CD Projekt are now valued as the second largest game company in EuropeBig gains for Geralt
Big gains for Geralt
According to a market valuation change spottedon Reddit, the Polish company’s market value has climbed to $8 billion from the $6.8 billion it was valued at last month. That’s still a fair shot behind France-based Ubisoft who are valued at $9.6 billion, though it does net them the silver medal.
Still, this is a sure sign that CD Projekt are no longer—and have not been in a few years—the scrappy little company that they once seemed. CDPR are now bringing in alarger share of their Steam sale profitson The Witcher 3.More folks were playing the gamearound the recent Netflix Show debut than they were when the game launched in 2015. CDPR are and have been on quite a roll.
Far be it from me to say they aren’t doing a swell job—I quite liked Wild Hunt myself—but perhaps this is a sign that we should treat CDPR as the big fish they are. When they announced thatCyberpunk 2077would be delayed this year, they also admitted thatemployees would need to crunch(read: overwork) to hit even the newly chosen release date in September. To the degree we’re able, we should continue taking CDPR to task for crunch culture as much as we have companies like Rockstar aroundRed Dead Redemption 2’s launch. They’re not nearly the forgivable small fish they once were.
