Hey CDPR!
I know in today's world we all expect absolute perfection and that in the age of the Internet it's difficult to to find the truth when there are so many people complaining. People complain on the Internet in ways that they would never do face-to-face. So that said, I was wondering if perhaps you guys could open the curtain behind the scenes a little about the following:
1. What was the average workday for you guys after launching back in 2020? I know it didn't go well, but really, the game is truly, truly amazing--and from so many different vantage points. 2077 is a quantum leap forward in video games, and it just hits you on so many different angles, story (the romance options with Panam, Judy, the unforgettable characters, the completely immersive world in terms of advertisements, music (!), questlines, mood, different cultures, I can go on and on, graphics (holy cow NVidia ray-tracing), gameplay (hi hi guns, cars, hacking, cyberware, samurai swords, boxing, general kung foolery)--so much of this game is absolutely amazing. How do you guys feel about the game after working so hard on it for so long and overcoming difficulty that, if I recall correctly, has never been overcome by any other video gaming company at this grand scale?
Honestly, I'm trying to think of another video game that has changed *so much* after launch and somehow gained such a huge following.
2. From a bug standpoint, when you look at things like patch 2.11, on the PC, I'm experiencing a problem with holding down my Z key causing two separate things to happen. First, it zooms, which is good, because that's my aim key. Second, it opens up the Pocket Radio, which is bad, because it's my zoom key. Since there isn't anything in the Key Bindings menu (that I'm aware of) that allows me to fix it, I end up going into inputUserMappings.xml and changing the PocketRadio_Button from IK_Z to IK_Comma. I'm NOT criticizing here, I'm genuinely curious: How do these types of bugs happen? Like, you're managing three different platforms (that I'm aware of) and practically an untold number of configurations of hardware and software for the PC. How do bugs like this usually occur? It's okay to say "Amy made a mistake" by way of explanation, i am just curious.
Really guys, I can't tell you enough how great the game is and while I have not played any other CDPR game yet, I hope you all are able to stay together as a company and you have my unwavering support for all future games you create. If they are anything like Cyberpunk, I can't wait.
