Just skimmed an article the other day that nVidia will start limiting crypto-mining on their chipsets which would help with the availability of higher end cards for gamers as crypto-miners would be less likely to buy them all up.
I don't want another thread devolving into "they should've dumped the old-gen" argument. I personally disagree with the sentiment that old-gen held back CP2077 and place the blame elsewhere for a myriad of reason. If we go down that road the thread will get locked, so let's avoid it.
Regardless of our personal stances.
Would it have really?
It's highly speculative and neither of us can say with any reasonable amount of certainty that it would or wouldn't. I personally think it would've helped drive sales on PC and next-gen consoles.
Yet, by how much? Would it really be enough to justify ignoring a very large segment of the market? Which also happens to be the biggest segment of the console market as next-gen consoles are still nowhere near those numbers.
I doubt it.
Ultimately, they focused on maximising sales, knowing darn well that not everyone will switch from a older gen to new gen console immediately. They made the decision and now have to put their money where their mouth is and get it working as a stable release on all platforms they marketed it on.
Ah, original and witty. Good job. So is there any news aside from that?
I'm getting more and more the feeling comments like these gloss over an important fact too easy.
Excluding the game from last-gen consoles is a quick folklore speak of saying the game come to its right on better spec hardware. and for consoles this can be shifted easily into 'generations'
However do not forget the lower-end PCs that aren't last gen or old per se, just low in spec in general. for very easy and straight forward example: lets say for argument sake the game would be build for i7 minimum. I do not wanna know how many people have a PC that simply less than that, either for reason of money, usage or whatever.
But saying to exclude last-gen consoles also inhibits many lower-end PC players and the number of customers that then fall in the water is pretty large I reckon.
So, its not just consoles

Heh, this was actually a response to another thread which got merged and the original (obnoxious) post removed.

They gave themselves an out on the patch incase its nots ready.
CD Projekt co-founder says hacking attack on the company will affect the pace of work in the short term
Earlier this week, Cyberpunk 2077 and Witcher 3 developer CD Projekt Red (CDPR) announced hackers had targeted the company and attempted to hold it to ransom. Now, someone in possession of the data has leaked at least some of it online publicly. The news shows not only the risk that video game...

I agree, they made their bet and now they have to live with it. My only point is now they are literally forced to disappoint all their customers. All resources are finite, and those used to get software running on old hardware can't be used to fix bugs or add features. That's why all patches so far (and 1.2 as well, probably) add nothing for those 8 million PC customers, or for the later-gen console buyers. All hands are on deck for the old stuff, which leaves no resources to address the concerns of others.
Personally, I think they bet wrong, and they'll likely never get performance to a point most old console users will be happy to play the game. Time will tell.
To be honest it looks to me like the leadership went missing in beam counting and "yes man" land to shareholders and the staff were beaten into submission by uttainable goals.
I think this game will be an acceptable beta status in July this year if we are lucky. I think CDPR, anyone that plays cyberglitch 2077 and reports bugs from december untill the end of Feb 2021 were essentially Beta testers and should be refunded the cost of the full game for helping you fix your mess.

I don't mind paying for the game and dealing with it's faults, but now they need to give us extra content for our trouble. At least listen to community requests on DLC requests

The fact they want it to play in last gen consoles does not by any way mean that this should affect max settings on PC. That's why the PC versions have graphic settings after all. They range from low to ultra for a reason. If old consoles have to be on very low quality, why does that affect PC Ultra quality? I literally ran the game after the last patch and I couldn't believe my eyes. The game looked horrible on ultra settings (mostly ultra, RTX on, DLSS balanced). Objects disappearing at cose distance, worse LODs, lights turning on when you are so close to them that it looks ridiculous etc, bad texture resolution etc. This patch not only didn't fix any majob bug and I am also talking about MECHANICS' bugs (mods not working, perks not working etc.) but it also broke the graphics...
I can't comprehend how it affects ULTRA pc settings, the fact that a game has to run on last gen consoles.

Still nothing. Not a peep from CDPR.
"When I started CD Projekt 25 years ago, one of the founding principles was 'honest and direct communication with gamers'."
That is the very first sentence Martin utters in the "Our Commitment to Quality" video.. That was over a month ago (January 13).
