Yeah it reads to me more like they were pressured to release it quickly before the holidays by investors, and the decision makers didn't listen to those below saying that it just couldn't be done (to the quality everyone expected).
I've been playing it on both PS4 Pro and PC and haven't experienced any game-breaking issues, and I was as hyped about this game as anyone (huge fan of the original RPG and CDPR in general), but I still would've preferred they just came out and said "We fucked up, we need more time" and delayed it until next year. People would've been pissed, media would've eaten them alive, but ultimately when the game came out it would've been 10x bigger than it is even now, and the game truly has potential to be one of the greats... after about another year of work.

DNF was a product of the culture of the 90s, and just didn't work when it was eventually released. There's a real risk that if Cyberpunk was delayed further, whatever cultural winds drive its sails (and sales) could shift and the game would stall.
- Sohcahtoa82 6y agoYeah, Duke Nukem 3D was shocking for its time. Duke Nukem Forever just feels like your creepy uncle telling the same sexist jokes from almost 25 years ago. The shtick didn't age well.
