I am curious to see what the general audience has to say on this.
If I refused to buy games or DLC from companies who'd had a dodgy release, I'd have played far fewer games! Rockstar, Sega, Ubisoft, EA, DICE (before EA), Capcom, Konami, Square and many more would be off the list. CDPR already dropped the ball at least twice before!
Building big games is difficult and requires truly massive budgets and lengthy Dev times - on top of that, trying to adjust Dev + QA procedures because of Covid for the last 20% after 5 years of work? Nah, I'm not switching off - it's only going to hurt me in the long run.
I build software for a living, and my experience of the messy stuff in CP2077 has always smacked of poor management and management pushing the game out. Possibly there were some weak Dev managers in the middle - but the Devs, Artists, Writers etc don't deserve to punished for that.
Patience is a virtue, and one we'd all do well to exercise more in these times.
