  > Every game is something "never done before" No, you can't really make that claim. There are thousands of clones of more popular games out there, it's not like the game production is massively original to begin with. And yes, Cyberpunk 2077 pushes the boundaries of what we expect from games in many ways - it's going to be one of the most complex games we have on the market to date when it releases.

    It cost more to complete and has less content than GTA III. It's not one of the most complex by any metric. I don't know people bother to defend billion dollar corporations in the habit of lying and misrepresenting their products. People paid them money for a product that was misrepresented in false advertising, I don't know it could be clearer than that as to why they're justifiably outraged. 99.99% of the criticism did not include intimidation, death threats or anything along those lines. CDPR used it as a deflectionary tactic from their own business practices. And no, delays like this are not common. Games get delayed when they're many months away from release (it's obvious then that it's not done). Less than a month? They're either lying or so incompetent they don't know their own progress. Neither excuse the false claims. It's a billion dollar publicly listed corporation. This isn't some indie studio.
