No you missing absolutely nothing. Its called social media pandering and its the essence of everything wrong with CDPR on the title. They hype-trained this game for 8 years, when it was only in development from Mid 2016 and now they doing their very best to invoke that "we love you consumers, we will make this the game you asked for".
Executives probably had a nappy rash after their investor/shareholder meeting, which is available for us to listen to by the way and some of the Senior Devs wanted to, in their own way help ease their plight.
While the sentiment is not lost on me, I too agree with you.. We have this brilliant platform but it is not truly being harnessed to its upmost potential to bring additional QA/QT from the very consumers they seek to satisfy.
Given they lost a billion dollars in stock value, some pandering would be beneficial for everyone right now. I'm entirely happy if they can fix the bugs.
I also wouldn't MIND if they catered to the whims of us fanboys.

"- if people choose to believe everything in the the various content shared up to release was "in the game" that's on them not the company."
- that's called lying
"If in my opinion if someone is going worry about the final product they should not preorder or even buy on day 1 they should wait till about 5 days later and read all the first impression reviews , social media impressions and game play videos and then decide if they buy it."
- maybe CDPR should have not deceiving people into pre-order their product if they don't plan to deliver what people are paying for
"
the rants about " missing features , 'the game we were promised" and 'false advertisings " did not take into account everything we saw and herd was not the finished product but part of the open development cycle .
they shared an opened development process. They may have had 100 Ideas over 4 years of development if only 40 made it into the game. That was the finished game."
- they promised an EV and they delivered a Ford Model T pulled by a horse .. technically both are cars and will move you from A to B
"If they choose not to and are unhappy my opinion is that is not on the company but on the consumer ."
- just wow... [...]

Absolutely false. They released an announcement trailer for Cyberpunk back in 2012 and then it was complete silence as they worked on the Witcher 3. The first thing gamers even had an inkling that the game was still even being worked on was the infamous beep tweet back in 2018.
People are forgetting that twitter is for their personal social media accounts. Thousands of people can see their tweets and reply to them. I've also been seeing enough criticism there as well. They know what people think about the game.
My feedback is simple:
"From the creators of the Witcher 3: Wild Hunt"
Cyberpunk 2077 doesn't feel at all it was made from the same studio or creators.
The immersion and RPG elements in this game is in a horrible state.
Fix the bugs, release the "complete game" via free DLCs and give us new stories on Paid DLC.
Give us the full experience in the Single Player and naturally we all will consume your Multiplayer after.
Don't turn yourselves into a new Bioware

Hi Willow. Valid point but then again, the share price will recover over time. If you look at the 5 year trend, alot of that was directly due to over eager hype marketing and that Cyberpunk would save 2020.As to catering to us, the fans, I would have have applauded him saying that he is spearheading this big feedback drive and channeling us to the forums... maybe a specific template for reporting the feedback.
Just a screenshot, nothing else has to be added to that comment of yours.
I wont even get started on your other points.
I love CDPR but the fact that they only used PC review copies and forbid the use of personal footage smacks of ass covering.
The thing is that didn't actually protect people from finding out once the game launched so I didn't know what they hoped to achieve.

Thereafter yes, the beep tweet and the subsequent hype commenced but I don't know how you can't call that building a hype train.
Easy,
It's years of absolute silence. You can't hype silence. I was around for all of that time, I've had people, friends even, concerned that this game was cancelled because there wasn't anything. That's why the beep tweet set people off.
The hype skyrocketed when Keanu Reaves went on stage.
I would say E3 2018, but yeah, the hype definitely went up with Keanu as well.
to me it absolutely feels like it was made by the same studio. the game is basically the witcher 3 with guns.
Sure, I can respect your opinion on that.. my point regarding the hypetrain is creating distorted perceptions due to marketing techniques has no place in selling any consumed product.
Yes, one of the biggest mistakes imho was implementing the same Point of Interest system utilized in the Witcher 3. They should have take a far greater emphasis on using the fixers or utilizing your cyberware or vehicles to tune in to the NCPD incident stuff. Hell even visiting a local NCPD precinct for the criminal behavior.
That's fine. I was commenting that you said there was a hype train that lasted the entire 8 years from when the game was first announced to release. That is undeniably false. The hype train started in 2018. Your point still stands though. It is also undeniable that CDPR/marketing said a lot of things that was not representative of the final product. I can forgive it for the 2018 48 minute gameplay video, I cannot forgive it for everything that they said in 2019 onward. They knew what the game was by then and what they were saying was not the reality of the game.
