OmegaX: In my opinion CDPR, should fire whoever hired this "third party" that was supposed to handle the new forums for having such poor judgement.

AudreyWinter: They finally did. At least that's what I read out of the last news.
They fired the third party company that was supposed to make the new forums and they have hired a new one to take its place. I haven't read that they fired the person from CDPR that was responsible for hiring them in the first place, you know the person whose poor judgment costed the company money and customer loyalty. I admit that I haven't being in touch with all that has happened this past week but this is what I gather from what I've read on the witcher.com site.

Even if they did fire that person, I doubt they would ever announce it in any official capacity. Seems like a private, internal thing, and that's assuming that the person who did the hiring is even considered culpable--haven't you ever hired someone with a good reputation who ends up getting in over their heads and making things worse? You can get blindsided by incompetence, even when hiring trustworthy companies.

I really doubt that someone chose a new company to make the new forums. More than likely they went with someone they've used before, only to be surprised by that company's inability to implement whatever new features they intended to add.

That's just an assumption, of course, but I have trouble believing that CDPR would use less discretion when it comes to something PR-related than I would use hiring a plumber.

Apologies, I misread your comment. Probably because I only thought they should fire the company that screwed up, not the person who couldn't know this would happen. We don't have enough facts to start firing RED's ;)
I don't care who gets fired, I just want an official forum, and the ability to merge my Witcher profile with this one that I had to create to register the new game like we were told months ago would happen.

You're doing this to spite me...
I think CDPR staff is really tightly knit like they don't just let anyone in that's why the're pretty small which is good. hopefully they'll get alot more money and people after their Xbox release.

You were all like, "I haz no faiths in teh CDPR!"

And they were all like, "Woo-pah! Now we iz undermining you as punishment for ur lack of trust in us."

And you were all like, "Oh noes!"

Now I'm all, "LOLOLOLOLOL."

Hm. Can't imagine why my novels keep getting rejected by publishing companies. My ability to craft stories clearly surpasses even Homer. Anyway, having one of the RED ones come on here and say "July" is definitely good. A little extra confirmation never hurt anyone.

BTW. This whole discuss thing is temporary, so when we launch new forums it will be all gone. Also, you can rest assured that moderation and rules will be enforced as well from day one.
