Maybe Mike should give Cyberpunk license to Zenimax or SWTOR devs, to make MMORPG if that what players want.
He's VERY intentionally not given the license to such companies because they'd turn it into a cyborg first person shooter rather then an RPG about the common man vs the soulless corporation. Cyberpunk is about the "theme" not the action, and Mike has waited until he got an offer from a company that understood that theme.
Mass Effect?
Even in Fallout games I end up living most of the combats to my companion.
Just because another company has made a game with a different emphasis, exploration and combat, doesn't mean CDPR needs or wants to. CP2077 is about an individual attempting to survive and prosper under the boot of the corps/government. If you were running a team of characters that emphasis would be virtually non-existent simply because you were running multiple characters with different backgrounds and life experiences and can't act/react to situations as an individual.
Plus making a decent AI takes time/money CDPR doesn't wish, or need, to expend since it's making a single-player, single-character game. If you want to play a party centric game there are plenty out there, go play one of them.
