I see thank you for clearing that up, Its nice that I have now full picture of the grants, even back in the day I just read the headline on what the funding was for, knew it was for Multiplayer but didn't realized that for 2077 MP.
Thank you.
Multiplayer for CP 2077 is the only thing they've ever attempted as it was meant to be a serious challenge for GTA Online. But after failing to make any headway for 2 years, they outsourced it to Digital Scapes who've also been having a hard time getting it to work, presumably due to the game engine.
The grants, totaling $7m, covered a wide range of research apart from multiplayer. Here's an article on it from 2016:
