Over the weekend, rumors spiraled that Sony was in talks with CD Projekt Pink about buying the Polish studio. Whereas Sony may undoubtedly swing such an acquisition, it’s merely not occurring.
This isn’t insider data however slightly straight from the horse’s mouth. CDPR’s Ola Sondej responded to a tweet dismissing the rumor itself as one thing that’s doable however not occurring. She merely acknowledged that the corporate shouldn’t be in any kind of talks with Sony about such an acquisition.
It’s a bizarre rumor to start out, because it’s fairly the shakeup ought to it really 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 straight after twisting its refund coverage to offer a reimbursement to dissatisfied Cyberpunk clients.
Certain, Sony is definitely capable of enter talks with an excellent chunk of builders, however CDPR appears extra like a developer that may endlessly stay outdoors of a console maker’s affect.
Yah, we’re not in such talks with Sony.
