i honestly think its just preventative... after witcher 3's success, and the fact they seem to have flourished into a genuine 'big' developer capable of AAA development (and with their cyberpunk game in the pipeline plus other projects), i think they're just covering their asses to preserve themselves now that they're big time... ready to start clawing back ownership as it were...

Microsoft incoming? They have shown, through the years, a keen interest on CDPR. God I hope there is no change in ownership.

They won't have a choice hence hostile takeover. Unless the existing board member(s) can come up with the required capital to regain majority they may loose to anyone with serious market value.

TW3 was already incredibly streamlined. People just chose to ignore how mainstream the game was because the story and presentation was excellent.
I'm not sure it would be that big a deal if some other big suit took it over.

That pretending will be so much harder if someone like EA takes over, guess that is what they are freaking out about.

"Incredibly streamlined" compared to what? Just in case you're confused for some esoteric reason, Witcher isn't cRPG, never was, not even the first game in the series was (not that there's anything wrong with it), and I think there's a general agreement that TW3 is the best in the series. So stop implying that it can't get much much worse (as usual trying to appear smarter than you really are) if a company like EA takes possession of it and does a Dragon Age on it, just to name one of many awful things that could happen to it, going by numerous past events.

Let's try not to be upset when people disagree.
I'm not saying TW3 is a bad game - or that it's not the best in the series. I'm saying it's very streamlined compared to other CRPG classics. Yes, it's a CRPG, obviously. I would call it an Action RPG, personally, but it's most defintely an RPG - as most people would agree with.
Streamlined meaning there's little to no challenge involved - except a little combat challenge on Death March. I mean, everything you're supposed to do is spelled out for you by markers, logs and "Witcher Senses". You don't have to think about anything at all. Even the "detective" quests are entirely oriented around your Witcher senses.
Doesn't mean it's bad - it just means it's already a mainstream game.
I'm sorry if it hurts your feelings and that you suffer from some kind of inferiority complex that must make other people arrogant because they don't agree with you.

So you are saying that people are not ignoring the streamlining and problems of this game? I'm sure the combat system, the challenge level, itemization, hand hold exploration, filler content, UI, etc. are all top notch elements worth praising.

A hostile takeover is inevitable and rats are leaving the sinking ship? mI seriously hope we won't get CrapWare 2.0.
PS Meanwhile Vivendi is on the offensive:

Perhaps ubilol is not the only studio they want to get.

2) SFFPC (streaming via Moonlight+ Sunshine) |

You're confused, obviously, and I'm not trying to get you out of that state cause I already know how it ends (or never ends 
Man, the discussion surely got derailed fast since I made my single post. It was supposed to be about the possibility of a big company ruining the legacy (if not outright sending it to Oblivion) of CDP-R and not about the merits of TW3 itself.
