frogthroat: Surely no one can be that kind of person who knows about the theft and still demands updates now.

JakobFel: Hah, I sincerely doubt that CDPR made the hacking story up. They can't win even when they do everything right because gamers have become spoiled brats these days. Maybe I'm cynical but I didn't doubt it for one minute, knowing how pathetic gamers can be nowadays.

frogthroat: I don't know if you have heard, but in February CDP had hackers stealing their source code for Thronebreaker, The Witcher 3 RTX, Cyberpunk 2077, Redengine, and also their employee data. All their computers were compromised and that halted development immediately.

Employees had to go and change their bank details and everything because all their personal data was stolen as well.

The data was sold and now there is a torrent going around with all that stuff and they are selling or begin selling the password to the torrent package.

Expect delays because of these sad individuals who stole their work. I am sure you were just oblivious of what has happened. Surely no one can be that kind of person who knows about the theft and still demands updates now.

Abishia: i don't believe it that much.

Software engineering is what they do for a living it's like saying CIA got hacked.....
or the baker starved to death.

see the problem?.
the whole hacking story sounds fake

chmegma: i do not think it was a lie, but i no longer care

either their security was crap (as sems to be the case with many iof these big companies) or one of their employees idiotically let someone in

i had a little sympathy at first, but that is a 100% their problem thing. i am sitting with a patch that cannot be applied because it is asking for 300+ g of space for the 30+ g patch. i have asked and the only response i get is to use their bs galaxy.

no

fix your damn game or give me back my money

Nephilim88: Software DEVELOPING is not the same as network engineering, mate ;)Nephilim88: How are they supposed to get a patch out if most of the data they were working on have been stolen (along with the employees personal data)?

chmegma: did you think that they had to rebuild the game, from the code up?

Nephilim88: Of course not, surely they had back-ups of the source codes and the final build (and also maybe of the previous patches), but they may not have had the data for the newest patches backed-up yet.

Or, probably, the hackers that gained access to their infrastructure messed up their back-ups as well, bringing them effectively several months back with their progress on the game. Once a hacker is in, he/she has access to the whole network: nothing is safe.

chmegma: as the customer, i am allowed to be angry and demand a working patch

frogthroat: Yes. I see the problem: You do not understand internet.

Where have you been the past ... since the internet was invented if you don't know that data leaks, breaches and hacks are surprisingly common and affect even the biggest tech companies?frogthroat: And a working patch is coming. No one at CDPR has said they stopped working on them. It just takes time. Being angry is your choice and you can be as angry as you want even after you get the working patch.

I also would like to have the free DLCs and the expansions already. But I understand it may take time so I choose not to rise my blood pressure over it. Life if choices. If being angry is your thing, go for it.

chmegma: i like how me being angry is what you focus on.

chmegma: they have had plenty of time to fix the issue with the previous patch.

chmegma: using this exuse for it to take longer is not something that i, as a customer, am willing to except
