Ah, well if that's the case then yeah, their engine sucks!

Oh, nice! I had only heard of CDPR planning to make The Witcher Remake. Is that one of the "two other standalone games" you mentioned, or is that in addition to those plus the Cyberpunk stuff they're doing? Although in either case, Witcher Remake + 3(2?) other Witcher games + CP2077 expansion + Cyberpunk Project Orion seems like way too many projects to be working on at once...

(A quick google says CDPR is planning on making future titles in UE5, but if discussion of Witcher games/CDPR is too off-topic here, I guess reply to the... P:WotR thread? That seems to be the catch-all thread for non-BG3 games.)
