I think Cyberpunk was only able to turn itself around because the studio got so famous with The Witcher and people were willing to give them another chance. If they hadn't been famous already, it'd just have been another rando shitty game on Steam, of which there are thousands...
But then there are stories No Man's Sky too, which had a miraculous turnaround as well. So maybe it can happen sometimes...
- bsder 3y agoThe anime Cyberpunk: Edgerunners had a significant impact on getting people to look at the game again. That's a black swan that can't easily be replicated.
- Dah00n 3y agoI have a more conspiratorial opinion of Cyberpunks criticism. If you look at Cities Skylines 2 and many other AAA titles, they are just as bad or worse. Yet, the one company that sought to fight the way other developers and publishers behaved got a shitload of criticism for what was - in my opinion - a much smaller problem. CS:2 is much worse, Starfield is way more buggy, etc. In my opinion, Cyberpunk was punked by the gaming industry to harm CD Project Red. I have no proof at all, of course.
