I still love that company. The witcher 3 was amazing, easily one of my favourite games of all time. Cyberpunk had some issues sure, I got it a year or so after release and had fun with it. I really like gog and how everything has no drm and I spend a lot of money there. Compare that to almost every other major competitor and these people are saints.

Cyberpunk had some issues sure

"Some issues" is a very kind way of putting it. The game was unplayable and had frequent crashes and game breaking bugs. Even now, it's never really been fixed for old gen (the gen it was marketed for and sold in a console bundle with), they just turned it into a ghost town, reducing NPC spawn rate and turning off environmental lights to reduce the stress on the system.

And worse of all, they knew all of that, and still sold a broken product, and to ensure that people would buy it, they didn't allow journalists to record their play sessions, only allowing them to use CDPR's marketing videos in their reviews. I could still forgive them for releasing a broken product on the market and fixing it at a later date, if they were at least sincere with their fanbase, but they chose to lie through their teeth because money was more important than integrity.

The fact that they eventually fixed the game on another generation is not enough for me.
