The head of CD Projekt Red is still painfully aware of the rocky launch reception Cyberpunk 2077 had and says that the company still has work to do to win back gamers. While Cyberpunk 2077 worked fine on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S, the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One versions were not up to par. He hopes that the long-awaited The Witcher 4 can win back fans when it launches in the future.
“I’m not 100% convinced we went through the full redemption arc. I’m convinced that we lost the faith of some people indefinitely, and that’s fair … But I do hope we will be able to make it back”
At least they owned up to it. Honestly it was unacceptable how cyberpunk launched, but cd project red is a really good company, all of there games are physical, they have some of the greatest dlcs of all time, and they respond to fans.
They falsley advertised to consumers and lied to investors. No they are not a good company F them!
the dev of No Man’s Sky did the same thing yet people are more forgiving of them, what gives?
Goomba fallacy
They were an inde studio, and continue to make right by their fans ten years later with free major updates and no microtransactions
Agreed and most their staff left for Rebel Wolves or Warhorse or the GOG spinoff. It’s a shell of itself all because of bad management and scamming. Europe is full of this France with Ubisoft and Poland with CDPR both full of it complete liars and con artists.
They should have been shut down they lied to investors and consumers. False advertising and fake footage claimed to be gameplay. Disgusting they came back, I blame morons who supported this it’s why companies do not respect consumers.
good. they have to know that you can’t assume things. Cyberpunk showed that it needed time to be a masterpiece, and that sometimes is better to wait instead of publishing something when you shouldn’t.
Nah. If anything, they were forgiven way too quickly. The CP2077 launch fiasco should have, in normal circumstances, decreed the closing of the company.
They made a mistake…yes! But, they at least continued with the updates to make the game right and now with such a big fan base to wow with the Witcher 4 they have the chance to redeem themselves.
Cough, cough a switch 2 physical version perfectly optimized!
The updates were nothing more than their obligation anyway. It’s like wanting a prize for basic decency.
As much as they somewhat owned up to it and delivered it to the Switch 2, it’s still a scandal.
Sega and many other companies do this all the time and never apologize. Hell, Everybody aho bought Minecraft for the original Switch should have a full refund and the game removed from the store. It has been for sell for years and once you play a little while on Switch one, the performance gets worse until Minecraft is physically unplayable. Sonic Forces isnt even a complete game, Sonic Colors Ultimate is a scam as well with DLC Color swapped Shoes, oh yeah, back to piece of Garbage Sonic Forces, they originally charged money for Super Sonic.
Rocky launch? More like lied to consumers showing fake gameplay and lied to investors as well showing them fake gameplay too making empty promises now most those devs are gone like the director of Cyberpunk and Witcher 3.
people whine about cdpr but i beat cp2077 on a xbox one S in first few months of release and it was fine, also the game in its current condition is S tier and continues to look and play better than anything on the market.
That’s the dumbest thing an executive can say.
Fire Ed Boon! Release Injustice 3! Been 10 years!!!!
