This is a big hit to CD Projekt Red and Cyberpunk 2077 — A game that has been in development for about 8 years and has stalled its 2020 release with delays before finally releasing just last week on December 10. Criticism and backlash came when numerous bugs and performance issues plagues the game, especially the PS4 and Xbox One releases of the game. CD Projekt Red immediately apologized and promised fixes, but it appears that the damage may be done and they are accepting any consequences like any unsatisfied players wishing to refund the game.
