Sure - blame the publisher or the developer - I don't care which one. But it isn't the public's fault for having bad thoughts about a game with seriously borked launch. Devs/Publishers should know that has a permanent impact on perception of the game, and perception of the studio.

For the record, I'm agreeing with you; the hype and marketing for CP 2077 was the most intensive and pervasive campaign I have seen for a video game in a long time. The game failed to deliver on a lot of counts, and this is coming from someone who suffered through Witcher 3 at launch, running at 40 FPS on a tiny notebook with a GTX 860M. Even through these issues, that game was fun. CP 2077 just... wasn't.

Yet something like no man's sky happened. That couldn't have imagined a worse launch, and really they deserved it. But, they really did regain the trust of the public by adding all that was promised and more. For free. In my personal view they more than redeemed themselves. I still find it a bit boring but that's to be expected with so much RNG/Autogen. It's inherent to the type of game. But all the initial shortcuts taken have been fixed. CP2077 never bothered to do this. I love the game and the story but some parts feel ridiculously hollow and short. Like the 3 starter paths. There's so little unique content in them that I'm sure they were so heavily cut that the only reason they were kept at all is that they had already been promised. I really wish stuff like this would have been filled in after release. The subway system someone else mentioned is another example. The fast travel option we got feels like a cop out.

  I watched the project manager (?) of no man's sky outright lie in interviews about it for so long I don't care that they fixed it. He lied over and over and over again. I wouldnt buy anything he's associated with. It helps that its just another survival resource gathering game and I just dont care about it. CP2077 looked like something I'd enjoy. It definitely needs more content.
