Over the weekend, rumors spiraled that Sony was in talks with CD Projekt Pink about buying the Polish studio. Whereas Sony might undoubtedly swing such an acquisition, it’s merely not taking place.
This isn’t insider information however reasonably immediately from the horse’s mouth. CDPR’s Ola Sondej responded to a tweet dismissing the rumor itself as one thing that’s attainable however not taking place. She merely said that the corporate isn’t in any type of talks with Sony about such an acquisition.
It’s a bizarre rumor to begin, because it’s fairly the shakeup ought to it truly happen. CD Projekt Pink is a publicly traded developer, plus the entire Cyberpunk 2077 debacle wouldn’t simply get dropped and forgiven so simply. Certain, CDPR’s open-world dystopia was delisted from PSN for nearly seven months, however that may nonetheless be a bit mild.
There’s doubt Sony would need something to do with the Polish developer immediately after twisting its refund coverage to present a reimbursement to dissatisfied Cyberpunk prospects.
Certain, Sony is actually capable of enter talks with an excellent chunk of builders, however CDPR appears extra like a developer that may endlessly stay exterior of a console maker’s affect.
Yah, we’re not in such talks with Sony.
