Welp, this takes the phrase "life imitating art" to a whole new level.

The thing is: Who could gain anything worth millions from this? I wouldn´t even pay a million to disgrace my mortal enemy.
I don’t support either side but I kinda saw this coming and I find it extremely fucking funny.
Well, if it ends up released online eventually – such things are useful for the market.
Possible they ultimately paid the ransom themselves.
It would not exactly be easy for someone else to use that code to build a new game.
Most code for internal use is not that clean, and Cyberpunk 2077 is already dodgy quality, and likely full of hacks to make it work.
God damn, some of you people are actually disgusting
The irony. I love it. Shouldn't have been devious and tried to mislead consumers
This Is just shitty.
Better check out Pacifica, i heard them Vodoo boys got some good Netrunners.
It's interesting how CD Projekt Red place their company logo on that image leaflet when they announced they got hacked. It's interesting because I made a comment about how they were using the Cyberpunk 2077 color scheme when they did their apology video, on one of YongYea video, how it looked like they weren't taking it seriously. Tells me that they read it. Now this serious hack happens and they slap their company logo on that image and seeing everyone's reaction now. I hope that company is happy. That's the last time I'm ever commenting on a CD Projekt Red topic. Ever! So clear someone from CD Projekt Red is reading my comments on YongYea's videos and feeding off from it
No sympathy from me, burn corpo trash
in some twisted way these guys are helping CDPR. maybe "CDPR" they will remember how passionate the fans are and how passionate CDPR should remain or should remain . lol
Nobody buy that lol
Haha Cd project red you where the chosen one. You have failed me, you have failed me.
Just watched your vid of you and Mike Pondsmith from 2018, aged well didn't it!
So, who's looking forward to Code Syn?
Who would actually buy this code??
phew…thank god i pirated this game
Still who tf even uses pwned and epically this day and age?
TLDR: People think source-code is a LOT more valuable than it actually is.
If CDPR wanted to mess with the the attackers, they would just go and release the source on github now, after someone already paid for the stolen version: "Oh, that? everyone else got it for free ;-)" since they didn't do that, I'm going to assume CDPR were the ones who bought the material back outside of the auction.
Controversial opinion, but even if the source + maybe even assets (were those stolen?) was legally available online, it'd not have any real impact on sales.. Most people couldn't figure out how to build it anyway (it probably requires their own custom pipeline to do in a non-painful way) and among those who could, most couldn't be bothered to.. For the last few, great, they got to play the game "for free", if ignoring the value of the time they spent getting it to build and run.. As for "custom unofficial builds", there's a market, but it's much much smaller than you'd think, most people wouldn't become aware they exist and of those who do, most wouldn't want to risk a build from some random on the internet (did he do anything to it?), and again, for those few who do.. they're already playing version that was pirated from gog..
As for the "IP" of source-code is surprisingly worthless, both for the above reasons, but also because the amount of work that goes into getting a deep understanding of an existing code-base is comparable to just doing it yourself, and pretty much no source-code has anything really amazing about it, there is no proprietary genial trade-secret algorithms in it, and if there were, it would be just as easily reverse-engineered from the commercial version of the game.
I wonder who bought the code? It's serious money you'd think that it must be a rival developer
wow CDPR is burning right now into the ground .. first the game now this … damn …
Screw em
Who cares? Billion dollar companies don't sympathize with you, why do we care about them?
Who cares if its stolen, its not art. Remember the last time a painter had a patent on a technique? Me either. Its a job they get paid to do. It got stolen? Why devs care? They got paid already
May be CD projekt Red is trying to get some Empathy by spreading fake cyber attack news?
I wonder what EA Games is going to do with that source code!
My dog did it..she must be stopped
I think source code roaming somewhere in the net would be much better than the company goes bankrupt then forgotten in the eternity.
Who knows? someone might take over to make a 'good' version of the game?
Sounds like LulSec or HK to me
All games are released like this now cos gamers are stupid and want to shout from the rooftops I got It I got it and all they get is a broken mess and a big hit in the bank account stop buying broken games being released and they will stop releasing unfinished games

the millionaire suits that run cdpr will literally not feel any of this. the ground-level devs will be the one to suffer.
Should this have happened? No absolutely not,it's a crime. But saying that I have no sympathy for CDPR.
I hate people.
Two wrong don't make a right until the first wrong is never fixed and always repeated, to an expectation of always being done then the second wrong needs to be done.
6:01 – Isn't a "Gwarantor" a monster in Witcher 3? You know, the one that acts as a guarantee?
Maybe they'll release mods to fix the game lol
Great upload YongYea, as always, you deliver an outstanding account of what transpired. Personally, I'm a HUGE fan of CDPR's work and honestly loved CP2077. I think CDPR absolutely did the right thing here by letting the world know what has happened as if CDPR decided to deal with this quietly, and HelloKitty announced that CDPR has tried to deal with this quietly we would all be thinking that they had something to hide (i.e our personal data ect).
Cdpr have had a hard couple months. Kinda sad really as i think they do truly care and have passion behind their projects and are capable (and have proven) to make great content. Hope later on in the year they bounce back with cyberpunk dlc, updates, next gen version as well as the witcher 3 next gen version
Tbh after the death threats, its no wonder they released the game unfinished. And then people get so upset about a game that wasnt ready, I mean, what did you people expect? This shit is wack.
Humans are despicable beings.
No matter how disappointed someone is by CP 2077, this is just animalistic behaviour. By that I mean people who support this whole thing.
Cd projekt red got cyberpunked
CDPR are only just beat by Discord by how cringe their messages are.
This sucks big time.
Lol this like out of a movie, CDR trying to cover its tracks from investigation by deflecting it on inside job hacking. Who wants to steal a bad source code when modders can do a better job fixing the game.
Imagine working on a game for countless hours, silently hating yourself for going into the development industry and suddenly seeing it and maybe your personal info get sold on the darkweb lmao
I love CD project red but I'm starting to think they let this happen so they don't have to fix the game they'll just blame it on hackers now
hell yeah, respect to Hello Kitty! you are ROCK!
