And CD Projekt RED and GOG are part of the same group. Messing with GOG means messing with CD Projekt Red,

As i said, Valve will allow publishers a certain level of favoritism towards their own platform. Ever since they lost EA, they know they can't make enemies over such things. They know that publishers will try to attract people to use their services, but they won't intervene as long as it does not drastically incommodate Steam users. Because most people will still buy it on Steam as it's the most popular platform.

Also, Steam has hundreds of worthless asset flips, and they can't be bothered to delete them. Why delete a great game like Cyberpunk?

Pretty much the only relevant "exclusive" for getting CP2077 on GOG, right here. Which also doesn't seem to need that much pointing out and shouting from the rooftops, just regular good old word of mouth.

Hasn't the Witcher series', or even just the Witcher 3's sales on GOG alone surpassed the sales on every other platform, for a couple of years now?
It would take a massive blunder of world-shattering proportions on CDProjektRED's side for all that goodwill to not translate into at least a similar situation for CP2077 on GOG sales-wise. Given the bigger popularity of Cyberpunk as a genre or setting it might even absolutely shatter any sales records the Witcher franchise had held on GOG until then.

No doubt GOG is going to hand out a few early copies to some streamers with a big enough reach as well, so that they're going to do their part by shilling the crap out of GOG as the platform to get CP2077 on. And if you've tuned into one or two of those release streams before you know how much sway those streamers hold over their followers, it's sinister and cringy at the same time. Pretty much a "Simon says" type of relationship.

Thats a problem. CDP should be pushing GOG more and since a new game only comes in once a while why not?. Unless im wrong there were bonuses for buying Witcher 1 on GOG when it was released (wasnt there a timed thing with both 1 and 2?)
I dont see why CDP cant give more perks to GOG buyers honestly (i dont give a **** about Steam and plenty dont either.. )

btw I understand people hate me but what's wrong with this particular post that it got downrated?

I don't think that people hate you (I know I don't), but they are probably tired of seeing so many threads from you in the last few months. Especially since the bulk of those threads seem to be rather puerile. Maybe limit yourself in doing just a couple of threads per week - my friendly advice.

Why the low rating? I think you make a good point.

they just cant tolerate different opinions , look at all the forum games spam that is totally okay with them

Come and play with us.

The amount of hate CDPR would have received for making Cyberpunk a GOG exclusive would have been massive and long lasting, and that would have been the death of a company built upon the idea of community and consumer oriented values. I know it isn't a totally fair comparison but look at what happened with the Epic Games Store and the amount of hate they're still getting to this day. That isn't the best precedent if one wants to mimic or adapt certain commercial strategies.

Also, CDPR knows their numbers and if they're releasing their game on Steam and other platforms, and even allowing purchases through VPNs at half or a third of the game's cost, is because they have an estimated amount of revenue they want to meet the first day, week, month, quarter, etc. and consider that their current strategy is the best in order to match those numbers.

We bitterly complain on a regular basis about exclusivity in other stores. It wouldn't be too consistent to advicate for those on GOG. Let's practice what we preach and just be happy that everybody can choose where to buy Cyberpunk 2077.

Plus, GOG certainly needs more other devs/publishers than they need GOG.
