Fine in what sense? Google the class action suit being filed against them. The name might survive all of this but it won't be the same company it is now.

Their image is stained at the moment but they'll be fine.

If anything this shitshow should get them right back to their bread and butter, The Witcher.

Those things usually never go anywhere 99% of the time.

They've lost over $1.4 BILLION with the launch on Cyberpunk, I'm sure that's just peanuts to them.

They could make all that back with a Witcher game.

Hello Games/No Man's Sky went through the same thing and they're doing fine. They're a much smaller studio as well.

It's up to them though. The sooner they fix their game, the sooner things can start swaying to normal for them.

It's not about making it back if you're DOA without the funding to even begin considering that. There's been no word about all the people involved in this shite show and what happened to them. If they're still hanging around, how do you think another Witcher is going to look? A lot like Cyberpunk, a complete failure.

Holy crap what a steaming pile. And there are so many videos just like that one. I love people saying it's just minor technical issues. That shite is raw alpha testing mode.

I refunded last night after about 6 hours playtime total. Got bored moreso than anything else.

I'd say I'll try it again down the road, but not likely.

That was my issue the first week or so. I'd play a little then just want to go and do something else after a bit. I'm about 15 hours in and it finally clicked for me. I'm having a ton of fun with it now.

I think one of the greatest takeaways from Cyberpunk's release is actually something I teach my students; the audience you cater to is the audience that responds to you.

Didn’t Gearbox and/or Sega lose one over Aliens Colonial Marines over blatantly misrepresenting cutscene footage as in game footage?

What fricking world are they living in where the SJW Brigade was going to be supportive of this game?

If they got what they want, they would have been supportive because you could have a non-gendered two-souled alien even if the entire game were only the character generation tool.

If Bethesda is still running, CDPR is going to be just fine.

It means they're mad because even though you can make a chick with a wiener in the character creation system, you can't play as a disabled gender neutral non-binary otherkin BIPOC little person.
