What we do requires 100%, actually 200% commitment. We are not into buying and owning IPs just for the sake of buying and owning them.<\/p>\n<p>We actually were approached by a lot of people with really cool IPs that we love to make a game, but we said \u201cHey, if we do something we have to have full creative control, we have to own the IP\u201d, but again, for the sake of full creative control. <em>Cyberpunk<\/em> was a choice from the heart, I think also it was just good karma because we just had a great opportunity to acquire the rights, but I think we\u2019ll stop here for a while.<\/p>\n<p>We are committed. We\u2019ll take as much time as needed and we want to make it huge. That\u2019s what\u2019s on our mind.<\/p>\n<p>If we invest into something, and I\u2019m talking about investing our time, we have to focus because we cannot do it right if we\u2019ll do even two or three things at the same time. It\u2019s just not possible and it\u2019s really regardless of how many people we have on board. It\u2019s a mentality thing, a little bit like Rockstar \u2013 why there isn\u2019t a game [from Rockstar] every single year? There is a reason for that.<\/p>\n<p>You can have a different model, the <em>FIFA<\/em> model, the <em>Call of Duty<\/em> model, the <em>Assassin\u2019s Creed<\/em> model, but I don\u2019t think it\u2019s our model.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>This kind of approach from CD Projeckt RED has yielded fantastic results with\u00a0<em>The Witcher\u00a0<\/em>franchise and has led the studio down the road to a great deal of success.<\/p>\n<p>Perhaps, this is why Ubisoft has dropped\u00a0the yearly development cycle of the\u00a0<em>Assassin&#8217;s Creed\u00a0<\/em>games.<\/p>\n<p>CD Projekt RED&#8217;s approach just makes sense to us. You just have to look at the quality of the games they have released to the market.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h4><strong>Source: <a href=\"http:\/\/wccftech.com\/cdpr-cyberpunk-2077-time-needed-huge-stop\/\" target=\"_blank\">WCCFTech<\/a><\/strong><\/h4>\n<h3 class=\"my-4\"><strong>More On Cyberpunk 2077<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><a title=\"Permalink to Cyberpunk 2077 is done when it\u2019s done, says CD Projekt RED\" href=\"http:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/news\/84317-cyberpunk-2077-is-done-when-its-done-says-cd-projekt-red.html\" rel=\"bookmark\">Cyberpunk 2077 is done when it\u2019s done, says CD Projekt RED<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a title=\"Permalink to CD Projekt RED reportedly shooting for 2016 release date for Cyberpunk 2077\" href=\"http:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/news\/84297-cd-projekt-red-reportedly-shooting-for-2016-release-date-for-cyberpunk-2077.html\" rel=\"bookmark\">CD Projekt RED reportedly shooting for 2016 release date for Cyberpunk2077<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a title=\"Permalink to Cyberpunk 2077 gets a sexy trailer\" href=\"http:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/news\/49249-cyberpunk-2077-gets-a-sexy-trailer.html\" rel=\"bookmark\">Cyberpunk 2077 gets a sexy trailer<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It&#8217;s all about quality over quantity for CD Projekt RED.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":224,"featured_media":87378,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_sma_x_autopost_enabled":true,"_sma_x_custom_text":"","_sma_x_autopost_status":"idle","_sma_x_autopost_error":"","_sma_x_post_id":"","_sma_x_attempts":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[2122,7293,1969,1093,2155],"class_list":["post-87376","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-business","tag-cd-projekt-red","tag-cyberpunk-2077","tag-news-2","tag-the-witcher","tag-the-witcher-3"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/87376","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/224"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=87376"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/87376\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/87378"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=87376"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=87376"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=87376"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
