I feel for the devs more than anything, because they didn’t want to release it. Marketing Dept pushed to have it released against their protests, the typical “just ship it” mentality from people who sell things but don’t appreciate how physics work, or how broken the product may still be. When all the customer feedback hit, the devs were like “we know. We needed more time.”

The main positive thing I can see from it all is that the especially ravenous toxic pre-release behavior from customers has changed a bit. People seem more accepting of games getting pushed back so bugs are worked out and things are polished more. That “just ship it” mentality of customers seems to have throttled down quite a bit, which, ironically, was part of what drove marketing dept to release CP2077 before it was ready.
