Greetings Earthlings! Welcome to the MadQueen Show!
I am your host the MadQueen!
On today's menu we have a couple of things for you, if you're here for the news please
go to the time stamp that you will see in the description because I have a couple of
things to clarify first and it's going to take some time to do so
If you're staying, grab your popcorn
So, I woke up Friday morning with a message from the Dungeon Master of my Discord Server
regarding some speculation that was going on, on the Cyberpunk 2077 subreddit and associated
Discord Server, and I was like
According to this speculation or what I understood it was, I was supposed to have some privileged
information regarding what CD Projekt RED, the Polish studio that is developing Cyberpunk
2077, is going to be doing at E3 and I apparently revealed such information on a video that
I took down because I had an alleged NDA signed with them that I broke and I refused to explain
because my Discord server was turned private
You guys have a lot of imagination; and I love it
Introduction to this subject: I'm attending E3 this year, that was a last minute decision,
so the general assumption is that this means that I have some privileged information about
what is going on at E3 with Cyberpunk 2077
Because, as you know, I talk about everything on CD Projekt RED in this channel
and especially Cyberpunk 2077
So, first things first
because we're back with this subject again
I said this several times in the past and I honestly have no idea how to say it more
clearly: I do not work for CD Projekt, my channel is not endorsed by CD Projekt, I don't
have any connection with them whatsoever, I would love to but I just don't
I don't have any kind of privileged information regarding Cyberpunk 2077, if I can give you
so much news is because I spend an insane amount of time doing my research and I have
a lot of spies that follow this channel and send links my way to make it easier for me
to gather information, that's it
No hidden things, I know nothing
If they wanted to share info they would go to the guy that has a million subs, I'm
not even a news outlet, I'm just a glorified fangirl
I mean, I'm going blind in here
I may be taking a 12 hours flight to the other corner of the world and spending a money I
don't have to hear about Thronebreaker for all I know
I am assuming we'll see Cyberpunk there, I am the one taking that risk, and I expect
them at Sony's or Microsoft's conference, let's
be honest, officially I know exactly the same that you do
Which is nothing at all
So, as you can guess, no information at all is not something that you protect with an NDA
Second, but you turned the video down!
Yes, I did, and by the way, it's not the first time
So I was watching the video before going to sleep and I was "oh my god, I talk like
a robot" "I said this word wrong" "I said this other word wrong" "Everything is
wrong" "I'm such a lousy YouTuber"
Let's remove the video! From everywhere!
Let's pretend that no one saw that!
What do you want me to say? I'm human
I also have days like that, like all of you
I felt insanely stupid and I wanted the video out
Believe it or not, it requires a decent amount of confidence to sit in this side of the camera
and more knowing that you are expressing yourself in your third language, so I require a bit more
than the average confidence you need to have a YouTube channel and obviously most days
I just don't give a fuck, otherwise having a channel would be absurd, if I say "Insanely"
instead of "insane", well, you clearly understood what I meant
But also obviously is not always like that, and right now I'm not exactly at the peak
of my confidence, for reasons that I'm not going to share but I took this three weeks
break for a reason
So, yes, I just felt stupid and I didn't want to see this video again
And it was too late to make a correction video like I usually do when I take down a video
for the mistakes, it was like 4 am in the morning, so I thought about doing it on Friday
but I couldn't
And I honestly didn't think that no one was paying that much attention
And about users of the Cyberpunk Discord server trying to access my Discord to ask and couldn't
because it was set to private
No, it wasn't
It's the third time that this happens this year, I'm so sick of it, and if someone
has a solution I would really appreciate that you leave a comment and let me know
So, there is this checkbox when you create a link to your discord server to check if
you don't want the link to expire, but it just expires anyway
Third time this year
And you know what that means?
That means that I need to create a new link and then go video by video in all my fucking
channel changing the link to my Discord server in the description, in English and Spanish,
and it's… pretty frustrating
And I wasn't even aware that it happened again so, as I said before, if you know the
solution to this please leave a comment and let me know I will really appreciate the help in here
So, with all this said, I believe you can understand my reaction reading all the discussion
around like
Yes, that was approximately my face
This reminds me a lot of the situation we had when I put the first commercial out that
for one of those coincidences of life happened to coincide with the beep
Which obviously I had no idea was going to happen
People went crazy snd I just made the same face
So, the content of that video in case you came late and couldn't watch it: I'm going to E3!!
Last minute decision!!
