Cyberpunk 2077 Phantom Liberty has launched to positive reviews, and one reason for this quality came from CDPR's desire for redemption.

Didn’t Cyberpunk launch to positive reviews as well? At this point it’s meaningless.

It had positive reviews on release because they wouldn’t give console copies to reviewers, and professional reviewers tended to have the beefy gaming rigs that could play it well.

Nope it didn't. It was a buggy mess on release with huge performance problems and missing features.

All true - and yet somehow, it still released to positive reviews. The consumer outcry came after release, the reviewers having gotten a tightly curated experience.

I'm pretty sure it didn't release to positive reviews.

Unless all the positivity we're talking about is journalist reviews and not people being incredibly angry at the game

In fact wasn't there a review ban on 2077's original release?

Now just imagine the feels if you committed to quality all the time...

What is this? A new monetization model? Pay4Redempion?

All I want is a conclusion to the FF:06:B5 mystery!

I've heard that's a saying in Tennessee, I mean Texas, they probably have it in Tennessee
