CD Projekt seems to have some problems with punks trying to share their cyber data. The company had the game code stolen and reportedly sold as part of a hack earlier this month, and the company is doing everything in its power to prevent code from games like Cyberpunk 2077 and The Witcher 3 from spreading online. One strategy you are using is to send DMCA notices to those trying to share the code online.
According to Vice, on Thursday, February 18, two different Twitter users were notified of a DMCA removal related to code sharing for the Gwent card game. At least one of the tweets in question contained a link to the game’s source code.
The hackers left a ransom note after committing the attack on CD Projekt, but the company said it would not give in to those demands when it initially shared the news, knowing that the data could be released if they did not agree.
The note itself said that the source code for four different projects was stolen, including the three games mentioned above, as well as an unreleased version of The Witcher 3. Other administrative data was also stolen. Many were quick to joke about how the hacking interface in Cyberpunk 2077 made it all possible.
CD Projekt Red continues to work on updates to improve Cyberpunk 2077, as its public image had a great success in December, when the game was released in an almost broken state. The game was even withdrawn from sale on PlayStation Store and refund programs were implemented for dissatisfied customers. True state-of-the-art versions are planned for later this year, and there is also a multiplayer experience on the way.
