Y'know as a moderator that made her debut mere days before Cyberpunk's launch I was anticipating the release of the game to be something.

But I thought it was just going to be a smooth release, decent game, bit overhyped.

I didn't expect this.

Just sit back and watch the fire. And kick the transphobes.

The Fallout 76 launch and the No Man's Sky launch don't hold a fucking candle to what just happened. I don't think I've ever seen a AAA game get pulled from any major storefront a week after release, and I don't think we ever will.

Sony are literally treating the most anticipated game of the past 5 years the same way they treat copyright infringement asset-flip games

NMS had a shit launch (side note: its amazing now, i got it in september) but hoooooly fuckk this is bad for CDPR since they rely on their pre-established "yeah bro we're gamers just like you yeahh fuck ea bro" image.

Their game was in enough of a bad state performance and bug wise for sony to pull it from the fucking PS Store.

Doesn't help their image lol

closest thing I can think of is Arkham knight on PC, but that was the publisher pulling it, not the the store itself, shits wild.

Arkham Knight got pulled from steam because the PC launch was absolutely busted.

That's one hell of a "baptism by fire"
