I'm gonna confess that I finished the first and second game with pirated copies. After I got a better job and had more disposable income I bought both game, full price on Steam (as many other games I remember playing like that).
Exactly, he made a great speech about the situation and their stance. I'm gonna buy the Witcher 3 to support amazing people like him and the amazing work those dev do.
not just that.. they know why people play the games... they want to be entertained with good stories.. and not something that will last 5-6 hours but asks for full price.. for me, CDPR is the No1 game developer.
By giving away a few bucks of free content, CD Projekt Red has guaranteed themselves a lifetime of sales from me, regardless of the title, & I vowed I would never pirate their games.
Same. I live in eastern Europe and I'm pretty broke (even by eastern standards) and I admit that I sometimes pirate games but I would never, ever do that with a CDPR game. They're fair with their customers and their games are definitely worth the money.
CDPR has by far the best approach towards the gaming community when compared to other large game development studios :) GJ Marcin and keep it up guys !
NEuRO Sarnum Take a close look at EA and Ubisoft.....yeah you'll never find such a fair game company xD I only bought Witcher 2 in my life...twice, I plan on buying Witcher 3 but eh, running short on money lately so maybe around Christmas its mine :D
Always love the interviews with CD Projekt RED. They seem both humble and confident and it shows in both their products and conversations. They are always listening to the fans, always seeking improvement but also trusting their own creative abilities and independent spirit. They take their time and it shows. Quality will trump piracy any day.
The Witcher Wild Hunt is a masterpiece true work of art I will always support CD projekt Red with my hard-earned money rpg games are the best patiently waiting on cyberpunk 2077.
"never say never" - hell. yeah. :) Would be amazing if say in 5-10 years CDP started teasing about a return of a certain white haired legend and then brought Geralt back as playable protagonist on new adventures, with all the characters we know and love. Great interview!
Great, very interesting interview! I love how CD Projekt works, their attitude and beliefs. They're so focused on pleasing the customer and they really make an effort to understand what players want and how the business works -no matter if we're talking about their games or GoG, it's great to see & I'm glad that they sold this much and made profit. They really deserve it. I hope we'll see a lot more titles from CD Projekt in the future!
So, wait. These guys aren't driven by short-term profits, they provide free content to their customers, they understand what drives piracy and aren't using the government as a club, they emphasize on hiring local help, and they are willing to train their people? I don't believe it. We're being punked, right?
And exactly because they are like this (super awesome) and made best game ever i bought the game even if i had pirated version before it. Best fucking dev team in the world.
I'm not gonna lie.. I pirated tw3 when I played it.. It is because I don't know whether my pc could support this game.. After playing it on my pc, (works like charm) I suddenly regretted that I'm ripping their hard work and sweat... I felt very pathetic for my actions.. They didn't deserve this.. They deserve better, no.. They deserve MORE!! I'm gonna buy this on gog the next time I play it.
Kudos. The Witcher 3 is the best game I've played this generation of consoles. What CDProjekt did was incredible. The share size of the game, the level of detail, all the stories, that have different outcomes and ending. You can tell when a developer loves what they do and despite the constant updating on consoles, I appreciated that the game got better and better. By time they got to the DLC the game is tremendous. I can't wait to see what they do next. Cyberpunk? Doesn't matter since they know what they are doing and like Rockstar, the attention to detail is tremendous. Finally a company that make single player AAA epic games, great story and great gameplay that will be better than anything multiplayer. Please no MP. We have way too many of them especially the awful add-ons taking away from the game....except R*
I do the pirate thing sometimes, but mostly it's just because some games run so shitty, I don't want to pay full price for a game that my machine can't run properly, or is laden with bugs. Even though Steam refund is a thing, it's a short duration before you are ineligible for the refund, often too short to know if the game runs well. If it's game I put time into and enjoy it, I always make a point to buy it at a later date.
Fuck no. Take Vermintide for example. The combat system is so unique that it takes like 40 hours of game play to even recognize when your hit registry is failing. There is lots of random glitches in the game too that happen about once every 5 games. Unfortunately, you can't pirate a multiplayer only game, so whatever, I got stung on that purchase.
Jeremy Alexander Where in the world do you live where you can only test drive a car for few minutes before buying it. So you don't think my reasons are valid? You think it's OK for companies to sell you complete garbage and broken promises. Can't tell if you're just trolling me or have a legitimate argument here.
I always like people calling pirates names. What does it matter to you? Those people will not buy the game anyway, so whats the point. Why u get so mad if someone is stealing if its not from u? Or ur mad that u pay for it and others not?
@White Shadows Where to start. First, thieves who pirate games and never actually buy it increase the cost for the rest of us. Second, game producers, like CDPR, who actually want to make great games and treat their customers well are damaged significantly by pirates, which causes them to, at the very least, delay ambitious projects, like TW3. Third, piracy forces companies to turn into corporate hacks because they need to show their shareholders that they are taking a firm stance. Lastly, since when is stealing okay? I can empathize with people who can't afford to buy games, and most decent people will at least try to pay for the game when they can, whether that is right away or once they have the money. Decent people also feel shame for pirating games and only do it once in awhile when they are desperate. They don't downplay piracy or even encourage it.
I must confess: i download the pirated version of witcher 3 and played for 2 mouths, after that i bought all the witcher games with all DLCs and i'm still playing it, probably many did the same :)
I used to pirate games because i was tired of getting fooled all the time. I pirated both the first and second Witcher game. After playing the second one for about two hours i decided it was worth it and bought it. I also went back and bought the first one, not to play, but to support the company. I'm still not a fan of the first game, and i'm probably never going to play it, but i'm very happy that i bought it. They earned my trust, so when witcher 3 was about to come out i bought it straight away. The fact that they now sell DRM-Free games on GoG Galaxy have earned my loyalty, if possible i now only buy games from GoG. I do think most people who pirate games are people who have a very limited gaming budget, and in my life, those people buy the games they like.
They are making a Game of The Year version. It includes all the DLC with the game and I think it's only 60 bucks. If it's not 60 bucks CDPR always put their games on sale to help people who can't afford the game get it.
First business of Cd Projekt CEO was buying games in the western europe, pirate them and sell them on local markets on the stadiums, undergrounds etc. Thats how he earned his first money and this is the reason he doesn't hate pirates - he used to be one.
If I'm enough wealthy to buy a game that I woud like to play whole day - I'm definitly buying it, either way if I've not money or if I'm from some African poor country and I can't buy a game despite its goodness - I simply cannot buy it and have to download illegally. So these guys have made right decision and plus have gamers' love as well as pirates' love. PS if you have enough money to pay off for this game and you won't be left hungry for tomorrow - you have to buy it.
its not a big problem becuse alot of us use pirating games as a demo to see if the game is good. personally i have ended up buying about 80% of all games i have pirated. the rest 20% is games that simply wasent for me or was just plain out shitty

