Also why did Vavra sell warhorse?

He sold it twice, actually.

He co-founded it with Klima, they financed KCD from their own pocket for a year, then ran out of money and started looking for a sugar daddy.

They went around big AAA companies - Sony, Ubi, EA, Take-Two, what have you - and everybody refused them. They finally found a bizarre investor, a local coal baron, who promised to give them 20 million in exchange of 80% of their studio.

So both co-founders sold it to the coal baron and when the game made a bundle all three sold their shares to Embracer.

P.S. - details are off, mistakes were made, shit was misremembered, I'm old leave me alone. Check Paul_cz correction.

Also why did Vavra sell warhorse? Why every slavic company that achieve some success sells their company, instead finding successor that will carry legacy and company on?

Yup, don't understand this short term thinking.

The game has been in development for 7 years. This was before Trump won and the vibe having change in the U.S. with people getting fed up with DEI shit being shove down in people's throats. If the black dude character is true. That was likely done to throw a DEI bone during development years ago. Too late to change/delete it. Just be thankful there's no pronouns and trannies in the game.

elections have got jack shit to do with it, people are just getting tired of forced dei garbage and im surprised even largely independent developers felt the need to do this shit for no good reason other than being afraid of a loud minority

IMO (and from my experience as a game dev) there's no guarantee that whoever the studio is passed down to won't royally fuck up the studio's future or the games legacy, so naturally doing that but with a paycheck involved is a more appealing option

you also have to consider vavra's perspective - 2k screwed him over with Mafia, so by selling his new studio he can put a ton of money into his pocket - that way if something really bad happens to his studio, he can just quit and make a new IP with capital to self-fund it with, instead of having to run kickstarters and negotiate deals with publishers

has less to do with ethnicities and more with looking after your own ass; by all accounts it's a shit move because it means publishers will now try to influence how your game is made, but it's sound in terms of self-preservation

Game was rigged from the start, without protectionism you can't win against western capital - sell or be killed if you resist. This is why there is no sovereignity without socialism.

Not completely accurate.

Vávra left 2K Czech in 2009, got in contact with Klíma, they went around looking for investor for 2 years while living off savings (and Vávra wrote reviews for games.cz back then, gave New Vegas a 9, to make some money). When the savings were almost wiped out, by random chance they got put into contact with Bakala ("the coal baron") who finally gave them money to develop the prototype in exchange for majority stake (around 75%) in the newly founded company.

So they founded Warhorse, hired about 15 people and made the prototype in about 2 years, and when they had it, then they went on the pitching tour to convince publishers to fund the development of the full game. That did not pan out so they had to go kickstarter route, with Bakala funding pretty much the entire game's budget (only later Deep Silver got involved, but they only financed some marketing).
Then the game was successful, Deep Silver (owned by Embracer) offered to buy the studio, which even with minority stake would make Vávra and Klíma dollar milionaires and of course for Bakala it was overall very profitable investment.

But basically the point is that Vávra and Klíma never owned Warhorse in the first place, the moment it was founded Bakala already owned majority stake.

Yup, don't understand this short term thinking.

Imo it's firstly the fact that he did not fully own Warhose pretty much from the start and that was inevitable because you can't afford to make a large open world RPG without a large investment, plus he probably realized that he doesn't exactly have a track record of making repeated hits in a short time to create cash flow like Valve (on the contrary, this is going to be the third game he's finished in the last 25 years), where it was obvious that keeping the company in their private ownership was a good financial *and* artistic decision, even before the existence of Steam.

And secondly simply being offered literal fuck you money. I'm not going to pretend to know what decision I'd make if faced with the option of never having to care about money again and being endlessly ready for any problem thrown at me that can be solved with large enough wads of cash, which is not all but most of them.

I'm not going to pretend either, I know that very well - I'd take the money and laugh all the way to the bank.

It's easy to be principled and righteous when you're broke, without any money temptations in sight.

