New details have emerged that shed light on CD Projekt Red's mishandling of Cyberpunk 2077 to be removed from the PlayStation Store, and many players have reached out through various avenues to secure refunds.
There has been no shortage of criticism aimed at CD Projekt intentionally deceived customers and investors about the game's level of preparedness. The polish studio must now defend itself against multiple class-action lawsuits that are being pursued by CD Projekt shareholders.
In a series of tweets based on CDPR developer testimony, damning report on Cyberpunk 2077's development has emerged.
To its credit, CD Projekt Red has publicly acknowledged its failure to release a fully prepared game and clearly understands why consumers are so upset with the game's abysmal performance, especially on consoles. Despite all of the issues that continue to mount, there is light at the end of the tunnel for now, at least. Cyberpunk 2077 received its last big patch in late December and two more are planned, and a newly released roap (while vague in of timing) seems to promise a functional game by the end of the year.
CD Projekt Red has a long way to go if it ever hopes to inspire consumer and shareholder confidence again. In order to do achieve that ultimate goal, the studio will need to be much more transparent in all its future Cyberpunk 2077 updates and improvements continue to be applied, as the developer and publisher CD Projekt's lack of transparency and planning is what it got them to this critical point.
Cyberpunk 2077 is available on PS4, Xbox One, Stadia, and PC.
