I'm a big Witcher fan. I started following news of the game in 2003-2004. I still remember (and possibly I've also saved somewhere on some DVD) the first concept art of the Witcher released a few years before the game went on sale. I even preordered it. So I was a big CDPR supporter. Second game was somehow a letdown but didn't erode my trust in CDPR. Spent hundred of hours with the third installment and I've also some hundred hours under the clock with CP2007. But, honestly, I don't see myself going to be hyped by any news coming from CDPR nor by any future game by them.
The management of the game development, the business decisions taken, the undelivered promises, the over-hyped and embellished previews and last the lack of quality and polishing in the game have totally ruined CDPR reputation in my eyes. There was a lot of potential in the game but the broken gameplay mechanics and all the bugs/glitches (sometimes too BIG to have passed unnoticed) have convinced me that the CDPR studio I respected is now gone. I hope the people who made CDPR the studio which was able to develop the Witcher games find an opportunity to start anew, like the STALKER veterans who left GSC later founded 4A Games and went on to create the very good Metro games.
