    A publicly traded company prioritizing consumer satisfaction over short term profits? Learning from their “mistakes” after they still got a shit ton of money for it anyways and probably will if they do it again? I’m not banking on it.

        Geralt’s flowing locks caused Nvidia cards to crash comes to mind.

          It being released in a essentially a beta state with a terrible UI? half the loot being a bitch to access because you always cast igni? Game breaking bugs and glitch’s? Hard crashes?

          I don’t think they have released one game that was actually release ready yet.

          CP2077 was far worse, but that doesn’t mean the Witcher 3 was okay, it was still absolutely botched.

            This is literally a rewording of what I just said.

                I’m not downplaying anything, but comparing a dumpster to a dumpster fire and saying they are the same thing is, at best, a little misleading.

                The release of Witcher 3 was bad, but it was industry standard bad. Cyberpunk shipped straight up broken and incomplete. It has been fundamentally reworked at least twice since launch.

                I don’t think anyone is apologizing for The Witcher 3 at launch, but let’s not pretend they are the same thing. There are more shades than black and white.

                  It’s more like both are tornados and one is an F3 and the other being an F5. You’re being disingenuous in defending CDPR for continually inexcusable work.

                  An industry standard bad? What’s that even mean? At that point in time games were shipping complete still and not in a beta state.

                  Its always hilarious the excuses people come up with, neither are excusable, yet here you are justifying one… yeesh, give your head a shake.

                    Haha ok so you’re just one of those people whose understanding of the universe isn’t capable of expanding beyond “this good, that bad”.

                    I haven’t defended anyone and never intended to. I’m just saying get your comparisons straight. “Hey this game has a bunch of annoying bugs” =/= “Yo this shit is effectively non-functional and empty”.

        Strangely enough, I didn’t have any game-breaking bugs or crashes and I played it at launch. I guess I was lucky.

          I had the quest glitch where you could no longer progress the story. It was also in the later 25% of the game, so 80ish hours in.
