Well written and I agree completely. I love the game I got at 120 hours despite all the issues I experience almost every moment in the game. It is clear the game is unfinished and that fact is in your face all the time.
Like you say if CDPR had been open an honest about the state of the game and done their own version of 'early access' I would have still got it the second it came out to play it. I'd just be a hell of alot less disappointed with what I got.
For me CDPR completely deceived me with regards to the progress of the games development. I knew the game wouldn't be 100% what they envisioned over the years and things would get added later, but many things I remember CDPR saying was already in the game is not, instead having incredibly simple and buggy patch jobs in their place.
