Cyberpunk demo has 12 mil views and this shit has 22 mil in 2 weeks. LOL
I don't think views count only if you watch the video in its entirety.
The Hytale video was apparently served as an advertisement, that does inflate the number of views. Although the Cyberpunk demo still has more likes and comments. Nevertheless, Minecraft is very popular, so it is not that surprising if there is interest in a game like this.
I like that the Polish state is willing to fund ambitious projects like this, they know the benefit it will have on the Polish economy if CDPR is mega successful.
"Master race" is a bit of a strawman intended to paint all enthusiast PC gamers with a negative brush. The people who refer to themselves that way unironically are a ridiculously small (And not even all that vocal, if you hang out in good PC communities) minority.
Hytale looks like a great game. Been following it for a while. As other have said, there are many reasons for the difference in views. Hytale will probably attract a bigger community, but I doubt it will make as much money as 2077 (or maybe it will - what do I know?).
As for how much 2077 will cost to make... No clue. Hundreds of millions, probably.
CD Projekt has an annual financial overview. you can see what they spend and earn. (W3 is still making money but Gwent is the main income now)
but my estimation is 1.5B (1.500.000.000) revenue and the total cost is 0.8B (800.000.000)
so.. they have 0.7B to start on new projects (some of them will never see daylight.. others will fail before beta.. and yet others will become the next gem)

As far as I know, GTA V is the most expensive game developed to date with something around $270m, made by a studio way bigger than CDPR. They can't afford making a game that costs nearly 3 times as much...
Just as a point of reference, CDPR reached a revenue about $212m in 2015, the year W3 (which cost ~$80m until release) was released.
I would guess the total number to be somewhere around $160-180m. Not sure if they would spend more than $200m.
you can be right
but the CP 2077 is bigger and newer and more ground breaking then GTA V (and they used a lot of GTA 3 and 4 for V)
soo inflation, better devs (same as Witcher but more exp), longer production time, own engine.. i think they will beat that 270m with ease.
but.... we just have to wait for 2020 to get the numbers on 2019
