    Didn’t they get death threats online too, that probably made things even worse

      Man, gamers have no chill.

      If you want to go after someone, go after the people in charge.

        Seriously. If game companies were warehouses, the devs would be stockers, shippers and receivers. They do not get to make the big picture decisions.

        And let’s keep this in perspecitve: You spent 60 bucks you’d rather not have in hindsight. I mean… it’s not nothing by any means… but it’s not an unrecoverable financial loss either…

        If they want to threaten someone then they should do it face-to-face, not hiding behind the internet.

          I’d go as far as to say maybe don’t threaten anyone with death

        While i completely agree that nobody should be a target of a hate speech, i kind of understand how frustrating cyberpunk 2077 was at release compared to what CDPR promised.

        That’s just an example of what happens when you overhype people and extremely underdeliver. Spoiler: they hate you.

      In the current state of the internet, they probably started getting death threats shortly after the project was announced cuz the kerning on an in-game billboard was a little off.

      Doesn’t take much now-a-days.
