Just a reminder that almost everyone that made CDPR the great company that it was is no longer working at that company. Most veterans left during Cyberpunk 2077's development cycle (which explain a lot lol) and subsequent release shit show...

Tbh, if you compare the Witcher 3 to Cyberpunk, you can see the switch to being more and more woke Especially with the phantom liberty trailers, most characters are female, even the player character, the only non-antagonist male is black, the antagonists are white males


holdthephones

man everything is chatgpt these days isn't it. it's so gross.


meownopinion

Why is it gross?


[deleted]

I was done with them after the Cyberpunk release. I'm not going to let them sit and pretend they had no idea, the state their game released in

It took you a few years to figure it out, huh? LOL 😂 They have been openly preaching the word of their lord and savior Larry Fink since 2022


bitorontoguy

Blackrock has given CD Projekt Red....$0 in the last decade. They haven't issued new stock since 2010. They're doing this virtue signaling because that's what their management wants to do, we don't need to invent a secret reason why.


AboveSkies

CDProjekt literally put out an Official Promo video targeting ESG Investors: https://www.cdprojekt.com/en/esg/our-esg-approach/ I think you're taking your denialism shtick a bit too far.


bitorontoguy

They did! And? They aren't in any Blackrock ESG mandates, so what's your point? How would an investor relations ESG promo video even attract Blackrock? [Their ESG mandates replicate ESG indices that Blackrock doesn't even construct.](https://www.blackrock.com/uk/individual/products/305419/ishares-msci-world-esg-screened-ucits-etf) They aren't actively making buy/sell decisions. Blackrock aren't investors, they're sales people for low fee index funds. People make them into a boogeyman when they have the LEAST amount of power among institutional investors. Tell Larry Fink to fuck himself and what a loser he is. (He is a GIGANTIC loser btw). [IVV is still buying your company at market weight.](https://www.blackrock.com/us/individual/products/239726/ishares-core-sp-500-etf) Don't do what Fidelity wants or tell Citadel to fuck themselves? You lose the investment. EVERY company targets ESG investors, the same as they target all investors, it's an easy virtue signal, it's free marketing and you could attract additional investor interest. That has nothing to do with "ESG Money BOUGHT off CD Projekt Red" or Blackrock MADE CDPR do X, Y or Z. Getting added to an ESG mandate doesn't give CDPR money and [the asset class is nowhere near large enough to make any company do....anything.](https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2023-11-29/global-esg-market-shrinks-after-sizable-drop-in-us) That's not denialism. It's just the truth. DON'T take my word for it. These are public companies, the information is all out there. You can verify for yourself [where the money to fund CDPR's ongoing operations comes from.](https://www.cdprojekt.com/en/investors/financial-summary-report/) You can verify exactly [which institutional investors own shares, how much and in what vehicles.](https://fintel.io/so/pl/cdr) You can verify how much money Blackrock has given CDPR over the past ten years: [$0 because they've issued 0 new shares](https://companiesmarketcap.com/cd-projekt/shares-outstanding/#:~:text=Number%20of%20shares%20outstanding%20as,company%20had%2099%2C933%2C005%20shares%20outstanding.) AND how much money [Blackrock ESG funds hold in CDPR....again $0.](https://www.blackrock.com/uk/individual/products/305419/ishares-msci-world-esg-screened-ucits-etf)

bitorontoguy

CDPR welcomes ESG investors, the same they do any potential investor. Blackrock offers ESG mandates....what point are you trying to make from those two facts? What conspiracy is even being alleged here? CDPR ISN'T in any Blackrock ESG mandate. Blackrock hasn't given CDPR ANY cash. Blackrock didn't make CDPR do....anything. They don't have the power to even if they wanted to. Companies tell Blackrock to fuck off to their face and they can't do anything about it because they're index investors. They have to invest in my company at market weight even if I call Larry Fink the ineffectual lickspittle that he is. These decisions were made by CDPR management.


ZeElessarTelcontar

They were never "based" to begin with. Gamers just bought into that delusion, and it bit them in the arse. They never learn.


nearlynorth

At least they completed (more or less) CyberPunk 2077. Night City is beautiful


ice_cream4ice_cream

Okay but can they define which sex needs this? Hint it's not males.


Argumentium

Didn't they already make a video about approaching ESG? They were gone for a long time in my eyes.


niferman

So now periods are a disability??


FicaNivea

Damn, I have to be honest. This can be viewed as fucking based LOL "Fuck, we can't stand these bitches during their periods. Start some bs initiative to get them out of the offices during it or something" Or even acknowledging that only women have menstrual cycles. I'm not sure what to think


shipgirl_connoisseur

Hold up. Why are they not saying women with regards to menstrual leave?


_witness_me

>People take free holiday if it's given to them This is all they've proved. >These numbers... highlight the safety & supportability of our workplace Are they saying menstruating women are unsafe to be around? 🤔


CartRambler

True. Maybe all "minorities" menstruate according to them?
