Cyberpunk's problems started because they announced a release date when the game wasn't finished, then delayed it.
Just as countless other studios, especialy in past few years. After all, even start of BG-3 Early Acess was delayed a little bit ...

Well, yes and no ... This is the hard part, their PR was done well, too well to their own good ... totally agree on that one (my friend often says the same) ... On the other hand they were (as far as i know) forced to release it as it was, and that is something you can hardly prepare for. :-/
And honestly i dont do "if"s ... there is countless things we dont see that could go, well at very least different, if not straight wrong in that scenario.

Oh certainly they will ... some of them allready do ... some of them allready do right here.
And many of them would no matter if there will be some celebration event or not. On the other hand tho, there are people appreciating such events ...
So ... in my eyes (and ofcourse feel free to disagree) Larian can either please some fans, or dont ... but those who are pissed and complaining will remain the same.

I gues this is matter of presentation / perception ... You know, half full / empty glass thing ...
Some could argue that they are working intensively for last two years to make this game as close to our liking as possible, instead just release it as it was in patch one. Wich would certainly be much faster ... there is not even single doubt in my mind.

100% agreed. ^_^ + I really hope that Larian will NEVER EVER go complete radio silence. :-/
I still dont understand why cant we change Race for our hirelings. Lets us play Githyanki as racist as they trully are!
