UOKiK will monitor the progress of work on patches. If CDPR fails to deliver they will be fined up to 10% of their income in previous year.

Great news, CDPR has no choice but to deliver these patches now that they got the UOKiK down their back.



The troubles with the premiere of Cyberpunk 2077 do not end. As it turns out, the game's premiere even interested UOKiK.

While in the case of PC versions, the ratings for Cyberpunk 2077 are good or even very good (despite visible errors), the console versions proved to be very disappointing. For some people it was even unplayable, so there were a lot of players asking for returns, and Sony even decided to remove the game from PlayStation Store. Additionally, due to problems with the game, CD Projekt Red stock price falls which resulted in class actions against the company. Now the UOKiK is also interested in Cyberpunk problems.

Dziennik Gazeta Prawna was the first to inform about it. Małgorzata Cieloch, the spokesperson of the UOKiK, explained the scope of control. As she stated, it is primarily a matter of checking the progress of work on the promised patches, which should make the console versions of the game playable.

We ask the entrepreneur to explain the problems with the game and actions taken by him. We will check how the producer is working on making corrections or solving difficulties that make it impossible to play on consoles, but also how he intends to act towards people who have made complaints and are dissatisfied with the purchase due to the lack of possibility to play the game on their equipment despite previous assurances of the producer.
At this point, it is difficult to conclude whether CD Projekt will be punished. The decision, in this case, will depend on what explanations the representatives of the Office of Competition and Consumer Protection will hear in these cases. The company will certainly not underestimate this, as the UOKiK president's decision may result in a fine of up to 10% of the annual revenue. This is of course the worst scenario from CD Projekt's point of view.

We will probably hear more about the case. Let us remind you that despite a lot of confusion and problems, the sale of Cyberpunk 2077 is performing very well. After 10 days from the release, the game has found 13 million buyers, now the result is probably much higher.

lol , really?
what kind of stupidity is this?
there is no law in the whole wide world that cover this for the gaming industry
cdpr is not making cars or food
they should maybe read the terms - "content can be changing during development "
this made my day
Consumer protection is actually pretty common. If a product is faulty or wrongly advertised, it's getting regulated.
 
I don't think this is a gaming industry thing tho.. its a consumer protection.. right now Cyberpunk 2077 is a broken product & false promises so it needs patches ASAP.. i guess this is the play of investors too push CDPR in a corner... personally i don't know if its good hopefully they don't pressure CDPR too much, while kinda threatening 10% of income in previous year. lets be honest CDPR management board brought this all on themselves.. if they had stick with their own promise at the beginning " coming : when its ready " then all of this would have never happened... oh well lets hope the best future for CDPR... first large patch will show us how exactly CDPR will approach cyberpunk.

First patch might not be accurate though, there's only so much they can do in a short time. If they could've fixed this game in a month then they could've just delayed this game by 1 month and avoid all this BS. Why throw away all your reputation, goodwill and risk lawsuits if you could just delay game by 1 month and be okay.
 
no - its not
if they really can go with this (and others will join if ), they destroy the gaming industry on a whole new level
As it is right now? Good!

Will not happen, though, not like this... local, semi-govermental consumer protection agencies are a thing in certain courtiers, and they have power,... in said country.
