Yet Cyberunk is more popular than entire Witcher series.
*sigh*
Its true that it made more money, and mostly from pre orders and day 1 sales. Thanks to overhyped viral marketing that misrepresented the tired game mechanics, includng lack of any real rpg elements (6 diverging paths that u choose between in the last mission?…what a joke), and a hugely unsatisfying story that was designed soley to highlight a movie star.
I consider it a flop. But it did rake in cash. So…woohoo for cdpr?
sure…Larian can go the CDPR route—-overpromise and underdeliver but make a huge ton of money by doing it.
They could totally do that. I hope they don’t tho.
Let moronic frat boys with more money than sense enjoy cheap GTA knockoffs like Cyberpunk. Let the rest of us have quality games with good replay value and deep stories to enjoy!
Where are you guys getting your data?
The Witcher 3 has sold 50 Million copies to date.
Cyberpunk 2077 has sold 17 Million copies to date.
In regards to Witcher 3 - The popularity of the Netflix show has repeatedly brought the game to a wider and wider audience and so it has had sales booms whenever there is a new season.
However, here is the thing about CDPR, they are in a bad situation with Cyberpunk 2077. They screwed up the launch and so Cyberpunk is going the way of Fallout 76, slow death and they have lost the trust of the gaming community. So do they put more money into fixing Cyberpunk 2077 which may not translate to additional sales or just drop it like a bad burrito? It's a lose/lose situation they created for themselves.
Maybe they will go the way of Steam and go all in on their mediocre game platform GoG, or focus more on Mobile games like with Gwent, Thronebreaker, and Witcher: Monster Slayer. They also have a next-gen upgrade for The Witcher series coming out this year. So it sounds like they are going to milk the big winning platform - The Witcher - for all its worth and not focus on creating a new IP or fixing Cyberpunk. They say they are going to "fix Cyberpunk 2077" but they cancelled the Co-Op and multiplayer modes so I don't put much faith in them at this point.
