Am I the only one who thinks CDPR gets too much hate anymore? They released three great Witcher games, championed DRM Free gaming, and launched a platform to buy old and new games that are also DRM free.They had one bad game that was rushed to market (like everything released by EA, Bethesda and Ubisoft) and all the sudden they are the worst publishers around. They even tried to delay Cyberpunk as long as they could, but rabid fans and online petitions basically demanded a release.

I mean the Cyberpunk launch was way worse than "everything released by EA, Bethesda and Ubisoft". The last-gen versions were such a colossal fuckup, I don't think I've seen a game run worse at launch since maybe Assassin's Creed Unity(?). I still think CDPR is still a phenomenal studio with great developers, BUT the management of the studio (or at least the cyberpunk project) is clearly terrible. I believe that future CDPR games can be great but they'll need a couple stellar launches before I believe anything their marketing says again.
