They made this number public, 1-3 days after MS, Bestbuy, Gamestop said that they will refund the game. Never ever they had the correct refund-numbers at this date. Even on GOG the refunds are not completed.
I refunded my XSX-Version today. -1

Ecaclty, there was literally no reason for cdpr to make it a point to debunk that thread.
And why bother debunking it, a road map would've served the exact same function and it would've killed the need for random rumour mill threads.
I didn't refund cyberpunk, I got my 200 hours out of it. But I don't see me buying another cdpr game at launch due to their current behavior.
Maybe - but I think anyone who has ever worked for a large company knows just how big those disconnects between the people on the ground and the people in the clouds are.
I've worked so many places where we scream blue bloody murder about how things are not working up to the suits on high - only to be ignored by management who then blindside us with something else and we all laugh merrily as they put out a statement saying "There was no way we could have known, we did the best..." blah blah blah.
Then we all get a nice email saying no-one is to say anything to anyone about what is happening, with a few lines about culture and team and family thrown in to try to guilt / passively threaten the herd.
The problem is almost always with middle and upper management trying to oversell themselves to look good to chase the $ elsewhere. They rarely care about the corpses they leave in their wake, and rarely admit they were the problem, or even are aware they are.
I'd lean to the whole thing being a fault of management structure and then genuinely just weren't' listening.
Yup! Glad they're going to court. May not be the end of the world for them but it's about time folks like this were held accountable instead of condoning the lying.
The investor call says exactly that. CDPR management (surprisingly) took full responsibility, and for that exact reason.
But one need only look at what they took responsibility "for", to understand what's coming down the line. Major last gen console optimization and bug fixes. And that's likely it. Nothing in the investor call assumes that CDPR management feels that there's anything else wrong with the game. When they feel that last gen console performance is "good enough" (regardless of visual appearance), that's it.
And Michał Nowakowski says as much on the call. Honestly, I find that acceptable. To an extent. It's acceptable to the extent that at some point AFTER they initially started development, the focus moved more to the upcoming next-gen consoles. What I find unacceptable, is any unwillingness to refund ANY last gen console user for ANY reason, regardless of vendor source. And I say that because they admit as much in that they FAILED to SHOW last gen console users how the game actually plays and performs on their specific console hardware before they purchased it. And that's on CDPR.
Once the focus shift to next gen hardware occurred, they should have immediately announced that decision to ALL vendors, who could then determine whether they wanted to continue supporting the game for last gen hardware. At that point it would be on the vendors. Not CDPR.
Nothing in the call indicates that CDPR thinks there is anything wrong with the game other than some "bugs, glitches, and optimization issues". There's no mention of the A.I., loot system, perk system, etc.....
So yeah. I'm not holding my breath for very much content-wise.
So?
I've played over 250 hours. It's totally irrelevant to how I (and MANY others these days as more finish the game) feel about many of this game's systems. You fine with it? Cool. You do you.
I personally want some type of communication. All their official feeds are radio silence. When is next patch planned for? Is 1.07 going to be one of the "big" patches?
Must be too busy counting money
edit: I am strictly talking about performance updates, not new content.
What good can talking do at this point?
Talking does nothing, there's been only talks since the game launched, I personally don't care of anything CDPR has to say related to CP2077, nothing they say will change any views I have on them.
I just wish they finish what they started, although I begin to doubt anything I had hoped will come out of this game.
Exactly. And it's why I didn't jump on the refund bandwagon. Taking back my money doesn't further any effort to incentivize them fixing what many of us would like to see fixed.
What I'm saying is repairing the game is primary. However, remaking the game is another story.
I just want to know what's going through the company's head so we know what direction they want to go with this game. I don't want dates for updates. I Just want to hear what's going on...
I would very much like to know what dates for updates will be so I know when the game will no longer be broken.
What the hell are you talking about?
How is fixing broken gameplay elements "remaking the game"?
Why? So they can just delay that date further and further like they did with release? I just want to know what they want to do with the game and they can take their time to do exactly that so that way we don't get this dumpster fire of a release filled with bugs again.
No offense but this game should just be taken off last gen, it's creating more problems than it's worth and those systems don't have the specs required to actually enjoy it as intended.
Considering the game has been unplayable for base PS4's since 1.06 dropped, I would hope Sony is.
