Did the opposite for me. I was so tired of seeing stuff about it back on Reddit that I filtered it out. I think it made me less likely to buy the game due to exhaustion. People just wouldn't shut the fuck up about it and nothing else could get through.

I also ignored the game for a long time until the anime came out on Netflix, then i bought the same game on steam during a sale. Honestly super worth it for $30, (talking original 2077 and not the dlc) so much story side quests and content. Hours of fun and shit that's hilarious haha

Yup, I still haven't played it, but I'll probably get around to it eventually. But the hype and fallout really did deter me from playing it at all. I dislike hype, and the fallout made the issues seem worse than they were.

I fear we're in the minority.

Yeah, I've heard it's a lot better these days and I'll probably get around to it in the next couple of years (I'm sure you know how backlogs are).