CD Projekt confirmed that I will be able to earn a couple of restraint orders by entering
fangirling hard mode, which I didn't expect, because I have the mini me of channels, so
everything amazing
In the video I also asked for your help to fund this insane adventure, and thank you,
thank you, it was amazing to see that in the little time that the video was up such a lot
of people wanted to collaborate and did contribute to the cause, some even wrote me to apologize
that they didn't have a lot to give and I feel so humbled, just that you take the
time and effort to put whatever the amount you want to put in my Patreon, is insanely
appreciated, I don't have words
and it's not only a matter of money, is the support that is amazing and
I really appreciate it
Everything counts, everything
If you'd like to contribute to the cause you can either join our Patreon, with your
contribution you will unlock the exclusive videos there and, as you can guess, there
are also going to be exclusive videos during E3, and lots of pictures
You can also contribute via PayPal, you'll find the links to everything in the description
And again, thanks, you are amazing
And while you're on it, you can also join Discord because it seems that it's the only
way to be notified about new videos, YouTube doesn't notify subscribers about them anymore,
Twitter hides the tweets with links to most of your followers, so join Discord,
Yeah, I'll put the new link
this way next time I upload a video you can ignore it and it will be your decision
No one else's
Well, this was long
And now, for the news, but first a message from our sponsor

This has been floating around since Thursday but I didn't want to cover it until I could
find a reliable official source
On May 24th, CD Projekt group, the company that owns the studio developing Cyberpunk
2077, made a conference to present the results for the first quarter of 2018, you can find
in the description a link to the full transcription that is hosted on CD Projekt's official website
And as you can guess, this conference had a Q&A
As you know, and if you don't I'm telling you now, there are four things that are "pending
an explanation", or a presentation, on the roof of CD Projekt: The changes of Gwent called
"Homecoming", the new mode of Gwent called Thronebreaker which we only have a teaser
from last year if I'm correct, I'm no expert in Gwent, Cyberpunk 2077 and a mysterious
AAA RPG we know nothing about
During the Q&A, the CEO of CD Projekt Adam Kiciński, removed Homecoming from the list
of things we were going to see this E3
But there's more A journalist from the Polish Press Agency
asked if the company is working on another RPG other than Cyberpunk, to which Adam Kiciński
answers that they are working on Thronebreaker, which has evolved into a fairly sizable RPG,
providing several dozen hours of gameplay
Which is odd
Because if you read the annual result summary when this mysterious RPG was last confirmed,
I believe it was published in February, you can find the PDF on their official website,
this new RPG was in a different category than Gwent, in the whole document you had on one
side that they talk about Gwent and Thronebreaker and in a different section they talk about
Cyberpunk 2077 and this other mysterious RPG, so I'm really confused in here
Because if Thronebreaker ends up being a AAA RPG, then it would be the fourth game of The Witcher?
or maybe all these changes don't change the base of the game
and Thronebreaker will still be a free-to-play game
I'm confused, I don't really know (yet)
Regarding the marketing campaign and this also goes in relation to the release date
of Cyberpunk 2077, quoting Adam Kiciński
we did muse about the length of the campaign
at a similar results conference some time ago, and noted that campaigns may be either
long or short; however, we're past these discussions now and we understand that we
will need to, or rather want to tell players a great deal about Cyberpunk.
It's a new release, a new world, and we want to share our vision for Cyberpunk
Thus, the Cyberpunk campaign will not be a short one
And when asked what did he meant by "short" and "long" marketing campaign, Kiciński adds
A short campaign would typically take several months
One example is Fallout 4, where the campaign took, I believe, five months between the announcement
and the release
That's what we would consider a short campaign
So, we were speculating for long about what did CD Projekt mean when they said they liked
the way Bethesda managed the campaign of Fallout 4, and as this is a studio that has an ear
on the ground and listens to what the community says, I feel like this question was directed
to fans more than to investors, as Kiciński started talking about this on his own initiative
This can be good news or bad news, depending on your take on it
Obviously, this means that those predictions that forecast a presentation this E3 and a
release later this year are wrong, so I failed my own Pizza Pool, even though as we discussed
several times in the past we're talking about a huge universe, that has an insane
amount of lore, this is a Cyberpunk setting but it's also a very specific Cyberpunk
setting and they need to explain it to make the game more accessible to prospective buyers,
because there are an insane amount of misconceptions about what we will find in the game, and obviously
letting people buy something expecting a different thing is not the wisest business strategy
if you expect sales in the long term, because
this way you will only have a bunch of disappointed customers
So why do I consider it good news?
Because for me this is also part of the experience, and having no info at all is excruciating
but being in the middle of a marketing campaign that's a whole different story, and I expect
them to do something something
What am I expecting?
Warning, this is pure and wild speculation, and not the first time I say this
I'm expecting an Alternate Reality Gaming
campaign, that is a type of campaign that uses cross-media convergence, meaning they
use different media platforms to create a real-world experience, this was used for example
on the marketing campaign of The Dark Knight, although obviously I'm not expecting something
as huge, because the Dark Knight was fucking insane
and involved 10 million players around the world
fucking insane
But I think this type of campaign totally suits a video game, especially an RPG video
game and especially this one, where you can pick so many sides, you can learn lore by
discovering things, you have the real world, you have the net, the elements are here
As I said, this is speculation, I've been speculating for this type of marketing campaign
for months, we'll see soon if the marketing campaign is also a game
That would be lovely
In terms of what are they going to see with the marketing campaign, the Reddit user Circuithead
found doing a reverse whois that back in 2012 CD Projekt RED registered multiple domain
names, some are the names of megacorporations that belong to the Cyberpunk 2077 lore, like
Trauma Team International, World News Service, Arasaka, or Militech
7 years later, with a quick google check you can see the domain names are still in use,
I'm going to put a link in the description with the Reddit thread for you to see the
domain names, maybe checking them again in the following weeks is a good idea
And I think the video is long enough for today, editing this will be long
Well, folks, thanks for watching as usual, I hope you found this information
useful and amusing, see you in next videos
and stay being amazing
