A rather pessimistic view, don't you think? I believe CDPR very much is interested in what we think and if they have the slightest bit of business sense, which they clearly have, do not believe they're the 'big I am' right now. They are most likely reading this forum, taking notes from the best threads, and, once the expansion is finished, I should imagine will have discussions internally if not about what future content, if any, to provide to this game but their future direction as a company. Rather than complaining that they've become some egotistical, maniacal corporate, lay out your concerns and ideas in a coherent manner. You never know, they might just listen.
It is realistic.
If they have business sense they will look at what ACTUALLY sells. Not what we say sells. What the "hardcore" wants is not what sells nor what the average consumer actually wants.
I hope they would listen. But I'd rather have low expectation. That way if good thing happen I will be happy and surprised. If bad thing happen, at least I wont be as jaded.
