I'm more offended than I'd normally be because it's fucking CD Projekt Red. They're like, the saints of the game development world. What the hell.

EDIT: Of course there's also a chance this is marketing.

Dear gamers,

An unidentified individual or individuals have just informed us they are in possession of a few internal files belonging to CD Projekt RED. Among them are documents connected to early designs for the upcoming game, Cyberpunk 2077.

A demand for ransom has been made, saying that we should not comply, the files will be released to the general public. We will not be giving in to the demands of the individual or individuals that have contacted us, which might eventually lead to the files being published online. The appropriate legal authorities will be informed about the situation.

The documents are old and largely unrepresentative of the current vision for the game. Still, if you’re looking forward to playing Cyberpunk 2077, it would be best for you to avoid any information not coming directly from CD Projekt RED.

When the time is right, you will hear about Cyberpunk 2077 from us — officially.

CD Projekt RED Team

sounds serious. I don't think this is a marketing stunt.

I'd be amazed if what they stole is actually playable given that basically no work was done on the game until after Blood and Wine.

I read that they have sweatshop-level crunch time for their employees, like REALLY bad

I will support anything they do since they are by far the most gamer/consumer friendly company out there. Plus, Cyberpunk is great when done well.

Saw this earlier, but didn't realize that it might be a marketing thing.

If E3 wasn't right around the corner it might be more believable.
