    Hypetrain game + publisher shenanigans… Pretty sure I’ve heard this one before.

      At least the hype train was built on its merit and not an ad campaign.

        Was it though? It was full steam ahead even in the early days when the servers were overwhelmed in what seemed like a classic case of the dishoom effect.

        Don’t get me wrong, it’s a fine game, but I think folk got carried away.

          I guess what I am saying is it was organic. Cyberpunk and many other games that are hyped are hyped because of marketing campaigns done by the the studio. People get the game, it sucks, and people are mad.

          This game just existed, the community decided it was awesome and got their friends to get in on it and so on. It blew up because it was fun to play and the the devs weren’t shitbags. The devs didn’t expect it to blow up the way it did, thats why the servers sploded.

          This game blew up organically, due to players experience. I am still having a blast
