At the same time, you can't really blame CDPR. They could pay this person an exorbitant amount, only for them to leak all the information anyway.

I certainly agree.

That said, refusing to pay Is a certainty, whereas paying the amount requested Is a possibility.

Would be bizarre if it was an inside job.

That's actually the first thing that crossed my mind.

Combined with the poor launch, I'd say it's pretty possible they're suffering at the hands of an employee. The note is so terribly written that it almost gives the theory credibility. With how many decent titles CDPR has released in the past, it's hard to believe this would be caused by pure incompetence.
