Journalist Jason Schreyer (Jason Schreier) has prepared another material about problematic production Cyberpunk 2077. This time he focused on money bonuses for employees: it may seem that after the nightmare of the game to managers CD Projekt punishment shines, but in fact their awards are calculated by millions of dollars.

According to their labor contracts, employees CD Projekt received additional cash payments for the general financial successes of the company at the end of the year. 20 % of profit is allocated to bonuses – 10 % to employees and 10 % to the board of directors. According to information that publishes Schreyer, The statistics came out as follows:

$ 29.8 million distributed to 865 employees CD Projekt (after a smaller bonus for labor successes). According to the company, an average of $ 34,000 for each. Some employees CDP In the comments for Bloomberg, they say that in the younger positions it turned out from $ 5,000 to $ 9,000, and older – about $ 15,000 or $ 20,000.

$ 28 million distributed to the board of directors, which includes only five people. For example, Markin Ivinsky (Marcin iWiński) and Adam Kichinsky (Adam kiciński) received $ 6.3 million, and Adam Badovsky (Adam Badowski) – $ 4.2 million.

Interlocutors Schreyer from among ordinary employees CDP They say that they expected the awards more allotically: they say, if they were given to be brought Cyberpunk 2077 Until mind, it would be sold even better and would bring more profits. However, the managing top still decided to release the game earlier than.

Despite huge sales at the start (over 13 million copies in the first month), now Cyberpunk 2077 The public reviews with a bad “sundress” and the lack of playing in the PlayStation Store interfere with. In addition, the circulation was lower than the forecasts of analysts, and the shares CD Projekt Significantly sank in price and continue to fall. In general, there are still reasons to consider Cyberpunk 2077 financial failure.

At a meeting with investors Adam Kichinsky They asked if he considers such awards for the board of directors honored. Kichinsky I referred to a labor contract, where there was always a close relationship with the profit of the company: “We have earned this money and the company earned this money, of course, but the more profit, the more prize. So, if we are effective, we receive bonuses – this is a contract ".

According to one of the interlocutors Schreyer, When Bloomberg went on the internal state CD Projekt, And there were many complaints from employees, the company revised salaries: some of the lowest -paid posts (including the quality control department) received increase.

The best comments

Well, in principle, logical: they earned this money – they received a prize. Everything is fine. If, due to the “sundress radio”, they will not be able to sell and earn money on the “Sumerpinka”, then they will not receive. Plus, in addition to a purely emotional assessment of the quality of their work, there is also a legal one: they say “there is a profit – there is a bonus”; And if you do not pay it, then this is a violation of labor legislation. And the fact that the players did not like the game, well, they would not buy duck or return the money ..

Lucky, but my boss, when I ask him a bonus or a allowance for a well -done work, says to me:

Oh, a bonus of cats, Ururuuru: http://eurokingclub-casino.co.uk/ 3

Well, apparently there is an opinion that the entire top of the SDPR was supposed to make a theater gesture with his hand and with the words: “No! We have not deserved such awards! Give them to the poor developers so that they saw paths quickly and efficiently!»Go to the Radio Molean woman for six months.

Meet an employee of the year Larisa.

The fact that under contracts the management of CD Projekt is obliged to receive such awards does not mean that it deserves them.

Deserves, does not deserve – this is an ephemeral concept, everyone always has a different opinion on who deserved what. As Milton Friedman said: “No one deserves anything. Thank God, people do not get what they deserve ".

And respect for contracts and contracts is a sign of a civilized state.

The news that CDPR is fulfilling labor contracts.

The merits are indicated in the news – the percentage of the profit is divided into two, half of the employees, half of the directors, apparently, was always.

Plus, as the gentleman indicated from above, it is not the fact that you can legally simply and not pay the bonus, therefore I considered it necessary. You know, there are no such indicators as “bugs” and “discrepancy between expectations” in the financial statements.

It is clear that it would be naive to wait for such a decision from the leadership of the CDPR, since everything is under contracts. But history knows the precedent – Nintendo. On the launch of 3DS was a failure for sales. Then the Ninka leadership made an apology and the decision to reduce the prices for consoles by 40%. + A decision to reduce management bonuses for unsuccessful management decisions. Satoru Ivata cut off the then half the due annual bonus (which, by the standards of Western companies, is generally poverty-less than $ 1 million) by 50%, the rest of the managers cut an average of 20-30%. Developers and ordinary employees – did not touch at all. As a result, 3DS with a new price became very successful, and Ninka defended a portable gaming. But these are the Japanese – they have their own atmosphere.

I’m not saying that CDRP should take an example, or somehow condemned for its decision. Everyone is free in personal choice between personal interest and responsibility for the result of their work and reputation consequences. Ninka here is more likely – an entertaining special case on the topic.

so damp that she has not yet been returned to PSN

Moreover, PC here, if I wrote about the Play Station Store?

I see nothing bad. Judging by the information, the formula of the prize is very strictly attached to profit and has always been, it was not some kind of tyrant in the leadership decided to reward himself for bugs at the start. Ultimately, the company’s task to generate profits, and employees receive a reward for this.

I don’t understand why all this hype is around the "gamble".
I bought a game for Full Price, yes, there are bugs, yes – this is not a breakthrough.
But take a bang, this is an aphigenic, interesting game! I’m buzzing right from her now.
Let the management a little and crap, but they finish the game, yesterday the new patch will be released.
And if DLC comes out (and they go out, since it is much easier to cut content on everything ready than to make a new game) – I will be happy to buy them and them!

P.WITH. And all the games from the CDR have always been tanned at the start, but extremely sincere. In the same first witcher, one of the stones had fun and did not get into the inventory of the quest, I generally keep silent about the second witcher))

P.WITH.WITH. I am not playing the top hardware, Vidyuha 1060 (one of the most common static static), the percent is generally ancient – small lags only in the guitator, if you ride it at speeds. But damn it, he is masterful. There was no such thing in games before

I foresee a great storm of opinions in this branch.

You are apparently a very distant dude, getting closer)) Even if you are not interested in the kitchen of the industry, you can not be strained to check out the report for investors and no longer write anything and regret your fingers, as well as my state of mind (joking, do not strain)) The company has two titles, which in your opinion will put dust on them every three years and there will be dusty once every three years die slowly, because if you could not live up to expectations, then we put the paws?! As always, people remember failures well, and previous merits are no longer worried about anyone. After all, since 2007, the CDPR has not created wonderful video games, apparently the industry also dreams of dreams that have nothing to do with severe reality.

The Japanese have a slightly different working culture. I am not a specialist in the topic, but they generally usually have the heads of the authorities (in every sense) the first to fly from their shoulders since the result of the work did not live up to expectations, the authorities are first to blame. The national emphasis on the general and not personal and “honor” affects, let it already and less often with all sorts of harakiri in case of failures (by the way, the word does not mean no at all).

Approximately like a release. There are fewer bugs, there are more diverse transport on the streets, in the name of optimization, some buildings disappear from a certain angle. Well, that is, playing more comfortable, but the miracle did not happen.

Let them get it. The main thing is to finish the begun.

They can, why not? Just an approach to advertising is needed another, the deadlines can not be denoted, but to put “when its done” in the release column, test the product – all of them can.

I read comments and understand that negative comments on this subject were probably written by people who simply envy such a bonus. I am glad for the company and the fact that they reacted perfectly to employees. I wanted to work there) I’m waiting for the next project!
