CDPR rather make PC games so they'll probably just do that and port it to Xbox since its the same family basically

Bad analogy. It would be like if you got home with your new movie but it ran at 10 fps, tons of the audio was missing or running at the wrong sync times, and it crashed the blu-ray player multiple times.

My mod, this is exactly what a few youtubers have touched up on. Reviewers should be ashamed to give this pile of trash game such high scores.
No doubt there is good in the concept but taken as a whole, this game is nowhere near a 9/10.
A 9/10 game is Red Dead 2 and that game absolutely mops the floor with Cyberpunk in all areas.
EDIT: I mean jesus christ, i didn't even know the loot system and economy is broken as well alongside the police AI spawning right next to you when you do something illegal and seemingly giving up chasing when you run around a corner. This is PS2 level tier nonsense in a 2020 game.

Did you miss the movie trailer quote? Movie trailers mislead us all the time.

It's a private company deciding if they want to have a bugged game on their platform or not, there's nothing wrong with it.
CD Projekt RED released all the trailers of Cyberpunk 2077 running on top tier PCs and hide last gen console gameplay from everyone, making people believe the final product on last gen consoles would be at least similar to what was shown in the trailers.
They basically lied to everyone, and all the pre-orders paid the development and marketing costs.
Sony is right to do this, otherwise it will reforce this practice in the industry of generating unrealistc hype and hiding information from costumers so they can't have an informed decision about their purchases.

Probably when your customer support line gets clogged with people wanting you to give their money back cause a company lied about their "finished" product on previous generation consoles... and on top of it, when said company maintained "Sony will give you refunds!"...
Yeah, you maybe, just maybe have enough of it.

Sony trusted CDPR to fix their game pre-release. In return, they got tens of thousands of refunds to process and lose money on thrown at them. That was obviously another dick move so imagine the tension behind the scenes. Curious about Microsoft's is gonna do next as here the situation might be even worse

I absolutely cannot fathom how up your own arse you'd need to be in order to seriously argue that this is some sort of "SJW" thing.

Bugs are not an excuse to pull the game. You can fix bugs and it's not like they have refused to fix the game.
This is just overreacting.

Depending on severity, they very well can be.
Why are you so butthurt about this? Does Sony not have the right to sell or not sell whatever they please?

I wonder if they will talk to the "yellow chairs" gang about promoting their game...

Aren't the next gen version better in terms of stability? Or maybe next gen is just as buggy.
What they could do is keep the next gen versions alive on PSN.
Oh well. That's what happens when game companies need to hit that Christmas rush, and combined with probably 90% of gamers hooked up to the net. The good old..... "don't worry gamers, just download the patch"

Guessing Sony was starting to get overwhelmed with refund requests, can’t blame them from removing the game until it’s in a more enjoyable, playable state. I like CDRed but they can’t be mad(not saying they are) about this. It’s a rational move by Sony that should happen more.
Also everyone comparing this and asking why Skyrim never got the banishment, probably different management and I imagine the exotic hardware of the PS3 had a lot to do with its troubles. The game ran decent on the 360, wasn’t perfect but ran quite a bit better.

All said and done this is good from Sony.
BUT...this game is good and has promise. I will take my refund If i can and return to it when they have fixed it. I'm just annoyed the game released in such a state in the first place.
I feel sorry for CDPR developers, i don't feel sorry for CDPR management. They've screwed over the hard work of the devs and one has to wonder when heads will start to roll over there.

And some folks were saying that The Last of Us 2 wouldn't be a GOTY if Cybrerpunk came out earlier.

Nice move from Sony, they know Xbox can't do it because their marketing deal with CDPR so now they have the moral high ground. At the end of the day it's Sony's fault too, they're trying to shift the blame to CDPR when Sony knew how the game was before authorizing it for sell. Bad Sony trying to fool us.

At first, I thought it would be hard to wait for the true next gen patch. Now, I'm happy I didn't get for PS4. I hope stores pull physical off shelves to prevent some sad Xmas day surprises too.

With the court case between Epic and Apple, I think both Sony and Microsoft are taking a stance that says, we won't certify the game for release, but the decision to release is now in the hands of the publisher - unless widespread consumer demands for refunds corroborate that the public believe you product fails the sale of goods criteria, and then we'll remove it from sale.
If the game was polished it would be a great game but you don't release something on consoles that is completely unplayable. The more I play it the more it keeps not running right and if RDR2 can run well on all platforms with the insane graphics it has then certainly they could have gotten this game to do so.

I think the difference is Bethesda didn't come out and make a statement about how they'll be offering refunds whereas CDPR has... And it looks like Sony are either essentially calling the bluff or are tired of dealing with it.

Works for me, to be honest. I already got No Man Sky'd, and I've never known a CDPR game (been playin since the first Witcher on PC) to be stable on release. I was gonna wait a few months anyway. Now it looks like the early-adopter outrage will force them to make it a better game that I'll easily be able to buy at a discount when I feel like it.

I'm laughing my ass off at this whole situation. You know you done screwed up with your game when it gets pulled off the store like this. To think there are dumbasses calling this mess a game of the year or game of the generation contender. Yeah maybe biggest mess game of the generation. This is also what happens when you throw companies like Sony under the bus. Fuck CD Projekt Red

Lesson of the story for CDPR: Don't piss off Sony with haphazard business decisions.
At the very least TLOU2 is playable and pretty much bug free. Druckmann must be glad this is happening.And some folks were saying that The Last of Us 2 wouldn't be a GOTY if Cybrerpunk came out earlier.

I remember Unity in 2015 being horrendously broken at launch. Single digits frame rates around Paris, numerous crashes, game breaking bugs, and the like. So broken Ubisoft had to essentially replace the entire game as a patch. So broken that Ubisoft had to give away dlc for free.
Shame Sony didn’t have this stance in 2015

Their shitty refund policy was getting too exposed, they had to act swiftly.

A friend at work says she's been enjoying it somewhat but still runs into issues from time to time. She's on PS5.
Then again the PS5 version is just the PS4 Pro version with some performance upgrades I think.
CDPR have a chance at redemption. Look at No Man Sky. A monumental clusterfuck at launch. Now I will throw my underwear at Sean Murray in the streets as he has turned No Man Sky into a cracking game.
CDPR developers need to hunker down, ignore social media and get on with it. There is great promise with this platform they have in Cyberpunk. Now they have a chance (just like Hello Games) to redeem themselves.
These next few months will expose CDPR capabilities as a developer. They have a chance here.
And yes I'm rooting for them to bring this game back out of the gutter.
