When I read some comments that talk about the game being "dead" or "abandoned" because there are no new additions, I really have to shake my head. When did it actually start that games are only "alive" when there are constantly some novelties and expansions to it?
I mean, when was the last update to "Monopoly"? And, is the game less fun now?
I've been playing Cyberpunk 2077 for almost a full year now, almost daily, it's still the same fun as it was in the beginning, I'm still discovering new things in it. There have been a number of technical improvements and visual changes in that time, and one DLC with a couple of jackets and a car (which I don't need or use).
I am happy that patches and bugfixes are still being released, and I hope that Cyberpunk 2077 will eventually reach a state that can be called "polished". Even if - because it is software - it will probably never be "bugfree".
Of course I look forward to an expansion/sequel to Cyberpunk, just as I look forward to a new book by one of my favorite authors or a new movie with one of my favorite actors. But will the last book or movie be worse because the author might not write any more books or the actor might not make any new movies?
I still have an older version 1.22 (thanks to GOG Offline Installer) that I play often (mainly because of Cyber Trucking World, which unfortunately has not been adapted to newer game versions since). I have optimized this version with 200+ mods to a point that I can burn it to CD as completed version, coherent in itself and as a "Definitive Edition". There I don't need to extend or renew anything. I'll still be able to plug this version into the computer in ten or twenty years and play it and have fun.
Just like I load my old Oxyd games onto my Atari from time to time.
