Cyberpunk launch was a disaster and the game was a mess, but I think it wasn’t strictly greed based disaster like many others, but more of a fuckup caused in big part by covid. They didn’t have enough time to adapt to the lockdowns and didn’t have either the budget or the will to postpone the launch once again. I’d argue it’s different from just blatant usual shit that other mentioned companies do
Okay. Dev goes into negative shoveling even more money and retaining the original development team into a product they already released to apologize. New expansion completely revamps the game and ignites hundreds of positive reviews and complete public opinion turnaround.
Now remind me when modern EA ever gave a game post release care. Most of their catalogue is just games they already released but with less features now so they can add it back in 4 years as a marketing ploy to be new. They aren’t even in the same league.
Any of the PVZ garden warfare games getting emergency patches to this day, Sims 2 Ultimate Edition being given away for free when Sims 4 launched and technically speaking revamping Sims 4 from an online game into a normal Sims game months before the official release due to the backlash caused by Sims City’s release.
And if we’re talking greed, It Takes Two’s demo allows you to fully play the game if your friend owns the full version, also fun fact, the incredible 3D platformer Fe was published by them, and is worth a try, even if you simply pirate it.
CDPR execs put the Devs under incredible crunch, and then acted surprised when the product wasn’t up to snuff on release. Say what you want about EA, atleast their games aren’t released with game breaking bugs happening in cutscenes of all places. They released the buggy mess known as Cyberpunk2077 not as an Early Access Title, but as a full release, lied about performance on console, and then simply kept one of their promises, that being ‘content updates’, and suddenly everything’s forgiven?
No you’re fine. The other two people just decided to pretend you didn’t see the meme for some reason.
Kinda odd, really. But not a Lemmy bug or anything.
How is CDPR on the same level as EA?
Have you already forgotten the Cyberpunk 2077 launch?

looks at CDPR in the title of the meme as well as the image
Lemmy bug, maybe? Because I replied to someone asking why CDPR was on the same level as EA

Huh, that’s weird. But thanks for clarifying.
No problem. They’re just trolls looking for an argument, that’s all.
