They're only hurting themselves by shooting themselves in the foot IMO.......
Would you rather CDPR went Kingdom Come Deliverance and take White Horse Studios route then? Be forced to release what would've been a PHENOMENAL game if it hadn't been for the game breaking bugs and glitches? All because they had run out of production budget? Why aren't you thankful CDPR doesn't have the production breaking dilemma WHS had to face i.e. where they really needed one year of polish to get KCD to work the way it said on the tin.
Same argument for how Bethesda rushed and pressured Obsidian into releasing Fallout New Vegas on schedule. Obsidian begged Bethesda to give them an extra year to fix the bugs and polish/optimize the game performance. But nope---Bethesda was having NONE of that. So Obsidian took a black eye for being forced to having to release a buggy game. The Fallout modding community eventually fixed/addressed all those issues over time. But it doesn't alter the fact that whenever a dev is FORCED into releasing an un-polished/non optimized for performance title --- just to keep to the release date-- that doing so does NOT end well.
Fast forward nine years later. Obsidian -- acting in the role of it's own dev AND publisher -- TAKES THEIR TIME to release The Outer Worlds. Which -- while limited in scope (i.e. lacking Bethesda engine capacity to run the game world in an open world environment like Fallout) -- was released as a COMPLETELY FINISHED, POLISHED & OPTIMIZED GAME. Period.
TL;DR
Not surprised they were forced to move the release date. This title is INSANELY ambitious and is perhaps the deepest RPG in the action genre the industry has ever seen to date. This delay could be the difference between CP2077 being GOTY 2020 or not. Why can't ppl see that?? They need to do what they think and know will allow them to release a finished game. With minimum bugs and reliable/complete optimization. I'd rather they delay the game than feel they're being held HOSTAGE to the impatient gamers of this fan base. And then be forced to release a buggy title the likes of KCD, Fallout NV or god forbid another Anthem II.
Right. I won't argue with you there. I did feel that yes, they were spreading themselves a bit thin on that end. But at least they didn't go off the cliff by adding VR as a mandatory feature.

CP2077 is most definitely NOT Star Citizen. It's a REAL game which has been vetted by many Youtube influencers. Even if 100% of these influencers hadn't been gushing praise on the demo they were allowed to play in the past. You could clearly see the game play and game mechanics were SOLID. aka you were watching the actual game play from the game engine. And NOT watching some heavily scripted movie mocap with high fidelity graphics, aging former A list Hollywood actors reading an un-inspirational script, and game play features that don't exist outside said movie cutscene demo.
if ppl are so disappointed about the delay that they're going to start demanding #CancelCulture on CP2077, then they need to take their own advice. Cut off their noses to spite their faces by refusing to buy the game when finally releases.
You don't make the "game of games" in what...4 years of development, or else it would have been made by others and with better engines and experience. And as you said, pushing it on different systems it's just gonna hurt the game itself. They went big with TW3 for reasons that are story related, but as RPG elements or story elements and choices there's nothing new here, it has been done before and was a standard in the RPG industry to have multiple choices and so on, I guess the "adult" content pushed it beyond its real value (which was honestly average at a technical level and as a game yes was good but not THAT good and combat was..well not it's strenght..). I think they are being overestimated by the community and customers in general, and all this based on words and promises of good will. Problem is that you can be dedicated as much as you want and be the "nerd RPG lover" type that a certain kind of market is so hungry for, but here everything speaks of the contrary. I'm extremely happy Mr. Pondsmith gave them the green light for Cyberpunk, problem is it's not Cyberpunk 2020, but something entirely different, created to maximize sales today and attract new customers that "heard" of Cyberpunk and , to my knowledge, Cyberpunk was "popular" back when I played it, but not so much as people like to think..and didn't bring that much cash as its creator see the chance right now. This leads to "money first and let's hope to get it right", and I beging to wonder how much this "game of games" will be really innovative for the RPG genre considering the very bad taste and low quality bar we have nowadays. I guess we'll see, but I lowered my bar by a long shot after NCW episodes as I didnt' see anything to be hyped for, at all, all I saw was GTA on neon and an over abuse of trashy colors. The first screenshot of CP was much better and was more serious and got me hyped up for a way better game than I'm waiting now delay after delay which I don't care about it anymore as it looks like a Skittles Box.
The gameplay I saw when it's not cut every 3 seconds it's not next gen, it's actually quite cluncky and bad. Cars got better, and Mocap actors during cinematics are good...I didn't see the game running anywhere yet, and when I saw it (last full official gameplay) was at CSS level.Thank you.

That's just the point. If it CAN'T work on Stadia in a stable, polished format with minimal/negligible bugs, then the game clearly has technical and performance issues with that platform. In the role of the dev, it's their prerogative to release the game on all platforms at the same time. And not that of the fan base. Fans have exactly two choices to deal with this failure state. Either stop complaining, put up and wait. Or don't, go on a social media rampage decrying the dev, and/or boycott the game.
I've been patrolling these threads for nearly five years, and I can assure users that the REDs are aware of feedback from the Forums, along with their other channels. The Devs mayn't always respond, or as often as some would like, but they continue to read here.
but not releasing the game on the platforms it's working on is like saying you can't graduate because little timmy failed his math class and if he can't graduate then you can't either
