CD Projekt Red boss says some fans may never forgive Cyberpunk 2077 launch

Cyberpunk 2077's launch was a low point for CD Projekt Red: the PS4 version was pulled from the PlayStation store, the company's share price tanked, investors filed a class action lawsuit and the studio's reputation suffered. The game was nonetheless a commercial success, and CD Projekt used some of those profits to repair it.

Its 2.0 patch, combined with the Phantom Liberty expansion, addressed many problems and helped turn the game's reputation around. Co-CEO Michał Nowakowski said he does not think every player was won back. "I'm not 100 per cent convinced we went through the full redemption arc," he told interviewer Jörg Tittel.

"I'm convinced that we lost the faith of some people indefinitely, and that's a fair thing.