Btw I would actually somewhat respect Vávra if he openly said "Yes, we decided to do this to send the message that Warhorse is not just alt-right Vávra and get better reviews." (yes, I am expecting that the videos/screenshots are not fake)

It would still be fucking stupid, but the thing that I hate the most about hyperprogressives is not what they do, but how they keep denying they're doing it. The whole "it's not happening, but it should be happening, and if it is happening, it's good and what are you complaining about?" shit. Or, recently and specifically: -We put conventionally unattractive people in our game to subvert expectations. -Well, I don't like that you obviously made your character models ugly to send a political message, that's stupid. -What!? They all look like normal people, there's nothing political about it, we didn't make them ugly, you perv!! Or in general calling "gamers" pervs and fetishists just because they themselves sexualize different things. Or trying to hide that they hired SweetBaby Inc.

When someone has radically different opinions than you do but is entirely open about it, at least you can somewhat respect him as an ideological enemy. But the common denial and hiding behind whatever made up or delusional reason instead of just saying "yes, I'm using xxxx to push my ideology/make more sales" is so fucking tiresome.

 

[Stavrophore]

No, Vavra should come up and clear misconception, whether the dindu was put because of publisher/owner demand, or due to his own decision as creative director or sth like that, cant recall his exact position in the studio.

And what's this has to do with 2025? Obviously the woke is progressing exponentially, so such comparisons are useless. Nowadays cdprojekt will include many negros and DEI themes wherever they can squeeze, just see, suddenly half of temeria will be of zanguevar descend.

They added at least two brown NPCs with hearts of stone IIRC, merchants from Offieri (sp) or something like that

But this is exactly what Warhorse should have done with KCD2 if the had to have eastern foreigners in the game. Mysterious subjects of the Sultan from the hyper-developed-yet-unforgiving still-Roman east. Since The Witcher is earlier medieval, they made them Saracens, which is perfect. It was like something from Ivanhoe, very well done.

 

[Cpt. Dallas]

When this is modded out, there are two approaches. One, a seamless exchange with a random white peasant model. Leave whatever retarded accent voice acting they have added.

Second, over the top troll-worthy reskin using Tyrone from 'sheeeeiit' meme as a model. AI re-voice into ebonics with matching dialogue changes that somehow fit in with Henry's responses.

The latter would be epic.

No, only magical negroes from Sub-Saharan Wakanda Africa are enough for americunt audiences.

Also, the symbols on his clothing are presumably meant to reference his African culture. Wearing heathen nature, animal, and spirit symbols is, unsurprisingly, forbidden.

I would really like to know the process behind creating this character, because the games are otherwise quite keen on historical accuracy (even though they are influenced by Czech nationalist propaganda).

 

[Clockwork Knight]

You are seriously delusional if you think a single black NPC is going to ruin the 'good will', or if you think the game is 'compromised' by it.

Like seriously get some fucking perspective. Almost nobody gives a shit. Hell I'd say most Codexers probably don't give a shit and will play it and love it regardless. Yeah you'll all spam this thread with your racial slurs and your sad collection of Nazi poster memorabilia for a few weeks. Meanwhile you'll purchase the deluxe edition and play it non-stop with the curtains closed while whispering to yourself 'ba-baka D Vavra, it's not like I love your game or anything...'

"I'm playing KC2..."
"Isn't it woke?"
"Giga woke. But I'm using the Woke Remover mod."
"Of course. Me too."

I will be fine with negro if he gets reasonable backdrop like berber traders came to mali, sold their stuff, brough him as slave, then he was sold to genoan traders, came to north italy and was then sold to kuttenberg. But how he would be a scholar in this scenario? He would have to be most likely first sold by berbers to ottoman/abbasid caliphate where he was picked up as promising and trained to become medicus. But then, who would trade a medicus to europe? Must had been particular reason, like he raised hand on his master or something like that and evaded punishment/death. Just give me reasonable backstory to that negro and i will be fine, but if i feel the smell of jewish hands and their wokery aka. superficially insert magic token negro, then i will be pissed. This is not how you honor black history, you want to do it - do it properly and with explanation, instead of insulting viewer intelligence. Because extraordinary occurences[a black in kuttenberg] needs extraordinary explanation. You don't need explanation and backstory to every white peasant near kuttenberg because it's to be expected for them to be there...

"I'll be totally fine with a black character in KCD2, but he has to be a slave"
