Selvom at det tog udvikler CD Projekt RED lidt tid, så undskyldte de faktisk for den tilstand Cyberpunk 2077 blev lanceret i, og ligeledes undskyldte de også for misvisende markedsføring, og lovede, både overfor investorer og forbrugere, at tage ved lære af hele miseren.
Men nu, efter at spillet er tættere på at leve op til sit fulde potentiale takket være et utal af opdateringer, rettelser og optimeringer, så har piben fået en anden lyd. I et interview med GamesIndustry siger kommunikationschef Michał Platkow-Gilewski, at den kritik spillet fik ved lanceringen faktisk var ufortjent.
"I actually believe Cyberpunk on launch was way better than it was received, and even the first reviews were positive. Then it became a cool thing not to like it. We went from hero to zero really fast. That was the tough moment. We didn't know what was happening. We knew that the game is great, yes we can improve it, yes we need to take time to do it, and we need to rebuild some stuff. That took us a lot of time, but I don't believe we were ever broken. We were always like: Let's do this."
Der er få der er uenige i at Cyberpunk 2077 i dag er et helt andet sted end dengang, men var kritikken dengang unfair? Hvad synes du?
