    Watching gamers back peddle on cyberpunk hurts my soul. Just because the game is good now doesn’t excuse the bullshit they pulled on launch but peope just excuse it because it’s good now, they get what they deserve.

      I get what you say, but I bought Cyberpunk after the fixes and it’s legitimately one of my favourite games I’ve ever played. They should’ve never been in this position, but they righted their wrongs instead of abandoning the game and they made it into the masterpiece it deserved to be.

      What exactly do you want done about it? Are people not allowed to like a game if they had a bad launch but have since fixed it up?

      Ultimately, the stakes are pretty low and you can avoid the risk of bad launches by just avoiding new launches in general and see where things stand with the game once the dust settles.

      Personally, I’d take a bad launch year over MTX or invasive DRM/anti-cheat methods that don’t even really work to stop piracy or cheating.
