Wouldn’t surprise me at all. Witcher and Cyberpunk are huge brands and they drive a lot of interest, and they move consoles.

Days gone 2 is dead giveaway, considering Sony is refusing to greenlight the project.
Especially with this news.

Sony has no bone to pick with Days Gone. The former game director seems to have a bone to pick with Sony though, considering all the whining.

Yeah... I don't see Sony keep the no DRM part if they get ahold of GOG though...

Actually this might confirm it even more. Think about it. He said it could've released this year if Sony werent a bunch of dicks 4 years ago, but that doesnt mean it wont release in the next few years and Sony might've given them the greenlight now after seeing its success on PC.

Green lighting days gone 2 after they cleaned the studio out of its writers, producers and cteators is a peak fuck you moment after how vocal they have been that Sony screwed them...
That would be one way to send a message to them.

Sony is picky with their content reception.
They want top quality games to be associated with their brand. It's why they didn't greenlight the game early.

It was always a top quality game to the majority of consumers. Only critics had beef with it because it was "too white".

If they do that, there will be a riot in the streets.

According to him, the guys at Sony aways look down on the development of Days Gone. If true is no wonder he would be mad at them.
Also, I'm willing to believe in him since Sony is orgasmic in favor of looking for metacritic scores and modern reviewers rather than the actual games.

Hopefully not. They will ruin GOG and I'll be pissed if Witcher/Cyberpunk are exclusive to PS and I need to wait for a PC version.
CDPR should tell Sony to fuck off.

You think Sony is going to be selling games, including their own first party titles, DRM free? lol
It is a good store but if this happens I expect they will gut it out and only use the tech behind it to build their own store.

The game was somewhat bland and kept dragging itself.
The director also left the studio due to his personality.

Much of it is nonsense. His tweets were pretty normal but tweeter and woke people found his words "disturbing". You may get some acknowledgment on the other forum.

That is the downside for a big acquisition like that. Us consumers lose certain things because of it.
GOG will be riddled with a lot of drm games.

Or if Sony bought them they could improve them? The Witcher games are incredibly popular and despite the issues with Cyberpunk at launch they have turned it around and there are loads of people who are looking forward to the expansion and the sequel.

Maybe sony agrees with the critics ...

The guy didn't blame himself for the state of the game and attacked everything else.
You don't do that as a director of a big game. His personality was also disruptive to the company according to himself.
Guy was self destructing any chance for a sequel.

I'm not sure Sony will have time frankly, they're currently set to buy Take-Two, Capcom, and Square Enix. After those deals close, I suspect Tencent, Epic Games, Activision Blizzard, EA, and Ubisoft are their next acquisitions. Not sure how CD Project Red fits into their clear strategy.

If acquisition leaks then it is not happening.

I wish they don't.
I want cdpr to be independent. Devs like that do wonders when they work alone outside of big influence.
Them and remedy are testimony what a talent can do without any restraining.

Sony saw the Cyberpunk launch and didn't want to feel left out.

Fake news, the Bend studio manager didn't want to pitch Days Gone 2 to Sony and pitched instead the new IP they are working on right now. Sony said that they'll pause acquisitions for a while and decreased their remianing budget they had for this year to $140M, and said they'll continue with acquisitions in the mid to long term.

I wouldnt be mad so long as the games still come to pc. Microsoft scooped up much of the wrpg industry. Makes sense that sony wants a piece of that pie

Not sure who this "source/leaker" is?
There's no way multi-billion dollar acquisitions get leaked like this anyway.
