was it really 300 million, jfc.

Those groundbreaking dong-sway physics don't come cheap y'know.

After seeing the comment about cost, I looked it up. I guess they haven't publicly stated the cost. According to this article:

"CD Projekt hasn't publicly announced figures, but its Q3 2020 earnings presentation cited non-GOG "development expenditures" from the start of 2018 of about $111 million."

Another article says that they already recouped the development costs from pre-orders alone.

"Cyberpunk 2077 has likely already paid for itself. In a memo issued Friday, CD Projekt — the parent company of developer CD Projekt Red — said that its revenue from digital pre-order sales alone exceeds all of Cyberpunk 2077’s production costs and all of the company’s marketing and promotional costs for the game this year.

In a series of tweets issued on Thursday, CD Projekt announced that Cyberpunk 2077 had been pre-ordered more than 8 million times. Nearly three-fourths of those pre-orders were for digital copies of the game, for which CD Projekt has a higher profit margin than for physical copies sold at the same price."
