The Cyberpunk Lesson

[MegaManX]

There is no consequence to lying your ass off.

None. Lie like a muthafukka. Hype it up with bullshyt visuals. Talk about mechanics you never intended to do. Show absolutely bonkers customization menus and not have 10% of that on launch.

Go hard on the lie. No one will punish you.

No Man's Sky did it. They not only survived, they thrived.

Cyberpunk is even worse, yet they made absolutely ridiculous profits and barely got a slap on the wirst for releasing a game that literally didnt work at all on console.

Had this been an investment firm lying to their clients, the SEC would have fined them for well over half their revenue.


So any developer not talking out their ass about the features for their game is a fool. Lie your ass off and get that bread.

They didn’t lie they showed us early alpha footage with a huge disclaimer saying everything is subject to change. Thats how you cover your ass. Which is why most developers dont show complete gameplay walkthrough 3 years prior to launch

The part where they were crooked was limiting preview footage and hiding last gen performance.

How is that not the same as lying? They basically said the game was ready when it was not

it seems like their company's image has been severely tarnished. they were one of the few companies that actually had a reputation as pro consumer and pro worker. more bad things keep coming out about them.

Yeah, if anything they should have just let the game come out and suck. Every company has a miss or two, but to do all this extra shyt around it killed the entire companies image.

Perception is everything

They need a big relaunch of the game by fall, no mans sky level relaunch. Next gen versions, with new features, new mechanics, new storylines, new choice mechanics, etc.

They need to change the game as much from release until the re-release as much as tehy did from 2018-to 2020

Pull an FF14

 

[Goombreh]

They got the blueprint from Peter Molyneux and ran with it.

 

[Redguard]

The real lesson is don't pre-order games and wait for actual user reviews before buying a game.

Red flags went up for me when they removed wall running so close to the September launch date ….
