    were eventually pressured into releasing earlier than they wanted.

    My guy, they developed and published the game themselves. They pressured themselves.

      I think he means the developers were pressured by CDPR’s upper management. The devs were saying that the game wasn’t ready, but management was telling them it had to ship, anyway.

        That’s what I just said. CDPR upper management is still CDPR, it’s a distinction without a difference.

          It very much is a difference. If you’ve ever worked a corporate job, the relationship between devs and execs is exactly the same as a publisher and studio relationship. The devs did not want to release the game yet, nor do I think they wanted to support legacy consoles, but the shareholders forced that on them.

            But that does not matter to us as consumers. The product was intentionally released half baked, whether the decision was made by someone within CDPR or outside, it is the same.

            I don’t care about their company organisation, I care about the product.
