Comment on ‘We tried and it didn’t work out’: CDPR co-founder says it shouldn’t stray from AAA open-world RPGs

The co-founder is definitely referring to the Gwent standalone game. I played it when open beta came out but it steadily went downhill from there until they eventually stopped working on it in 2023.
It was still a really good game by the time they stopped working on it, and one of the least greedy CCG I’ve ever seen. Hearthstone was already starting to lose players, and they had a shot at being a replacement, even if the mechanics of the game were rather different.
And then Marvel Rivals came out and the CCG landscape was just overpopulated.
I think you mean Marvel Snap, but yes. Even the biggest pvp card games are struggling to retain players.
By the time I wanted to play that it was gone.
They also created a standalone, story based Gwent card game that is pretty good, just in case you didn’t know: Thronebreaker: The Witcher Tales
This is an excellent game and a good soundtrack.
i wanted gwent on my phone, not on my PC.

I liked that game. Then they decided to completely rework it. IMO for the worse. It went downhill from there.

Yeah I’m still not sure where they were going with reducing it to two lanes instead of 3.
