It surprises me how many gamers are still falling for what the mainstream media says. They tell you what to feel. They train you to expect whatever, to not expect whatever, to be disappointed by whatever, and so many jump to their commands right on cue like trained animals.
People should know better after what happened circa 2014. Remember all that stuff about dishonesty in gaming journalism and how it turns out we can't trust very much of what they write?
The outrage about Cyberpunk was not exactly a grassroots one. It was astroturf all the way. They manipulated many gamers into being outraged over the normal growing pains that every large game goes through. They ordered you all to bark angrily, and some of you did indeed bark angrily.
You've been emotionally manipulated, if you fell for it.
Notice that the outrage campaign, complete with getting people to demand refunds and getting Sony to remove it from their store, was all rolled out just as the game was rolling out.
Who knows why - that part's all guesswork (real life corpo corruption/politics/competition/whatever), but it did happen, and gullible people parrotted them right on cue.
The only actual serious problem (the save files getting corrupt due to size) happened way AFTER the outrage campaign started, so that's obviously not what the outrage was about. And, that serious problem was quickly fixed in a reasonable amount of time.
And now, Forbes is telling you to both expect huge changes from 1.2, and to also be incredibly disappointed in it. Don't fall for it.
