I would doubt it would happen within CDPR either, given their track record. My understanding is that last part happening is very rare. I thought that in most cases from what people in the industry have said, delays generally mean *more* crunch, not less? Because in most cases, unless a dev specifically says so, the delays are a product of not hitting goals, which just means they realized now that September is impossible.if they were already crunching to hit September, moving it to November doesn't mean they won't just be crunching for longer unless they outright say "We realize how crunch is bad, so we are extending our release date to ensure that our employees can work normal hours, and this means that the game will be delayed." Update: CD Projekt Red has once again delayed the release of Cyberpunk 2077. Cyberpunk 2077 was first delayed from April 16th, 2020 to September 17th, and then it was postponed to November 19th and now December 10th. Unfortunately, the game’s developers have just announced a major delay to Cyberpunk 2077’s release date. Being pro-consumer doesn't mean you get a pass on being anti-worker. Cyberpunk 2077 has been delayed three times. If not: they need to get their shit together. If this is to facilitate LESS crunch: more power to them, and I'd love to see more devs take this tack. ![]() If you want my selfish thoughts about the delay: this works out great for me, now there's time for the 3000 series to come out and I can do a complete PC overhaul before the game comes out.Ĭrunch should be viewed as a failure of management, not a celebration of it. I wonder how fucked their internal deadlines are. To wrap this around to my point: why announce a release date this soon once again? If you've already botched this badly, wait and give a date when you know you'll hit it. ![]() You're watching (some of) the circumstances that facilitate it happen and instead of calling it out now, you're riding over in defence of them. So maybe folks should stop acting flabbergasted and outraged when reports of crunch and mental breakdowns come out of these studios. I held my tongue in January when the first delay happened and instead of anyone pointing to CDPR having a history of this, everyone threw out their favourite outdated Miyamoto quote for the billionth time. In your mind, what is crunch, a reportedly rocky development and repeatedly missing release dates (and still releasing broken games) indicative of, if not bad planning?Īre you also going to hand wave the repeated issues a veteran developer is having with: "making games is hard", even after employees of the company have come out to criticize them for bad planning and the treatment of their employees?ĬDPR's shortcomings are already well documented and criticized.īack in April, CDPR came out to declare that they're confident in releasing the game in September and that the only issue "on their radar" was getting VO recorded in time due to COVID, and now they're out here saying that the game is so broken they can't make it in time. Then you should probably actually ignore me and not make passive aggressive remarks.
