Zwykle nie komentujemy plotek, jednak ta o sprzedaży naszego studia zatoczyła już za duże kręgi i czas ją zdementować. W imieniu swoim i całego zarządu oznajmiam: Nie, nie prowadzimy rozmów dotyczących sprzedaży CD PROJEKT RED ani GOGa.
A przy okazji, dokument potwierdzający wiarygodność źródła nie jest prawdziwy...

Usually we don't comment on rumours, but it's time to deny the one about takeover because it spread too far. In the name of the board, I would like to state: No, we are not in any talks about the sale of CD PROJEKT RED or GOG. Also, the document verifying the identity/credentials of the source is not real.

Edit: Eurogamer has an article with Iwinski saying the same thing: http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2...egarding-selling-cd-projekt-red-or-gog-period

Can't believe we had to go "official" to silence the rumours. People were still doubting in spite of tweets and that forum post.

 

[The Dear Leader]

Well that's a relief.

 

[Jolkien]

Today I learned démenti is useable in English. French is my mother's tongue.

 

[Mivey]

Damn it! I was looking forward to a Geralt cameo in the next Dragon Age.
He would thrust right in.

Well, they had to do it, because it may have affected their stock. Someone bought over 80 000 shares this morning alone.

 

[Yabberwocky]

Damn it! I was looking forward to a Geralt cameo in the next Dragon Age.
He would thrust right in.

A combination of Geralt and Morrigan might beat out Geralt and Yennefer on the fierce power couple front.

 

[Madness]

What's that saying, 'a lie can travel halfway around the world before the truth can even put its boots on'? It's crazy how fast the social media era spreads misinformation. My saying itself is a misattributed quote that has been described into different words over the past centuries. Crazy that some random anon can cause them to release an official statement like this because people actually believed it.

He would plough em all!

 

[Alcoholikaust]

Anyone who thought the rumor had any weight needs their head examined.

 

[KainXVIII]

"We don't comment on rumours and speculation, except when the collective gamer internet are acting like colossal fucking dumbasses."

 

[Palladium]

...

Pretentious vocabulary is pretentious.

Anyway, thank god.

 

[kurahador]

So basically, it's actually just publishing right for Cyberpunk.

 

[Triggerhappytel]

Anyone who thought the rumor had any weight needs their head examined.

Agree; the whole thing was ridiculous and completely implausible.

 

[boskee]

Pretentious vocabulary is pretentious.

Anyway, thank god.

It's a standard word used in Polish language when talking about company denying something. My deepest apologies for insulting you with this pretentious vocabulary.

 

[Renekton]

Vivienne would hate the Lodge so very much.

Alistair making fun of Geralt's "herbs" and comparing Witcher to Warden enrollment death rates.

Geralt ploughing both Morrigan and her mum.

 

[Elios83]

It's a bit weird that they're denying it so strongly honestly.
The stock usually goes up when there's a rumor of a possible acquisition by a bigger and richer company.
On the contrary the public leak of early negotiations (if they exist) could make them seem really unprofessional in the eyes of their potential business partners.
Who knows....maybe it's nothing and all the EA rumor was totally made up but quite frankly I think they will become the target of acquistions in the future.
They have proven they can make games that sell million units, that are praised by the critics and all that done with a small budget for the scale of the project.
Every big publisher should keep an eye on them and once the offerings go up it's difficult to say no and stay independent. We'll see though.

 

[Agent_4Seven]

Thank god for.... CDPR.

 

[PranooY]

Anyone who thought the rumor had any weight needs their head examined.

Like this guy?

 

[purdobol]

Too soon. Not enough speculation threads popped up and they always fun to read.
I'm disappointed in you CDPR.

 

[Yabberwocky]

Vivienne would hate the Lodge so very much.

...Geralt and Flemeth?! Ohgod. He probably would, too. Flemeth definitely would.

 

[Xiao Hu]

It's a standard word used in Polish language when talking about company denying something. My deepest apologies for insulting you with this pretentious vocabulary.

Same in German

 

[Fractal]

Still not enough investors and shareholders for me to believe it's fake.

 

[MrCunningham]

I can accept EA as just a publisher.

 

[Alcoholikaust]

Like this guy?

to my credit my first post the cat gif was a denial gif not an accepting gif

LMAO

 

[oldboss]

Just ignore thé ignorant.

 

[LonelyGreyWolf]

It was a completely baseless rumour with no viable sources. When will GAF learn not to believe in random bs heard on the internet? This isn't the first time GAF had a meltdown over some unlikely rumour, lol.

démenti
deɪˈmɒ̃ti/
noun
an official denial of a published statement.

That makes the word "Official" in the title redundant.

 

[BronzeWolf]

 

[Mendax]

interesting

 

[Spiritwalker]

That's quite the relief, indeed. EA would destroy them.

 

[oldboss]

interesting

Be nice

 

[Alessandro]

Dementi stands for mentally ill people in Italian.

 

[Coreda]

When will GAF learn not to believe in random bs heard on the internet?

 

[pizzacat]

Hope EA looks at this and goes "We'll see about that"

 

[Hyun Sai]

interesting

In french, "langue" got 2 meanings, tongue, and language. ^^

 

[boskee]

Same in Polish and in this case English, but it should be "mother tongue", not "mother's tongue".

 

[SpacePirate Ridley]

So it was a similar guy to the gaf member that had internal info about the witcher 3 going to be crap? Why im not surprised...
I dont understand why the people creating rumours about cdpr are people that want the company burned down. Some fanatical stupid people or other companies paying people to create bad publicity for a succesful and well loved ones is the only thing that comes to mind.

In french, "langue" got 2 meanings, tongue, and language. ^^

Same with spanish.

 

[Nugg]

Pretentious vocabulary is pretentious.

Anyway, thank god.

Don't worry, I've translated the OP for you

Rumors are bullshit, says CDPR's big boss

Rumors gonna rumors, but this one is real bad, so we're saying it's bullshit. The money guys are mad, so they want you to know that no one is buying CDPR RED or GOG right now. Also the proof is a fake, I can tell from the pixels.

 

[OEM]

Good stuff.

 

[iNvid02]

they are not in any talks because the sale already happened

IM ONTO YOU

 

[Arkhanor]

Thank God!

 

[boskee]

So I guess this is not going to happen

[Corto]

Cyberpunk publishing deal then? Let's make a fuss about that to see if they dementi that.

 

[CHC]

A relief but not a surprise. Someone just wanted to stir shit up and they were successful. I'm glad the CEO came out with a no-bullshit answer, though. It's refreshing even though it really shouldn't have to get to that point.

 

[Circinus]

Shame, that would have been interesting I think.

 

[boskee]

Cyberpunk publishing deal then? Let's make a fuss about that to see if they dementi that.

They specifically said that the payslip posted by DSO as a proof is fake. Which means that everything about this story is most likely fake, including EA representatives in their offices.

 

[RibMan]

Well that settles it then.

Thank God!

Hahaha