@@whatafuckingnick yeah but 3 years ago I was a broke fuck and now I just landed a job I actually love doing (software development) and can afford things Now that I can afford it, I bought most games I thoroughly enjoyed in my years of being broke
14:54 : seriously, i just bought another damn copy of there game. When you say shit like that and actually aren't a douche bag company. You get my money, Please stop being bad ass CDPR
Вот за такое эти разработчики с их игрой заслуживают такую награду и маст хэв игра! Не жалко купить и нужно покупать в ГОГ если хочу поиграть (точно не буду разочарован)! Если они поступили бы как Рокстар с ГТА5 таких успехов не было бы я думаю.
This guy's horrible at interviewing. Anyway beyond that I'm completely for pirating a game to demo it for a bit then making your decision to purchase it or not. If not then uninstalling it. I don't see a problem with that.
I'm gonna confess that I finished the first and second game with pirated copies. After I got a better job and had more disposable income I bought both game, full price on Steam (as many other games I remember playing like that).
ThatFeelBr0 I respect that. I bought all 3 at GOG tho. To support them directly.
Same thing here, i played all the games with pirated copies, as soon as i got money... i bought all of it and played again.
Hats off to this guy... He Understand why people pirating a game...

The Witcher 3 was the first game that i have ever bought with my money.
Hahaha same here man, and I'm poor af... but pirating from a company like CD Projekt Red just didn't sink in.
CDPR have taken the number 1 spot for best developer on the planet (previously held by Valve).

Świetny wywiad :)
CD Projekt is the best.
I just bought the game because CD projekt is awesome people! BUT STILL WAITING FOR 2077!!! GIVE ME SOMETHING TO EAT!!
Even though you could pirate the DLCs, I don't have the heart to do it, these people are just too nice to be cheated on.
Many times it's not the heart, it's the money

two hours isn't enough for you to get a feel of how the game runs?

Is there a way to repair those subs? First few sentences are terribly rewriten.
Did not pirate the game did not brought the game just yet, cos gamewroks.
Maybe will buy it in future the whole package -75%

I don't really agree with him. If games won't have DRM then I'm never buying a game again
Why is CDPR so much worse than Bethesda?
what
are you out of your mind?
+kezicss nah. they really need to shape up. Bethesda created a better game with half as many staff members
What game are you talking about RxIxPDawkter
+kezicss fallout 4 of course
