Read more about Cyberpunk 2077➜ https://cyberpunk2077.mgn.tv
Cyberpunk 2077 has been one of the craziest launch windows in Gaming History. Lawsuits, investor anger, pulled from stores, refunded en masse… and so much more. The government steps in… the company loses value, but the stage is set for a silver lining as this game might have finally broken through the veil between investors, management, developers, and gamers.
Ultimately some good will likely come of it all, with a game (in the end) that deserves your time. I spend so much time on the negative… Id like to try and see the positives here.

The need for 'influencers' to always be covering the latest crap is also a driving factor in this. Where your average gamer might be happy to wait 6 months+ before playing, social media people only play things on launch. I have no problem picking the game back up in a year, but anyone making a living off of gaming content won't get paid for that.
This game me wary that persona 5 strikers steam version will be full of bugs
They REEEE at CDPR
But really pc players are getting shit ports every year, but when the console peasants get the bad port ONCE, they move rocks to ban and destroy one company
Still gonna play this game when stuff gets patched and added. Put in almost 150 hours at this point. I'm having fun and I think that's all that matters for me. On top of that, I don't feel insulted by the storyline unlike with TLOU2.
It was my first and last pre order. I did exactly what you said: had my pre order on Steam, canceled it and pre ordered on GOG so that they receive the whole amount. I'm an old dude by internet standards, i wasn't overhyped, even comented in some places and was telling some buddies that it's going to be a flop not necessarily because the game was going to be bad but because no game, no matter how good, innovative or polished could ever live up to the kind of hype that this game had. But i wanted so badly to be wrong that i convinced myself to pre order; kept telling myself: "Oh c'mon, don't let the cynicism you've accumulated over the years make this decission for you; it's CDPR, they're going to deliver". Yeah. Never again. P.S: I don't blame this on the devs, i blame it on the management, the rich suits and the entitled mass of creatures screaming GIVE US THE GAAAAAAAAME! WE WANT THE GAAAAAAAME!
While I understand the shitty game that released to consoles, I can't help but think back over the years all the PC games I've bought that were shitty ports of a console game. That said, I don't think that console gamers deserve a game like what they got.
Gamers are stupid, they will ALWAYS consume product. They will get mad but they will always still CONSUME PRODUCT. A tiny fraction may learn, the majority will not.
the developers have my complete sympathy and support for what they went through. i can only imagine how how they felt hours before launch. after 88 hours of playing and exploring night city i knew that the devs made this game with their heart … and yes the story is masterpiece and one of the best cyberpunk stories i have ever seen
but i have ZERO sympathy for cd projekt's leadership.
You are still in denial. There is nothing great about this game. It's a mediocre mess. And it will never be fixed. They won't even give modders a proper devkit. This game will ever be nothing more than a colossal failure.
there was a lot of hubris in cdpr. they were crazily ambitious. they created their own trap in the end. most game cos are like that tho. being humble in the process and cautious in deliverables seems like a cultural impossibility. alot of that arrogance was to attract capital i bet. devs are usually put to the screws to deliver on impossible biz dreams. will humility and respect for limits be more a thing in the future. i hope so. im skeptical. over 20yr vet here. i follow on odysee as well btw.
So I guess I should wait for deathloop and stop hyping it … this is soo sad to say
"This developer made cool stuff the last time maybe this will also be cool"
Time to pre-order star citizen!
All that matters is this game made a massive amount of cash, nothing else really matters. This will teach other developers to replicate the marketing hype and give inferior products. we get the games we deserve, we learn nothing.
Another good thing about Cyberpunk’s demise is that devs will now focus more on creating capable AI and it should speed up the progression of sentient simulations.
After finishing The Witcher 3's main story I felt a deep sense of loss. A great sadness that was only mitigated by playing the DLC. After finishing the main story line of Cyberpunk 2077, I felt nothing.
Of you bought anthem full price and did the same with CP you can blame the mirror and the mirror alone
to be quite honest, i still like the game (playing on PS4 Pro), but i do understand the pain in the ass that glitches, other bugs, and outright crashes have caused people. I'm never expecting a perfect game, and this one was clearly not perfect, but at the same time i'm on my second play through because there is enough there that works for me to invest in that whereas there are other titles that couldn't even begin to get my interest despite being unequivocally better polished upon release. this whole debacle really just highlights the concept that people have different opinions, and because of that sometimes people go George W. and are all with us or against us. a person can recognize that the game has plenty of flaws, but a great concept and story, and not knee-jerk into an absolute hatred into the situation. UEG you speak so well to this issue – holding everyone accountable that is actually accountable – and with great clarity of thought. keep on doing great work.
Sadly, the average gamer will learn nothing from this.
3 of my friends pre-ordered this game and they felt that the bugs were not that bad or even sometimes funny…"just keep a back up save". One of them in particular is a flat out fanboy and defends both the game and CDPR calling "hater" to anyone and everyone that criticizes the game or CDPR.
If this type of launch issues were to actually make a change, we would've seen them already.
Anthem
Fall out 76
No man's sky
Just to name a few of the games that promised but never delivered, people pre-ordered, got robbed, didn't learn shit and pre-ordered the next overhyped game anyways.
Mind you a lot of people from my group of friends couldn't give less of a fuck about Cyberdung 77 me included, but those that did, still defend it to this day.
I put 189hrs into it, over 3 play throughs. I already got my monies worth and am keen to go back in 12months time when it's finished. I agree it was over hyped and under delivered, but it is still a great game imo.
I think we got the message by now…
Re3r was the last time I pre ordered. Absolute disgrace
I did preorder the game on GOG, something I rarely do, in the Simply Red bundle and at the time I remember thinking ok I'm going to do this and if Cyberpunk sucks, which I don't think it does at least not on PC but it's not finished by a long shot, at least I also got 5 other games that don't suck.
You should make a video about Odysee and its benefits. I had created an account there, and subscribed to you, but I didn't know for instance you made more money if your vids got watched on Odysee rather than YT. If you genuinely think this platform holds a chance to achieve something against YouTube, and find direct interest in us watching your content over there, you really should make a video about it. Can't hurt your plans, can it?
Dude no one's learning lessons from this. 1) Gamers are some of the dumbest people on earth (they play mobile titles, buy microtransactions, etc. 2) 60-100 bucks simply isn't much money to most people, so regardless of whether they got burned by a buggy launch the preordered, they'll forget it by the type the next hype train arrives.
Poorly kept secret, everyone knew this game was broke before it launched. Surprised anyone was surprised.
for the algorithm
It's the Live Service Model to Star Wars Battlefront 2's Loot Boxes.
If everyone who pre ordered this game would be publicly laughed and pointed at by large maybe more sheep would feel the heat of the brand that marks them as a mindless consumer for corporate marketing and the slave of their own urges that seeks instant gratification and just more and more and more . But that would be instantly labelled as toxic and all the istophobes by the gaming urinalists who primary job became to be the marketing arm for some of the big boys and secondary is to do activism and the will to inform/help/protect the customer is long gone…
There wont be to much change because of this , because only the ppl who trusted cdpr that they are different and better , who already knew pre ordering and mindless hype are bad but let their guard down because of that trust got burned enough to never do it again…
