    Step 1: Release a shit game early that’s nothing like its trailer and produce a shit ton of publicity through its consequential shit storm.
    Step 2: Spent development time on it that you had originally planned for it anyway to fix things up a little bit, without ever reaching the state of the original trailer and get all the praise for being a shitty company because you’ve apparently done some magical redemption arc.
    Step 3: ???
    Step 4: Profit - and then do it all over again because people are gullible idiots.

    You can apply the same shit to CP2077 and other games btw. At this point it is beneficial to just release a game in a shitty state because now you have the opportunity to use it as some PR mechanism of how great you are as a company for still caring for your games even after a shitty launch.

      It really drives me crazy people defending the CP2077 debacle these days. Like I get it that it’s a fun game but that’s not what anyone is complaining about. We’re complaining about how it’s not and never will be the game they promoted in countless hours of previews in the months leading up to release.

        Or simply the terrible the state it was in. Took them to 1.6 to finally fix the stupid framerate degradation, at least partially. And things like the story will obviously never be fixed.

      Hi there Dark thoughts! I’m just curious as to why you’ve downvoted every single comment I’ve ever made on Kbin. Is this something you do to everyone who downvotes you one time? Seems a little extreme and immature don’t ya think?

        I do it with obvious lurker / alt accounts that are otherwise not active and apparently just exist to downvote other people. Legit accounts and especially those who could actually provide some valid counterpoints aren’t receiving this treatment. This also includes a block, so consider this message a friendly courtesy of mine, but also the last thing you’ll hear from me, as I have better things to do than argue with internet trolls. Have a nice vote manipulative day.

          What the actual fuck? One downvote is all it took and this dude thinks I’m a troll. (Make that two, lol) If anyone else is reading this, I’m very real and this is my main account. Lol. Jesus Christ.
