    We should stop calling these folks hackers, too legitimate of a term.

    Let me guess, the hackers will hack into a video feed inside E3 and broadcast a professionally edited presentation of the Cyberpunk 2077 information.

    They could have a scandal that shook the very foundation of their company and I'd still buy their next project after TW3. If I can resist watching leaked GOT episodes these little criminals won't spoil much for me.

    So obviously they have a lot of money from the Witcher series.So i would expect they have a top notch security team,so then HOW,it would be nearly impossible without some inside help.So is it an inside job,is it even legit or the game has less interest than they figured so perhaps an insurance scam.
    Perhaps they have or are using outside resources that have access to their offices/computers?It just seems far too far fetched for me to believe,much like the often used DDOS attacks some devs were using the past 2 years.

    A bit of an interesting read from back in November,putting forth a scenario of a hostile takeover to it's shareholders as well other voting restrictions and a vote to sell back shares to the company.

    Once i start hearing about stuff like shares and possible takeovers,i get real suspicious of intentions and what is going on behind closed doors.

    Better they target video game company's instead of hospitals like they did a few weeks ago, that was a real scumbag move.
