Even with controversy knocking on its door and its reputation taking a serious hit in the aftermath of the Cyberpunk 2077 launch, CDPR’s financials are looking better than ever thanks to sales of the beleaguered RPG.

With all hands on deck currently to fix the current mess that CDPR’s leadership pushed out, the big boss of the studio is still optimistic that Cyberpunk 2077 will be a consistent seller for years to come.

Cyberpunk 2077’s launch last year was something that experts would call “less than ideal”, with years of promotional build-up dropping the ball harder than an amateur juggler being tossed a live chainsaw during a circus act. Developer CD Projekt Red is looking to avoid a cock-up of that magnitude in the future, as the company’s strategy for future game releases is to spend less time on hype.

Is Cyberpunk 2077 still in a rough state currently, plagued by bugs and devoid of certain promised content? Absolutely. Will the game get better in time? Probably, as CD Projekt Red has been hunkering down to bring the ambitious dystopian sandbox up to speed in the wake of an infamous launch. Those updates will take time though, and in an ironic twist, even longer thanks to some real-life cyber punks hacking into CDPR’s servers and running off with valuable source code to the game.

CDPR isn’t taking the heist lying down. The company has been using the power of DMCA notices to those trying to share the code online, a tactic that’s usually reserved for stopping Metallica from playing its own music during a BlizzCon stream. For whom the bell lols.

Witcher 3 and Cyberpunk 2077 developer CD Projekt Red has been hit by a cyber attack, confirming in a statement that an unidentified actor had managed to penetrate its digital vault and make off with the source code for some of its games.

While it’s certainly not the most elegant of solutions to fix yet another Cyberpunk 2077 problem, it works when you’re in a pinch.

Cyberpunk 2077 didn’t exactly have a smooth console launch last year. PS4 and Xbox One versions of the game were an unplayable mess at best, riddled with bugs, and saddled with glitches that also infected the game on new-gen consoles. There’s a lot of work to be done at getting Cyberpunk 2077 up to snuff, that developer CD Projekt Red talked about last night.
