CD Projekt robbed, thieves threaten to spoil Cyberpunk 2077

I don't think CDPR cares about this too much. If anything, it's some nice free advertisement. ;)

This.

Also,unfortunately,most of the time the "thieves" are internal

Come on! That can't be true!

However, I like how CD Project reacted

what a bad news,

I like their reaction. They won't be blackmailed and pay to get back something that's their's.

I think it will be resolved soon

Said it in the first thread on the topic, good on them for handling it the way they do; I think they'll get more positives from it than negatives.

(Also, a little jaded part of me wonders if it's real and not just a clever marketing ploy. But I do think it's real.)

they would not negotiate with the thieves.

haha! that will show them who is the boss, even when you have now power or control of the situation...

What if the story of Cyberpunk 2077 is about a hacker who got the sources of a new game whos blackmailing and threaten to release the sources to the public if their company does not pay ransom.

and all of these is a nice PR marketing trick !

:) Mind blown

Wow that last comment was mind blowing (?

But then if this is real i applaud the way they acted because nobody should pay for something that belong to u period.
Sadly history has teach us that when this thing are real they never end up with thieves giving up and abandon their threats on the contrary like if it was a human kidnap they are going to release am image/video teasing and increasing the ransom otherwise.... you know the rest.
Is sad that this things happen on movie industry or videogame industry as well, but i think is better to ask ransom for something digital than a living human being, so is a contradictory feeling if u know what i mean.
The worst part is being taken by bitcoins system making it an untraceable currency allowing thieves to get away with it, therefore creating a lot of negative feedback to the crypto currency.
let's hope it gets solved soon with the less harm possible aka less spoiler about the project itself, and if for some reason something comes out i surely won't see it, i don't want to get spoiled by any means just see the result of the development.
