CDPR Potentially Facing Class Action Lawsuit [New York Times] Update Lawsuit Filed

They didn't lie repeatedly about how the game was running on it.
I'm sure it's been said before but the fact that this game was meant to launch a few months back is absolutely wild.
Imagine if this actually launched months before PS5 and XSX were even out.

The image doesn't load for me, so I hope this is a clever reference to this display of brilliant competence:
haha
lol it's a pic of CNBC covering the game with the news chyron reading:
"CYBER...JUNK? Sony pulls game from PS Store"
Well, I mean... yes.
For the wrong reasons, but it gives me a warm fuzzy feeling imagining the management sweating bullets rn.
Not exactly the first bad project he's gotten himself involved in.
LMAO. They did this shit to themselves.
It feels almost like karma for the other fuckery they were pulling.
Haha I see. Weird, it loaded upon a page reload.
Still, my thing is funny too! Maybe even funnier! 😂
The sheer arrogance and stupidity CDPR's management displayed is truly on a whole another level.
They wanted to be the next Rockstar and crashed and burned in the process.
Like as in "Will the game still be purchasable later on?" I don't it will be yanked forever. Just needs some patches and I dont think CDPR is going to disappear anytime soon.
oh man, this company still made one of the best game this gen (witcher 3) and cyberpunk for all its flaws looks like its a good game that simply was rushed to market. I know that there is a lot of problems with this company due to crunch, which is a general issue in the gaming industry, the depiction of transgenders also seems despicable but asking a studio to shut down seems a bit too much. people will loose jobs.
To keep up, they tarnished their reputation with only one release, where Bioware needed two.
Did you forget about all the rest? There's a stickied post you might want to read.
CDPR are totally gonna argue that they never actually showed the base PS4/XB1 versions so they technically couldn't have misrepresented those versions.
You know it's coming.
You know it's coming.
there are a lot of other reasons i know. still just straight up insolvency would be sad.
Nah. I'll not shed any tears for a sordid company like CDPR going under.

Yup. Having had produced a good product once is no defense for being a massive asshole since. And most likely before given some of the rumors.
Lmfao, why is shit so weird with this game? The cops in the game don't even say their own acronym properly.
I accidentally posted before finishing my post. I said that I am aware of the problematic sexualization of trans people that was used in the marketing. I do think that it is a big problem. still I would be sad if a company like this would vanish.
The "real" problem is that CDP's stock value dropped by half since the game launched. This lawsuit wouldn't exist if CDP was a private company or if they were part of a much larger conglomerate.
I think Shadow of Mordor's sales were roughly as expected. But even if the game imploded, I don't think it would've made such a big wave, as it's just one of many releases under Warner Bros Entertainment.
2020 has been one helluva time dilation experience
I mean, I don't think CDPR are the ones that print out those Xbox cards.
They almost got there too, they already had Rockstar crunch and transphobia. But their mistake, pissing of gamers.
Yep if we go by pre orders it would be near 240 million in revenue for the consoles.
That is just pre orders i sure they though get another 240 million and more in revenue form console over xmas .
To much money to give up .
Neither do I. I still think it's a remarkable display of incompetence.
I mean, the parallels to "they can't do nothing wrong" to instantaneous crashing downwards is very Bioware. For a few years, Bioware stole the Sonic Cycle from Sega because their quality dropped starting with Sonic Chronicles.
Of course, this is more of a speedrun to the downfall we saw happen with Bioware and Bethesda. Assaults on Fallout 76 weren't nearly as sharp and fast, for example. People expected that game to be janky, but Cyberpunk 2077 tried to lie and say every version was acceptable. Even on PC there's assertions of manipulation.
I still think this tops even that. Xbox always online was trash, but they never lied to anyone about what it was. Consumers just didn't like it.
CDPR has been apparently lying to everyone (Customers, investors, developers) and the game (apparently) was trash in the process. They are gonna catch hell for a long time and even if the next game they release borderline perfect, will gamers let bygones be bygone?
this is the problem of game companies though. they rely heavily on a few blockbusters to keep them afloat. thats why we see big studios like westwood, lionhead, bullfrog etc. shut down. even if they had incredibky successful games a dud or two (saleswise) will kill them. this has now become even worse. a sales disappointment can shutdown studios immediately. no wonder big publishers have their annual big game they rely on, be it fifa, call of duty or assassins creed.
CDPR is rather independent but that makes them even more vulnerable because they are very dependent on that one game hat comes out every 5 years.
No. Bug you CAN be sued for lying to investors.
Basically if CDPR had been honest and said that they were having trouble with the console versions, so were only releasing PC for now (or delaying altogether) their stock would have taken a small hit, but they wouldn't be liable.
It is the misrepresentation that is going to put the company on the hook for investor losses.
