CDPR will pay bonuses to Cyberpunk 2077 devs, regardless of game scores

CD Projekt RED executives took responsibility for the launch of Cyberpunk 2077 , marked by numerous bugs on PS4 and Xbox One. An email would have been sent to the devs to guarantee the payment of bonuses, regardless of the title's performance among critics. Previously, the Polish company said that employees would receive a “bug” if the specialized media acclaimed the game.

The information was released by Bloomberg journalist Jason Schreier. So far, the game has an average of 90 on Metacritic (PC version), but if that number dropped it could influence the reward received by the producers. This will no longer happen, according to a message from Adam Badowski, the company's creative director.

Initially we had a bonus system that was focused on the game's notes and release date, but after consideration, we believe that the measure is not fair under these circumstances. We underestimated the timelines and complexity involved to make this a reality, and yet, you did everything in your power to deliver a special and ambitious game.

Schreier claims to have tried to contact a representative of CD Projekt RED to comment on the case but received no response.

The launch of Cyberpunk 2077

Cyberpunk 2077 debuted last Thursday (10), with good numbers: eight million people acquired the title in pre-sale, being enough to cover the costs of the entire development. However, the huge amount of bugs was the target of complaints from fans and the shares of CD Projekt RED fell by almost 30% as a result.
