owsf2000Apparently I missed a short lived rumour yesterday about EA supposedly buying GOG/CD Projekt. Due to how viral it got, the founder of the company came forth pretty quickly and put it to rest by denying anything of the sort going on - and that the paystub used by the original leaker of the news to prove him being an employee is fake.
Great. Happy to hear. Would be rather stupid for them to sell to be honest.
But at the same time I laugh at some people's comments about the issue, for instance "Yeah right. As if CDPR would ever sell to EA. A company that's been praised for its DRM free games, that do not try to milk the consumer using cheap DLC tactics, sellout to a company that won the, what was that thing? The worst company award? Thrice?"
Yeah. That's a reason to believe people don't change amirite?
Minecraft.

Despite what all the "Hurr, CDPR is so great and they'd never sell out to an obvious turd like EA, durr, because they love the consumer" bunch is saying, we both already know that even CDPR itself isn't (http://kane-magus.livejournal.com/734405.html) completely (http://kane-magus.livejournal.com/765446.html) spotless (http://kane-magus.livejournal.com/773351.html) to begin with, so, no, I don't think it's inconceivable that they might someday do something completely and utterly brain-dead in the future, like sell out to EA.
