What had to happen happened: one Internet user (among others) did not hesitate to point out in a particularly scathing way CD Projekt’s past record in terms of the treatment of its employees, indicating that potential newcomers would be entitled to a bonus “to a horrible crunch and to be treated like dogs“.
