I'm sure the company that differentiates itself by marketing a DRM-free gaming platform would certainly voice support of similar concepts, but more importantly, why should we care? CDPR's politics is merely the politics of one person, their CEO. Is the EU a democracy of hundreds of millions of citizens, or is it an oligarchy of CEO's?
It doesn't matter one bit what a corporate spokesman says about democratic legislation and IMHO it feels unwholesome to even bring it up.
Because money talks, and CDPR has lots of Witcher/Cyberpunk money.
Yes, we are in 2024 an oligarchy of ceo's facading like a (republic) democracy. Wholesomeness was never in the equation. If you have any benevolent dictators, you may as well use them.
I never played it, but apparently Gwent had a pretty graceful termination of support where they kinda handed the game to the "community" and allowed them to keep the game going. Don't know if they would support legislation to enshrine those kinds of practices into law, but at least CDPR seems to be more on this side of things.
