.

 

[EDMIX]

Well she isn't going to say they are

This.

Moot.

When the fuck has any company confirmed a buyout or acquisition based on a tween and just said "yea, its happening" based on a rumor?

So regardless of if the rumor is true or not, I'd never actually take their word for it as they are not going to break that news like this even if it was happening.

That isn't even how we got those other announcements for anyone to think this is valid. This is that same moot PR shit they always say lol

 

[TheGodfather07]

Hopefully Microsoft get them, so millions more players get access to cd projekt red games.

 

[Tomeru]

Sooooyouretellingmetheresachance

 

[Danjin44]

Hopefully Microsoft get them, so millions more players get access to cd projekt red games.

Or they could stay mutiplatform so everyone can play?

 

[Pallas]

So does ABK.

Well, ABK don't need Microsoft. Bobby Kotick needed them, though :/

And that’s also likely not to happen now, so what’s your point? ABK also wanted to be purchased, it’s not like Microsoft is doing a hostile take over.

 

[Max_Po]

Another "insider" jurno exposed

 

[DavidGzz]

Witcher 4 console only or even a year exclusive would have been terrible. Whew.

 

[OuterLimits]

Wasn't Sony rather annoyed with the company after the Cyberpunk launch debacle and the refund mess? Lol.

 

[EDMIX]

I'm not sure that would really change if they bought them or not. As in, their choice to buy them could be based on GOG or the IP and they might already have something in place to fire those people or replace them or have the studio overseen by another trusted developer or something like that.

 

[bender]

But I was looking forward to the Witcher being turned into a GAAS extraction shooter.

 

[TheGodfather07]

Or they could stay mutiplatform so everyone can play?

but microsoft bring more games, to more gamers, on more platforms! its good for the industry if they buy everyone. did you get the reference this time?

 

[kuncol02]

Why is that disappointing, they will make way better games as an independent studio.

And more importantly only independent CDP gives DRM free GOG chance to even exists. Sony would close it 5 minutes after signing papers.

 

[rofif]

But they could be making gaas witcher and gaas cyberpunk at sony

 

[thekillergreece]

Good!

What a stupid rumor it was anyway. Sony would ruin them.

There's nothing to ruin more when CD Projekt Red already ruined themselves with the disastrous launch of CP2077.

 

[Rebootizing]

who is buying next?
