not sure if this was mentioned before but, today i read an article stating that 2077's MP won't be added as a stand alone expansion but as a integrated function of the game. Also this will be included in such a manner that it will be easily imported to the rest of their franchise ( witcher )

Yeah, I'm worried about that too. We are a minority. We're a significant source of revenue for a smaller operation that caters to this niche market, but for someone that aspires to be even 1/3 of the size Steam is, we're quite expandable.

Yeah, about 2/3 of my collection backed up now. 1/3 left to go.

I was interested in Cyberpunk 2077, but ended up not buying it when I realized my PC wouldn't be able handle it anyways. This before all the criticism for the game's state at release and locking away content to encourage more Galaxy users.

While I'm not against multiplayer, I seems pointless to shoehorn in genres that focused on single player.

I doubt it. They where pretty adamant against TPP after they dropped it. Making the animations "TPP ready" might had been a necessary requirement regardless of if they wanted it or not for multiplayer; but with that dropped + all the things they need to fix there I just don't see it coming. Not from them at least.

Not that I would throw a tantrum if proven wrong ;)

Still.....regardless if any of the bugs videos on YT are faked, there is still clearly a good amount wrong with the game.
(enough wrong with it that people want to refund to a high degree & to land CDPR in some legal hot water)

Do you mean changing people's already bought game copies? I don't think that'd fly....maybe on Steam/Epic/etc, but not around here.

I've been playing Shadowrun Returns.....great cyberpunk style game, runs fine on many systems afaik, and looks nice to boot.

Neither would I, if some ip holders made some sequels and etc for some series I like. One can dream, eh? ;)

I wonder if CDP reputation will ever recover from the CP launch. It'll probably take years of the team working full-time patching the game like No Man's Sky for people to even start to maybe forgive them.

Other than the almost daily copycat thread, claiming that they have been a fan of GOG for many years, but that they will now stop buying games and be done with it, once they refund Cyberpunk, I haven't seen any reports of many PC refunds. Again most refunds are on last gen consoles, and rightly so, since the ports were broken and unplayable. Anything else is an exaggeration.

When it comes to the lawsuits, I have my doubts any will go further than the clickbait initial reports. Some investors looked into whether there was cause for a lawsuit... and that's about it, as far as I know. Has there been any progress on the the lawsuits?

Wishful thinking ;)
I predict a couple announcements about The Witcher 4 will be enough to bury the Cyberpunk 2077 debacle.

weird reaction, though but maybe you misunderstood since nothing was mentioned about the requirement to stay online together with the online play idea. there have been already multiple mentioning's about cdpr's future and what to expect this year, all hinting at a online future but none was so specific as the one i had under my nose yesterday

Not seeing much proof of PC refunds doesn't mean they aren't happening, or that such things(bugs/etc) are an exaggeration.

If CDPR/GOG made such a MP portion, it'd likely run through galaxy....which a number here would see as DRM/etc. And if it was integrated into the game, a number of such people would no doubt see the entire game as DRMd/etc at that point.

The realistic approach of some was truly amazing to watch! The whole logical process that ends with the realization of a kog in a enormous wheel always strikes home.

they need to focus on fixing the single player which is shallow at its core by adding world building side activities.

Could you explain this a bit further? I sorta get what you mean but not fully.

I hear tell mainly all there is to do is missions and shops...is that true?

the ongoing debate about change and in what row people find themselves in combined with picking a side in the question do we or do we not accept change for what ever reason possible while retaining the ability to understand your importance.... or better said the lack off

Who the hell was even asking for this anyway.
