A gaming community free from the hype and oversaturation of current releases, catering to gamers who wait at least 12 months after release to play a game. Whether it's price, waiting for bugs/issues to be patched, DLC to be released, don't meet the system requirements, or just haven't had the time to keep up with the latest releases.

Explain?
After the launch of cyberpunk I lost all respect for them and pirate from them now. They don't deserve a dime.
I understand that fixed it... If you also buy the DLC.
I still think it's unreasonable to let it slide
Il not sure you understood my question? Maybe you can explain why you think o e mishap is deserving of shunning?
It's simple. It has really become common in the gaming industry to release a broken game then "fix" it later.
Cyberpunk was worse than no man's sky at launch. Hello games is a small team of people with deadlines set from Sony and a natural disaster going through their office plus multiple legal battles going. CD projekt red had no excuse. They're a AAA studio that also published themselves. So there's no excuse to release the game how they did.
I disagree with the new norm of launching a broken game. I think it shouldn't be common. If marvel released a movie and half the film had no CGI or editing then I wouldn't watch or pay for that movie not many people would.
So CD projekt red doesn't deserve any money because it will just encourage them to release another broken mess then "fix" it later with a paid DLC.
