Where CDPR really screwed up is not targeting last gen consoles as the primary development target. PC gamer folks are going to have to put down their pitchforks for a second, and bear with me.
From the business perspective if you want to make money you must target the lowest, most common, denominator. Game studios that do cross platform launches do the vast majority of their sales on console. It's not even close. Even with TW3, 70% of their sales were on console, and that was considered low by industry standards.
What CDPR has done here by shipping a broken game on last gen is to light a pallet of $100 bills on fire. It's possible they don't survive this as a studio, but it could very well be deserved.
- eganist 6y ago> Where CDPR really screwed up is scope creep. That's the only answer. There are tons of other failures, but scope creep was the biggest.
- Strom 6y agoI'm not sure what the current sales are, but for pre-orders 59% were for PC. https://www.gamesindustry.biz/articles/2020-12-10-cyberpunk-2077-racked-up-8m-pre-orders-74-percent-were-digital https://www.gamesindustry.biz/articles/2020-12-10-cyberpunk-...
