Of course they were fresh. Witcher 1 was an absolute niche game, even though it was critically acclaimed. (...) Furthermore, yes they were poor. Again comparibly so. (...) All that said: of course they weren't some backwater village nerd and his friend. Compared to some German game developers like BlueByte and Ascaron or JoWood from Austria or others who reached their zenith in the 90's they are huge. But compared to EA? Rockstar? 2k? Ubisoft? Sony? Nintendo? compared to them they are a * joke and green behind the ears. Hell CDPR tried to buy back their own shares because they feared a company like EA could swoop in and simply buy them out. So please, we might disagree, but do not make the mistake of putting them in the same category as those guys because they are not and that would undersell their achievement as well.
You are excluding GOG from the equation, and it is confirmed that it brought dozens of millions of $ to CDP long prior to Witcher 3...
...but sure, You are right that CDPR is not the same league as EA or other major companies, and that they gambled a lot with each of their games. Maybe that is the thing? When You are putting all Your money on the project, and risk all You have, then You are more invested and care more to spend all those pennies well? It makes You care more for potential buyers?
It seems universal that majority of all the memorable titles were developed by relatively small and self-driven companies, while all the "blockbuster" game developers are well versed in merchandising but otherwise rarely deliver above mediocre? :-(
I guarantee the hold up is the balancing part of the patch. Not to say I wouldn't mind at least somewhat of a teaser in what's coming next and a general time table of when to expect it. I figure that they're still analyzing mp specifically and testing out numbers for guns/powers. I feel like they don't have to bundle so much in one patch but i think that's what they're doing.
Judging on how they released patches for DA:I, we probably won't see the next patch until next month. Plus look at all they have to do. They can't magically make make another patch pop out in two weeks with all that they said they're working on. It takes time...you just gotta be patient. Hang in there.
I'd be very surprised if they did do another patch this month.
you also have to take into consideration that more often then naught bigger usually means less efficient to boot.
