They'll be fine. If there's any shortage of story content they can always reach out to consulting groups.

All Geralt needed was a more gravelly persona anyway

No no no no, this is terrible news. I assumed the Cyberpunk sequel will suck with this woke bullshit but it's sealed then. Oh well, r.i.p.

Whoever still believes CD Projekt is not deinfected needs a reality check. Probably hiring people with this profile is a condition for funding.

Maybe they left Insomniac because they don't agree with a number of things? Who knows?
Regardless, I think it's wise to not knee jerk to any extreme until we know for sure what the outcome is. Once we see their work in motion if it's gross and not good, everyone should call it out at that point.

Cyberpunk 2/ Witcher 4 all but confirmed to focus on messaging rather than exceptional gameplay/storytelling with this news….
Hard pass on these added to the hard pass on Wolverine

Thankfully, there hasn't been a shortage of LGBTQ developers over the years. We have seen incredible talents coming from the minds of people like Maddy Thorson, who created the transgender character, Madeline, in the game Celeste, Cathryn Mataga, a transgender programmer and founder of the independent video game company Junglevision, who worked on X-Men: Reign of Apocalypse as well as Spider-Man 2 and also D.E. Chaudron from Larian Studios, a queer and nonbinary video game developer who worked on Baldur's Gate 3 - to name only a few.
We Need To Pull Every Lever We Have
Kenney echoes this evidence by saying "There are so many LGBTQ developers, and we want what players want - to design experiences that tell the player we're here, we're important, and we belong." This could become increasingly difficult as we see more and more pitches turned down amid one of the worst years ever for gaming. However, Kenney remains adamant that something has to give way to allow change to happen.
"We need to pull every lever we have," Kenney says. "Characters, community support, mechanics, to make it so." It's a subject she's clearly passionate about, and her insights are thought-provoking.

So going from an associate narrative director (not lead) to just a basic writing job... this is news?

CDProjekt RED is setting up an in-house North American operation for the development of Orion, the Cyberpunk sequel, and its very likely that they're looking at poaching as most senior talent from top NA developers as possible - and Insomniac are certainly among those top-tier studios.

You can't always tell what kind of job someone has based on their job title. I have a friend who does software development for a bank and her title, along with everyone else in her department, is associate vice president. She's not a vice president and she has no executive authority. It just makes some people doing non-banking jobs at a financial services company feel better about a job with little forward internal career opportunity.From

Yeah, I think Insomniac does fine when it comes to the core narrative for a game, but what CDPR does with storytelling that happens in the world adjacent to the core narrative is, I think, probably the best around outside of MMORPGs.

The only thing that would make me interested in anything Witcher related, to be honest.
Terrible games.
