Delay the expansion to Summer 2022

To be fair, CDPR is trying to fix Cyberpunk, but boy did it cost them dearly. It remains to be seen if there will still be a CDPR at all when it's all said and done. There's no saving Fallout 76 though.

I don't think Cyperpunk can be "fixed". "We've greatly enhanced our crowd and community systems, to create THE MOST BELIEVABLE CITY in any open world game to date" Cyberpunk Advertisement 2018
They are still several years of game development needed for them to reach the quality of game they advertised. Currently Cyperpunk 2077 has worse open world NPC AI than games released in 2004 and has less open world believability GTAIII, a 2001 game. Their roadmap only says they are going to tackle the bugs, the game will still not be what was advertised by the end of 2021.

Like I said, trying. They very well might not succeed, and unless they pull some serious crunch time over the next 6 months they will never achieve what they had advertised. Either way, the company is screwed. We'll have to see how that plays out.

Ummm the expansion has already been delayed...it would have come out this summer if it was on track but due to covid-19 they are about 3 months behind permanently...thats why it is coming out in fall

Thanks Fallout 76. Thanks Cyberpunk 77.

And Anthem.. and Mass Effect Andromeda.. and No Man's Sky.. and yes indeed.. Final Fantasy XIV 1.0.

Yoshi P has done a lot... hell, he worked miracles in my opinion, to turn XIV around as he did, but with how often the game industry gets it wrong.. most often because they don't care to get it right, it's always healthy to be skeptical yet hopeful.

Square enix isn't blizzard.. blizzard is the one that screws up non stop with a million systems and mods..

Square enix doesn't do that kinda stuff tbh.. before u even say 1.0 that was because almost noone knew it existed until it didn't lol

ShB already destined to have the worst pre expansion period dont need to make that longer than it already is

They screw up all the time. Just...less severely. Well, most of the time. Their mistakes with this game post 1.0 don't typically cost them tens of millions of dollars. No company is perfect, some are just so imperfect it hurts like Blizzard. If I didn't enjoy the game and most of what the dev team created I wouldn't be here. That's why I'm not playing WoW at the moment. I'm following the fun.

Best guideline for any project, under promise and over deliver.

On the plus side. Gonna try to help my friends get some houses when the inevitable ghost-town hits >>

Perhaps... but corporate and marketing are gonna want to pump up the promises because those translate into sales.
