Anecdotally, I don't personally remember the launch of The Witcher III, but I read a comment that indicated it was also initially buggy. I picked up the GOTY Edition some 3 years later during a frequent sale, played it, and enjoyed it. It's still a frequent top-seller on Steam according to SteamDB, and it's a 5-year old game. Unless CDPR drops the ball in a major way, I'd expect Cyberpunk 2077 to have a similarly long-tail of popularity, meaning most people who will eventually play Cyberpunk 2077 have yet to do so. There are also a lot of video game players who don't follow video game news.
