The last sentence, in addition to making it clear that the project is still in its infancy and that CD Projekt RED needs to add more developers, has raised the hackles of some people who reminded him of the cases of crunch or labor exploitation. that arose during the development of Cyberpunk 2077 and that came to light at the time. Slama has replied to a specific user who said that he had forgotten to mention that, to which he replied “never under my supervision”.
