I'm not sure the question about "downgrades" is valid at this point. The game isn't even released yet. It would be valid after the release if it's indeed the case.
You are 100% right but is this not normal to ask about it? I seen the trailers and we have to say the new 2015 looks "Different". Before I spend our hard owned money, I think we have a right to know directly from CDPROJECT whats going on? I thought to ask is not a sin...
