    It’s interesting to see how Cyberpunk 2077 is actually selling really well still. Looks like it worked out well for CDPR eventually.

      I mean, it’s a great game. Sure, it was published in a far too buggy state, but story and gameplay wise it is fantastic

        Same question as No Man’s Sky, though. Sure, the game wasn’t good on release… but they stuck to it, fixed it, and now it’s better. So what matters more, that they screwed up initially or that they managed to patch it up over time?

          Yea CDPR doesn’t really belong in this picture. They always put in a ton of time and effort on their releases to make right by the fans. The other guys, not so much…

            Arr you nuts? Of course they belong. They released a game that delivered nothing of what they promised, and it straight up didn’t work on old Gen consoles. They are absolutely guilty.

              players complained about delays so shareholders told them to release an unfinished game, players complained about unreleased game

              just cant make some people happy

          It’s not one or the another. It’s good that they fixed it but it doesn’t make up for the blatant lying and releasing it as a broken piece of shit.

    There was so many people waiting for Cyberpunk that they were basically in a lose-lose situation. I think they reflected on that, given that they gave up making their own engine, mostly to eliminate time spending on fixing the engine

      And if there’s something of value in the pre order (bonus DLC, pre-install before launch, etc), you can just pre order it the day before it launches.

      You get your “stuff” and the company accountants don’t get to squeal with delight 3 months prior to launch.
