CD Projekt Red Acknowledges Cyberpunk 2077 Launch Hate as a Trendy Phenomenon
CD Projekt's VP of PR and communication, Michał Platkow-Gilewski, believes that the negative reception of Cyberpunk 2077 at launch was due to it becoming a "cool thing" to hate the game, rather than an accurate reflection of its quality. He acknowledges the need for improvements and rebuilding, but asserts that the game was never broken. While some of the criticism may have been bandwagoning, the game's issues on last-gen consoles were undeniable, leading to its removal from the PlayStation Store. The ongoing redemption arc of Cyberpunk 2077 is evident in the upcoming Phantom Liberty expansion, but it's important not to overlook the initial problems and the work that has been done to address them.
