Summary
CD Projekt Red's co-CEO believes that the reputational damage from Cyberpunk 2077's disastrous 2020 launch has not fully healed, despite the game's remarkable turnaround over nearly six years. The game was initially released as a buggy, unplayable mess that led to investor lawsuits, but after hundreds of millions of dollars in fixes and updates, it is now widely regarded as a must-play title. However, the company's leadership still feels the lingering pain of that failure.
