Their reputation is at stake, and it's their baby. They must improve all the things they could, in five years that game will still be sold. Also they already have won much more than what they paid for the development and the marketting of this game. They have the resources actually.Fixing the game should be the first priority. And that will take up most of the resources anyways.
By fixing I'm talking ALL the bugs. I'm talking a police system that actually works, police that actually follow you ect ect.
RPG mechanics that actually work and scale properly.
Just adding more story before these fixes is not going to cut it. It is always best to do CP2 with all these systems in place and a new fresh platform that people are not shitting all over.
One step after one step. Let's not be in hurry, that's never good. Before thinking about the next game in 8 or 10 years, how about we make this one a masterpiece like it should be.
