Tell me. How is it an unreasonable expectation when the devs assured us that the graphics would be as good, if not better on release? FFS! P.S. I don't want the XPacks for free, that's just cheap.
The graphics are the same except for ONE, please note it is ONE, setting that was changed the sharpness. Please also note that with the redkit coming out you can mod it back in. This ONE please note again that it is ONE setting, was causing headache in areas with movement on the screen when playing any length of time. It is ETHICAL to tweak the graphics if your settings are causing people to get headaches.
Secondly only a fool ignores all those disclaimers that developers use when a game is in development, subject to change, work in progress, ect. These are telling you that what you see RIGHT this moment ISN'T going to be the same on release. Pc gamers were not in any way lied to deceived. This is a perfect example of how shit the internet is when it gives equal voice to everyone, because LIE can be repeated over and over and over again that be becomes the "truth" in the minds of people regardless of the verifiable evidence to the contrary. It is why loonie tunes don't vaccinate their children even though before vaccinations we had significantly high infant mortality rates and every peer review study has shown that vaccinations save millions of lives each year.
If you honestly think CDPR OWES you something because they were deceptive you are deluded.

Since they mentioned the choice between 2 rendering systems, they could just introduce the other one they had in mind? Or at least do whatever they can to make it possible for the user base to restore some of that ambiance of the old footage.
What like they already said you could do with the redkit? Because the sharpness was the ONLY difference in teh footages.
