I suppose the Christmas truce is officially over.

Please do not do this to your reputation. By now you should be used to it. You say silly things, silly things are pointed out. Understanding how the stock market works is a pre-requirement to discussing it. If only a certain fraction oi the merry left wouldn't feel unburned by the simple demand to get the basic facts right. Nos stocks sold, not a zloty lost or gained.
Let me congratulate you. You're ready to call it a loss after 21 days.
Ah, what a financial visionary you must be.
Cyberpunk wasn't pushed out early for Christmas dollars it was pushed out early because of a toxic work environment where management doesn't want to hear about problems from devs.
How would you know the reasons why the game was released when it was released?
Based on a report of St. Jason, Saint Patron of Workers rights, who - let me check again - invoked
one developer complaining about management, ignoring the
two developers who publicly stood for management? Don't get me wrong. I think there's good reason to think the game suffered from problems in that regard. But I am couching that in the broadest, most generic language possible because so little is known.
Last time I checked, CDPR have 1,100 staffers. Jason's contacted 12. Everything he says someone else said is therefore necessarily true and representative of how the collective feels. I just cannot fathom different opinions existing among one thousand developers. Once you cherry-pick with enough commitment to anti-objectivity, the result will please you.
For the nth time, developers work at CDPR. They don't manage CDPR. I know, I know, you bought that broken record on a flea market and now you have to play it on repeat. As if Adam Badowski, who is a member of the board, and therefore as upper management as it gets, isn't also game director, Game Director, and as such a developer in his own right. But of course, to those stuck in 19th century Victorian England, the evil oppressors are barely human and the oppressed are always competent and diligent beyond belief.
If only the oppressors would get out of the way.
And there's that spooky word again, "toxic", that encompasses the evils of the world in 5 brief letters. From masculinity, to crunch, to Death Cap mushrooms.
All are toxic. The world itself is toxic.
Say what you want to say. Don't hide behind vague tentative language that's all the rage at the moment.
A culture of crunch, deadlines, bandaid quick fixes, and employees that don't feel comfortable advocating for more time when they need it.
Oh, deadlines!
How dare they?!
Deadlines are outrageous, I say.
You can read minds? Your psychic abilities allow you to know developers don't "
feel comfortable advocating for more time"? How do you know this? You attend meetings? You got hold of some juicy transcripts? Zoom calls?
Please, something factual. Anything. The short stories creative writing forum has relocated somewhere else.
