Dear gamers,
First of all, we would like to make all your eyes bleed by having this statement in an image with a bright yellow background, so that you wouldn't be able to even copypaste it into a more readable environment, because that is how much we care about user experience.
Toodle pip!
...is what I assume this statement says, because there's no way I'm reading that mess.

Aaaanyway.
What a massive mess up this is turning out to be for CD Projekt.
On the Crate & Crowbar they said that this was one of the best selling games of recent times, or something. I never played the Witcher 3 (I have 1 but got bored in the first hour) but I understand that had bugs on release too, so it seems par for the course almost.
That refund issue though Vae, wow. Has Sony ever done that before? How fo CD Projekt come back from that? And how will it affect the PS5 and XBox Next Version versions?

Wow. Is the PS4 version really that broken then? This must be a huge blow for CD Projekt, which is a shame because I like what they're doing, but I suppose that they deserve all this.

Sony revoking CP77 from their shop has made the national news here. Amazing. Why would the nation care about this? I guess there isn't much real news, because of corona, and with xmas around the corner.

Seems pretty big in terms of gaming news.
Can anyone name another AAA title which was pulled from a distribution network on the grounds of quality?
Especially one as hyped as this one.
ESPECIALLY given their "release date - when it's done" ethos.

Arkham Knight was pulled from steam for a while. That's the only one I can think of.

I really don't appreciate having to hose down this thread after an extremely busy week. Anyone wanting to discuss the nuances not related to the game itself head (
https://www.ttlg.com/forums/showthread.php?t=150954) over here but I wouldn't recommend it. Any resumption of those topics here will result in bans - keep discussion at least moderately related to games, thanks.

"When it's done"
id Software used to say that when they were independent, and even then it wasn't entirely true. These days, all it means is "we're not ready to commit to a firm release date at this time."
As people have pointed out, Witcher 3 was a buggy mess at release. However, it had a lot less hype and anticipation. Cyberpunk 2077 is probably the biggest and most anticipated release of 2020, so a failure out of the gate like this is definitely newsworthy. Sometimes I get tired of whinging gamers, but in this case I'm glad people are holding them to a reasonable quality standard.
