S J Hollis writes for P&L:" DLC should not be purely about making money or luring consumers into pre-ordering, because that’s contemptuous and doesn’t embrace what playing video games is all about. DLC should be lovingly crafted additions made by developers who are just as passionate about their games as the fans who play them. What do you think?"
Alexander Morton, the Scottish actor probably best known for starring in British comedy drama Monarch of the Glen - but known to me for being the hilariously foul-mouthed dwarf Zoltan Chivay in The Witcher 2 and The Witcher 3 - has died aged 81.
The latest revenue report from CD Projekt Group shows Xbox only made up 10% of sales for The Witcher 3 and Cyberpunk 2077 in 2025.
3x less sales than Playstation.
3x less consoles sold than Playstation.
Per captita, it averages out that the same number of users are buying CDP games regardless of platform, no?
The exact same or possibly more because a series S, initial investment and effort to Port to Xbox consoles for a third of the return.
Simply not worth it
A third is a pretty big number to be honest. Like would you rather make 15 million or 20 million? That's the difference that a third makes.
Hey it’s ok. They are really impressed with XBOx’s new CEO so exclusivity is on the way. 😂
Ok but I mean be logical ... modern PC, Switch, PS4 PS5 then you have XBOX, of all of those XBOX is probably only 10 percent... I mean, what do you expect? 10 percent increase in sales is still nothing to sneeze at, remember - this is CD projekt red and they sell a lot of software. 10 percent of their sales is probably what most studios DREAM of selling .... just playing devils advocate..... its easy to say LOL haha XBOX.... but.. I mean we know what it is at this point. I havent bought on since my xbox one X and before that I only used other peoples xboxes since the OG XBOX and stick with PC and Playstation and switch OLED, but .. I mean.... theres nothing WRONG with an xbox considering its just not the best - but they work fine. make no mistake.

It has been ten years of the franchise and a celebration is planned.
In an ideal perfect world yes, but in reality is the companies soul purpose is to make money and they will do anything to achieve that goal. DLC or so called Download Content was initially a good idea, creating new content and adding to a game to extend the lifespan of the product as entertainment or give more immursive story based games etc. But unfortunately many companies have chose to abuse this idea more than a 5 dollar whore and so turning DLC into Disc Locked Content, or Decievingly Later Content. You know you been scammed the moment you see the content you just paid for only is a few hundred kilabytes of data. We all been there. I been there.
