CD Projekt: Lost faith is fair, redemption may come with Witcher 4

He also noted a shift from Red Engine to Unreal Engine 5 for Witcher 4, describing the post-launch period as painful yet educational; Cyberpunk 2077 has since sold over 35 million copies.

CD Projekt DMCA blocks Cyberpunk 2077 VR mod over Patreon paywall, prompting creator to step back

CD Projekt issued a DMCA against Luke Ross’s Cyberpunk 2077 VR mod, part of the R.E.A.L. VR framework, because it was behind a Patreon paywall; the company said monetization without permission violated its fan-content guidelines and demanded the mod be made free (with optional donations) or removed. Ross argues the move shows the company’s focus on profit and says he’s stepping away from the project, noting prior takedowns of his other mods. The dispute underscores tensions between fan-made VR mods and IP owners, with Ross planning other VR work such as a Baldur’s Gate 3 mod.
