"The devs are abandoning it"

That's fucking insane that they say they're finally finished with the game and you twist the menaing into that.

The game was playable on release but sure, pretty buggy. I ran into some funny ones but never one that broke the game so hard it made me throw a tantrum. The game is good now and it was solid back then. I don't get how you find it to be shallow. The story is compelling, the gameplay is compelling, you yourself admit to playing through it entirely periodically.

The game isn't and wasn't a scam Lol. The work put into a game like this, something CDPR has never done, is pretty big. Their big claim to fame is the Witcher series, a third person RPG. They changed perspective to first person and changed it into a shooter. They broke new ground as a studio and you're giving them shit because it wasn't everything you hoped it would be?

I don't talk to people about how much I love CP2077, but when people give it shit back to back and refuse to cut it slack for being what it is? A game Bethesda could have dropped but with a better story, better dialog, better characters, just a better game in general when they've never made a game like this.. I don't get it.

It's like getting pissed that Nintendo didn't make a good Silent Hill themed game. All they've ever known is rainbows and bright colors. Turning mistakes into malice is in itself, malicious.
