CDPR to split 10% of their annual profits with the developers

Only 10%?
You'd think the staff generating 100% of the profit through the products the company sells would get more than 10% of it.

That could be alot of dough. Anybody got numbers on how much people get when they did this before

Schreier is poison.
People work weekends close to deadline shock!
Millions of people are being made unemployed due to the pandemic and he's banging on the desk about people working a Saturday closer to deadline!

"Only 10%?"
I can't think of many companies (not just in the gaming world) that do this. It's a decent gesture.
You think living at your desk, 14-16 hour days, six hours a week, sleeping at work is acceptable?
Yeah like, they literally are saying they haven't actually changed anything, and yet people are still eating it up like they just moved the earth to benefit their employees.
I'm confused by Schreier's tweet being somehow embedded in that announcement?
Does Twitter highlight the most relevant reply? Did Adam Badowski somehow merge the tweets? I'm confused.
Anywho, the tweet reads to me:
We will, just like we did in years prior, share profits with our developers.
Meanwhile, we ask our developers for Crunch - something we've said we wouldn't be doing last year.
So, this is ... bad news, kinda?

Money is not more important than peoples health and sanity jesus
Lemme stab you real quick but its okay, you can have this wallet i stole earlier
He quote retweeted it, allowing him to put his own response along with a retweet.
April 2021 - 'CD Projekt Red report no profits for financial year'.
In all seriousness though that's a nice thing they're doing but giving people extra doesn't excuse forcing them to crunch for months on end - assuming that reports of it being ongoing for months are accurate.

Not even that, but that being mandatory, ie. you might lose your job if you didn't do that... That's fucking horrendous.
I assume that it's on top of their usual salary.
Edit: Sorry my math failed me :p
I don't mind crunch if its only a short period like 2 or 3 weeks. I think the Cyberpunk devs are probably crunching for months now. It will have impact on their lives for sure. I hope the money they get out of this compensates the suffering they have gone through. It will be a lot of money for sure but some things can't be fixed with money.
That you think people only reaping 10% of the rewards of their creativity and hard work as a "decent gesture" shows how fucked up everything is.
I imagine the other 90% flows to people who have contributed literally fuck all.
Crunch is a major issue and CDPR said they would not do crunch. I can barely do 7 hours of work for 5 days a week without feeling tired all the time, more so due to the pandemic and the extra stress.
Just because people are losing their jobs doesnt mean the ones that keep theirs should have to work crazy work weeks.
If I was passionate about my work and loved every second of what I did, I'd fucking do it. Hell, I used to do this at my previous job, sure it was a call center for StubHub, but I would work 7 days a week, 12 hour days on my regularly scheduled days, and 10 hour days on my days off. Sure I didn't need to sleep there, but I also legally wasn't allowed to. I would trade shifts when our company would run into a rough spot with a certain event to work overnight chats and emails, I would offer myself up to do OT or help others out. Being forced to do it is one thing, but when you actually love doing it, it doesn't feel stressful or like a job. Yes, the games industry is different, but I am sure there are some that enjoy this and some that don't. Such is life.
15,937 to be exact. I would take that for 6 weeks crunching. Hell i crunched at work for 3 years and didn't get paid that well.
gotcha, so the chronology is:
CDPR sends out mail to employees.
Schreier reports via Tweet.
Badowski quotes Schreier's tweet, adding the Wall-of-Text image. (this is in the OP)
thanks!
