The useful information is it's not crashing for everyone and there are people who are able to play the game without much issue. That's not hard to understand.

It's not about the game any more. People just love to be angry.

Some things have been found when people have tried a physical copy without the day 1 patch. This means things were cut even after the so-called "GM" was ready.
My guess is that the deadline was coming up fast, too fast, and the developers had to start cutting functions to have at least somewhat playable game ready so the management is happy. The management saw that the last delay cost them a 20% loss in share prices so they had the incentive to push out that game in December and no later.
So now that they have reached "a satisfactory level" of stability they are most likely starting to add those missing features. Some core functions like the police AI will probably come in a patch update. Other cut content like vehicle/character customisation are probably coming as free DLCs. That would make sense marketing-wise. If you add cut content in a patch you are saying this should have been there from the start and that gives negative PR. If you add it as a free DLC you're giving away free stuff and people like free stuff. Same thing, but the latter is better PR.

And CDPR have been disappointingly and ridiculously silent about any future changes to the gameplay that they might be working on. They're not willing to hint at anything that may or may not come sooner or later, so I decided to stop looking forward to any gameplay improvements at all.
They will probably fix many more bugs, give as several more haircuts to choose from, maybe a car or two, and at least a new storyline. But the gameplay mechanics will likely stay the same broken mess that they have been from the beginning.

It is still under CDPR brand, but they're not the same.

NO promises were made, so stop with this bs and let's focus on getting patches and DLCs.

Of course I do not know their internal structure, but if 40% of the team has been moved to other projects and then they announce a Pokemon Go project, it just doesn't sound good. On the other hand, 60% of devs is still quite a lot for maintenance and expansions when the core game is already done.
Good news is Steam numbers are slowly rising. The game is back to PS store and Steam reports more players, which hopefully gives new motivation for CDPR.

Ah, it's developed by Spokko, not CDPR. Well, that's good. Then my initial feeling (which was all it was, a feeling) was unfounded. Glad to be wrong.
I understood you mean a different studio, as in "not by the Warsaw Studio, but by the Wroclaw Studio". But it's "not CDPR, but Spokko". And even if Spokko is a "member of the CDPR family", it is a separate company. Daughter company or recently acquired, I don't know, but still a separate company with separate work contracts for employees, so yeah, I don't think devs were transferred from Cyberpunk 2077 to Pokemon Go, unless they specifically wanted to change companies.
I'm always glad to be wrong when the thing I am wrong about is a negative thing.

At any rate, once I downgraded from Windows 7 to Windows 10, it stopped crashing. So we might add Windows 7 support to the list of lies CDPR told us.
