Khasim83: When will people understand that the developers don't get 100% of the game's price as income? CDPR only gets 100% of the price if the game has been bought via GOG.com. Otherwise, the developer gets the most part, just like record labels.
Also, Michał Kiciński said in an interview that as far as they know W2 is the fastest-selling PC game ever. Erm... WoW: Cataclysm sold 3.3 million copies in 24 hours.
Well first off, publishers do take a lot of coin from sales, but the point of digital sales is that they take much less. I would imagine only at retail would CDPR lose more than 10-20% of their revenue. Also, Michał Kiciński said in an interview that as far as they know W2 is the fastest-selling PC game ever. Erm... WoW: Cataclysm sold 3.3 million copies in 24 hours.
Secondly, there is no way he could have actually believed it was the fastest selling PC game. He must be delusional.
