Almost three years after its initial release, CD Projekt's VP of PR and communication thinks players were too harsh on Cyberpunk 2077 around launch, claiming that "it became a cool thing not to like it."
Michał Platkow-Gilewski sat down with GamesIndustry.biz to chat about Cyberpunk's launch woes and the developer's journey to rectify its mistakes, such as the major base game overhauls due to release alongside upcoming DLC Phantom Liberty. "I was personally not happy with how things turned out," said Platkow-Gilewski of Cyberpunk's initial reception. "I was not expecting that. I knew immediately that we had to come back. I liked the spot we were in [before launch]. I'm not talking about the peak of hype, but two years before that, we had our community, we liked them, they liked us, it was awesome to work at CD Projekt Red."
