Although a year ago the CD Project promised that employees would not have to work overtime, that promise has now been broken.
Cyberpunk 2077 will not be delayed for the third time, the team from the CD Project promises us. But, according to the Bloomberg portal, the employees of that company will pay the price for that promise because this week they received a notification that they will have to work overtime until the release of the game (November 19) - six days a week instead of the standard five days. Fortunately, they will be paid in accordance with Polish labor law.
What is controversial in this situation is that the Polish company promised a year ago that this will not happen and that they do not support the idea of overtime just to complete the game on time. The explanation for this decision was offered by the head of the studio himself, Adam Badowski, stating that they simply had no other options because they had already cracked two delays in the release.
An anonymous source who revealed this information to Bloomberg claims that part of the employees have been working overtime for more than a year, but of their own free will. The game has been sent to the certification process at Sony and Microsoft which means it is complete, but in the remaining 50 days (yes, we are counting down) the team has to work intensively on polishing the game and fixing bugs.
