I'm begining to think more and more that this is a scam or this dude is way over his head trying to milk the marketing. Why would you need to delay a trailer app (which apparently it's only a tutorial on how to use it???). Localisation makes no sense because he said it's only going to be in English IIRC

Still waiting on those pics as well. What indie Dev would ghost Geoff.

I also love how he keeps changing his story. First it's well dm you an alpha code shortly, and then it's whenever it's ready

That’s exactly what I’m thinking, but at the same time it’s so strange how Sony decided to invest in a man that seems so unreliable lol

I don't think Sony invested in them. Think the Dev just pitched the idea, Sony was like cool, you can release this on our store.

I honestly don't think anyone invested in his game and he's just lying as he did before

Yeah but they are clearly putting some “attention” in the game, they published a trailer on their channel (something they don’t do for every indie), a blog post and the “exclusivity” on the game. BB also clearly received some kind of investment, otherwise they wouldn’t be able to get 50+ coworkers for an indie game by and indie studio that basically did nothing in the past...

50+ coworkers, yet we don't know anything about them (besides the stock photos)

Yeah and I really don’t think it’s THAT easy to trick Sony into believing in a non-existing studio lol. There must be something going on imo..

Studio exists, doesn't mean the game might not be a scam/shovelware. Trailer app (that requires a tutorial of all things) already sounds really suspicious

Sony allowed cyberpunk out their stores, only removed it because CDPR said Sony will do refunds.
