I don't think that the company was too big back in 2014, though. If I'm not incorrect they had their big success from whitcher 3 that came out 2015. Nevertheless they have gathered a bunch of shills because gog.com had money back from regional price difference policy and they have been actively promoting their no micro-transaction policy (even though gwent) and other we respect gamers and workers populist bs and everyone fell for it.
Though I'm young I've learned that alot of the time people just scream stupid shit how someone is making so much money, but business is not that easy. It is obvious to me that making a video-game gets it cost from producing it whilest distribution is trivial, and for this making profit per game distributed is easy, but getting over that initial production cost is not, and for that companies need to price their games high in developed countries and cheap in poorer countries. Video-games are projects, not manufacturing.
Yeah, making games is neither easy nor cheap. GTA 5 is beeing estimated to have cost up to 265 million dollars. That's an insane risk a company has to make. And you don't get a single penny out of it until it's done.
But yet, CDPR always was seen as "the good guys" of game dev. They even promised (twice) to avoid crunch times and delays.
Reality struck them hard.
