To everyone that has replied to my comment: Up until now, CDPR was seen as this super duper friend of gamers that always thought about them and could never do anything wrong. In the course of a week they have:
- Knowingly lied to the entire gaming industry. Not only their fans and customers, but their investors, their employees and the major console manufacturers.
- Proven that this crunch they admitted and defended months ago was all for nothing, because the game launched at an awful state regardless.
- Banned a videogame from GOG because they want to please the chinease government and instead of being honest THEY SAID THAT THEY DID IT FOR THE GAMERS. LOL
- Released a game in a completely unacceptable state for last gen systems
- Released a game that is missing a crap ton of features and content they said it would have
- Released a game with color/light patterns that can trigger seizures and shielded themselves in their user agreement... despite the fact that said user agreement is written like if it was a joke.
- Released a game with a glitch that erases your save file if you craft too much on PC.
-... And probably more stuff I'm missing out
My point is: things will never be the same for them. It is clear that people can't be forever mad at something and with time and some free DLCs, people will calm down a little. But to even suggest that CDPR will regain the almost untouchable status they once had? I seriously doubt it. They have shown their true colors. They are no different than any other AAA company, despite the small gestures they may have with their physical games and some policies on their store. And that is something that will be remembered forver (or so I think).
