What was the update on that potential hostile takeover?

They already have 2 teams - 1 working on C2077 and one building Gwent, but they want to have 2 more in the long term.
There never was one. Their meetings about restructuring were preemptive to prevent the possibility of future hostile takeover attempts.What was the update on that potential hostile takeover?
I personally Hope they'll start their own completely original IP where we'll be able to see how good they are at creating something new with out being in any way limited in story,characterization and setting from someone else's previous work.I've been theorizing that Witcher 4 is in pre-production and has been for a bit now. I'm pretty sure that is the 2021 AAA game. During one of their conference calls they kinda hinted at it saying something like "a game their fanbase would be familiar with" or something along those lines.

Hold up, is this real? I thought this was just a joke?

Yeah, someone saw what they were doing and recognized it as the type of moves you make to fight off a hostile takeover. A couple days later they put out a statement that it was purely preventative.Oh, I see. I just remembered seeing something about that a while back. Looks like I just misread it.
I'd be down for that as well, but you also have to think about the business side of things. Witcher 3 was an enormous success for them the likes of which CDPR have never experienced before. And for a ton of people it's the first Witcher game they've ever played.
Witcher 4 would do enormous business for them, and is far too safe a bet to just let go.

This kinda makes me sad, and I hope it isn't true. CDPR haven't been particularly safe so far. They kept pushing themselves forward like no other developer, and I'd hate for that to stop now that they've found their pedestal. I love TW3, and the franchise in general, but I really hope that after CP77 they'll do something of their own. Or at least not something in TW's world again. They have a ton of creativity there. Utilize it for something new. Something that isn't a safe bet.I'd be down for that as well, but you also have to think about the business side of things.

As a Polish guy, music to my ears. I hope Cyberpunk 2077 turns out great and they can continue to grow.
Surprising amount of people on the internet still think CDPR is some kind of small developer in the boonies. Maybe that view can finally change.
Also, I hope their next project reflects their increased value. Cyberpunk 2077 is my most anticipated game and I am beginning to wonder if it would even see the light of day on this generation of consoles.
Yeah France is really the outlier here. And then it is probably the UK that has the biggest concentration of talent studios.
Italy, Spain, Greece and Portugal are big markets but also don't have a lot of big studios.
I can think of MercurySteam (Spain) but that is about it.
Taleworlds is Turkish but that is not really "europe" in the traditional sense.
Wait, the Wiki says Cyberpunk 2077 is going to be on XBO/PS4. Is that right?
I was under the impression it was still largely under development, and had more than a few years to go, possibly making it more of a launch title for the next console generation.
2077 will likely be a Current Gen console game by the time it releases though it could be a Pro/Scorpio only game of course. They also have a 2nd RPG scheduled to be released by 2021. Whatever Mystery RPG is will be based on Nextgen I'm sure

To be fair I think one could argue that there are already more/bigger developers in eastern(which is actually central, but whatever) than western europe.
Poland has CDProject Red, Techland, 11bit Studios, City Interactive(they produce budget games, but those are still fairly well known), Flying Wild Hog, People Can Fly, Reality Pump(Two Worlds).
Ukraine has 4A games, Frogwares and Ubisoft Kiev.
Czech republic has 2K Czech, Warhorse Studios, Bohemia Interactive.
What does Germany have? Nothing really aside from the failing Crytek and mobile / adventure studios.
France is strong though. And the North, which I wouldn't qualify as "western europe" however.
CD Projekt's value has risen to over $1.6 billion, making it worth more than Capcom.
