Gabe Newell talks about Cyberpunk 2077 and sympathizes with CD Projekt

Gabe Newell talks about Cyberpunk 2077 and sympathizes with CD Projekt

Valve's Gabe Newell really doesn't need an introduction; the man Valve, Steam, Half-Life and more spoke about what happened with Cyberpunk 2077, the most anticipated game in recent years.

Newell mentions he believes that such harsh criticism is not fair as it is a very ambitious game. He also thinks that CD Projekt will win back the trust of the players. Of course, you needed to within into this story that that Cyberpunk 2077 is a title selling at steam for 60 EURO, and Valve grabs 30% of the take.

 “All I know is that there are a lot of very happy gamers in the PC space, who are the most visible to us (Valve). There are aspects of the game that are simply brilliant and show a tremendous amount of work. It's unfair to throw rocks at the developer because just getting something as complex and ambitious as that is pretty amazing, ”Newell mentioned of Cyberpunk 2077.

Newell added that "they have a long history of doing things right, of continuing to invest in their products for years and I suspect they will do very well to make their customers happy over time."

Also, as promised, CD Projekt RED has released the first major update for Cyberpunk 2077. Patch 1.1 is 1.1GB in size (apparently the Steam patch is 5.4GB, much larger than the GOG patch), it solves some issues with stability, solves mission bugs, and is now available for download. Going into more detail, this update addresses the issue of cache-related startup crashes on NVIDIA graphics cards. It also improves memory usage on various systems within the game. CD Projekt RED will continue this work in patch 1.2 and other upcoming updates detailed in its roadmap. At the same time, we will continue to fix bugs and listen to the community on how to improve the overall game experience.

Could it be that Gabe Newell understands so well the situation, because this whole dissatisfaction "riot" amongst gamers he foresaw if Valve would release HL3?
That game could not satisfy expectations. Doesn't matter that the dev team will bring something brilliant, new, Innovative. There is a harsh reality as a creator to find that people can never be happy or satisfied with creator's content.

no compassion for cd project red , learn to wait to release a game !
first impression is everything especcially with gamers !
i still think they are greedy idiots , something we see way too much of these days i haven't seen a good game in over 10 years..
take note devs !
also cyberpunks story couldve been finished in a few hours if it wasn't for all the choices and scenes , time based missions wich you need top skip time for..
many bad things in this game
if anything there was 1 thing that i enyoied , the world they made that is cyberpunk and the body mods but i feel they couldve done better on that part aswell

I'm sure there is a good reason for your bitterness but I doubt they deserve that much hate. Specially the devs that aren't in charge of the marketing, release dates etc.
I personally enjoyed the game, encountered very few glitches can't even call them bugs (PC).

Let's see.
Witcher 3 won almost all prizes in the gaming history and CDProjekt could ride the wave and cash in the hype and sell (as greedy idiots) everything lore and DLC related.
Yet, DLC and GOTY is what made them so loved in the gaming community, and GOG never cease to offer very good deals for CDProjekt games. And gamers got for free DLC and a LOT of game related lore and CD Projekt released even a fan requested video showing their gratitude





So much for greediness here. Or a good game!? Are you for real?
Really @zhalonia , this is your way of posting on the forums?



How many lines of code YOU write and sold yourself? Do you know the costs involved in developing and project management? Don't answer, there is no need.
Please, don't wait any second and go to the CD Projekt HQ and show them how it is done, please.

Releasing the Cyberpunk was a bet and a risk involving move. They knew it and now they took responsibility. Isn't this enough?
On the other hand, getting the first batch in everything, be it games or hardware is always a high risk bet, you can be sure to be the guinea pig.
So gamers are blaming CDProjekt for their unwillingness to wait and buy the game when it was ready?
Speaking for the sake of speaking is something i can't stand.

And I'll finish saying:
I am a regular here, and very, very rarely lash out or say anything as above. One can see all my post and 80% of what I am saying is " Guys, let's keep this civil".
But this made me wrote all that.
I am not affiliated to CD Projekt in any way, shape o r form. I don't own the game, I always buy games when they reach GOTY.
