When will the game be finished?

Believe me, I want to agree with you. I really do.

Unfortunately, I'm finding it increasingly hard to agree with that opinion. A lot of very shady things happened during CP's marketing campaign and some more has been discovered recently with the addition of the game that was pressed onto disc that was apparently CDPR's version of their game's going gold back in September for the November release. Which is a complete mess. Had they released that... holy shit, things would be a thousand times worse.
usual software engineering processes are not shady just because you do not understand them. The guy exploring it even said about it that it is common to put a version of the game onto disc replete with bugs that they expect to apply a day one patch too.

Too many people with not enough knowledge on a subject coming up with conspiracy theories is what this current generation are going to be remembered by

You're missing my point or I wasn't clear enough on what my point is.

Since you're accusing me of not understanding things, I'm going to assume that you know what a game going gold is. Something CDPR announced CP as back in October 2020 with a November release date in mind.

So, with that in mind, you've seen the build that was pressed onto disc. The version that was apparently ready for release but needed juuust a bit more work. If you thought that what consoles got in December was bad, we're pretty far off with this. It's common to apply a day one patch to them, yes. Whatever day one patch they would've released for that back in November would still be way worse than what was actually released in December.

Point is, that CDPR's ''going gold'' back then, their ''complete'' product would've been far worse than what we received regardless of whatever day one patch they would've released since even with the extra months of work, we still ended up with this. A game that the vast majority agrees needed a whole lot more time to cook. Yet, they made it sound like it was entirely ready, it was just the finishing touch. Polish basically.

Just so we're clear, I'm not trying to spread some conspiracy theory here. Merely stating my opinion based on what I've seen. Whether you agree with this or not it up to you but you might want to ease up on the accusations and the condescendence.
 
This is turning into another "mentioned but missing features", getting off-topic, and starting to seem like a personal skirmish. It also seems to have run its course.

Closed.
