I really think they're overestimating how bad the CP2077 launch was. Compared to No Man's Sky it was just a slightly bumpy start. That said, what turned me off was the lack of a 3rd-person perspective and the general setting. A dystopian corporate hellscape "future" is just too close for comfort in reality! I'm sure I'm not the only gamer excited to return to the fantasy world of the Witcher.

People are too kind in hindsight. What was promised and what was delivered were two completely different games.

Comparing Cyberpunk to No Man's Sky is unfair too.

No Man's Sky is an indie game, who's team - normal people - simply made mistakes, and later made up for them.

Cyberpunk is a product (or service) from a multi billion dollar company that made 100% calculated and deliberate decisions.

This is a very important distinction to make when judging these two (and many other) titles and studios.

They didn’t make mistakes. Their studio flooded and they lost everything.
