Lawyers and investors in Warsaw are circling the situation, contemplating a class-action lawsuit against the company for what one attorney described as potential criminal “misrepresentation in order to receive financial benefits.”

probably true
most of these aaa companies should be fined especially the ones which supports ccp

I doubt anything is going to happen. They're actively working on fixing the game, if you could sue every publisher because of bugs, there wouldn't be such a big industry. Just look at all the other Triple A studios and the stuff they get away with on a daily basis.

Just vultures being vultures...erm, sorry, I meant lawyers.

I never even heard of this game till like last month, but it looked stupid then. Now that i read that article they are a joke and a bunch of clowns. Stellar tactics os made by one person, and for about the same tiime and he has it playable and endless repeatablity with random generations, and i played it arounf 40 houts with 0 bugs. The story id way better 2.

Your telling me these ass clowns had 8 years, and they released *********** with garbage npc machiancs, garbage fighting, garbage atoey, and all the bugs. The serious f they been doing for 8 years playing with thier balls. I mean even the shitty game star citizen got more done haha.

If I were the leader id fire every one, throw that dumpster pile of a game in the gabage hole, and try to find some compent people. They def should get sued. They should be ashamed to do what they did, hype people up then give them garbage. From the reviews and that article the entire game is medicore garbage even if you fixed the bugs.

Far as I understand this is not about the game being buggy but about misrepresentation of the bugginess. And based on the last bit of the linked article its not gamers but investors complaining. I dont know any details but this sounds like management or board released it too early fully knowing its not ready in order to get boni for themselves. (But again: This is just my interpretation of those few sentences. I dont understand the linked Polish article.)

The relevant quote:

I expect the lawsuit would be shareholders suing the board for breach of fiduciary duty (alleging the management failed to act in best interest of the company) because the stock price has tanked. It's not unheard of, in the US at least. Fixing bugs wouldn't help avoid such litigation.

ah whatever

Have to admit, I shouldn't gloss over an article on my phone around 3am. :P

People tried to do it several times with other games (No Man's Sky for example) and it never worked.

None of the other AAA corporations are beholden to or took money from the Polish Government. This is quite possible. We've already seen how Polish laws differ from many of those in other countries.
Edgelords on sock puppet accounts gonna edgelord.

I don't believe Hello Games is a publicly-owned company.

Gonna be funny when everyone burns CDPR to the ground and EA takes over GOG, Witcher series, and Cyberpunk.

I personally can't wait for the Plants Vs. Zombies Witcher Crossover.

Yeah right not gonna happen....bethesda has been releasing skyrim more than 10 times and never fixed a single bug.....At least cdpr will fix the bugs as they did with witcher 3....
