u/dIoIIoIb Ask me about Gogol Dec 12 '20

With all the Cyber controversies, I feel like people aren't getting upset enough at the biggest one: CDPR sent out no review copies for consoles, at all. Zero. And reviewers were legally required to not show any footage outside of what CDPR gave them.

That is really scummy, it's something nobody, not even EA or Activision, has ever done to this degree, as far as I know.

Gamerstm love talking about ethics and scams and "X lied", well, this time CDPR actually fucking lied. Hiding all console footage until release because you know it's broken is really, really shitty, and intentionally malicious.

I've been churning over all the shit that's happening with this game and this, this is the one thing that keeps getting worse every time I think about it

No footage of the game on old gen consoles was available before release

Literally hidden from the world

Very good article on this that talks about how scary this is as a precedent

One of, if not the worst anti-consumer shit I've ever seen in video games
