At this stage, we really need more add.ons (in game), and to make this clear and fair, they need to give us another copy to spare, or another game from theirs.

We paid full price, for a game that was ready to launch 6 months ago... wt hell happened?

(sorry bad English)

What happened is that they aren't true to their word and you should judge them by that from now on. Simple as that.

They don't really have to give us anything. The game was not ready to launch 6 months ago, they hoped it was.

I personally waited for 8 years since the title reveal and i am happy to wait for their orginal "release date" they gave us 7 years ago: "When it's ready."

My hype is still going and i know my expectations will be met as they are reasonable.

The only thing i want is mod suport, like Skyrim or Fallout 4

And in a side note, im waiting for a Jrpg since 2008... :)

Imagine being so entitled in life that you demand a company gives you something for making sure their product is adequate? You really need to look yourself in the mirror and consider your life choices mate.

I'm a bit frustrated as I have pre-ordered the game and seen it be delayed 3 times, despite going gold and their PR team promising that they won't delay it again, but the timing of this couldn't be worse. You have a global pandemic that has simply shut down the world which means a lot of staff has to work from home, which will no doubt slow down the production process, while at the same time having to configure your game to work on 9 platforms at the same time with minimal bugs. Of course the game was going to be delayed again, everyone could see that.

CDPR doesn't owe us anything other than a good game, and if a delay is necessary then so be it, especially if that delay will avoid their staff working 100 hour weeks just because you wanted to play your game sooner.

I'm very sure it will support mods just like The Witcher games.

Dude, what? You want another copy of CP77, just install it on another computer. The game is DRM free. You have literally all the spare copies you could ever want. Well, you do on PC. I have no idea how console games work in this day and age, whether they're still using hard media or are strictly digital.

Aside from that, the game wasn't "ready to launch" six months ago. It was sort of operable and playable start to finish. Calling that "ready to launch" is what got Bethesda into big trouble with Fallout 76. Or you could go back a few years to No Man's Sky, if you will. That was also a complete shitshow.

And frankly, it is a very common concept in software development that an application of some kind has its basic functionality but it just is not release ready, because there are too many problematic situations where the application doesn't behave as expected or desired.

I've done my share of those releases where the application was "ready" at 8.47 for a meeting that begins at 9.00, and where the testing amounts to "well, in this single scenario that we ran it through, it did not crash!", which when translated into business speak becomes the dynamic cost-efficient silver-tier testing pipeline. And believe me, you definitely want to upgrade that to gold-tier if you want to have any assurance of the application actually working out in the wild, rather than in a "strictly controlled testing environment" (= whatever computer it was developed on).

Now, CDPR has seemingly reported to shareholders that the game could technically be released as is, but they just don't want to. They'd rather face the music and have a tiny three week delay. That time frame would not suggest a big issue, because you don't fix big things in three weeks, and it doesn't suggest that they're remotely afraid of running into a Daikatana-like reception, because those kinds of fundamental flaws just aren't helped in the least by pissing off everybody with an unexpected short delay just before launch.

At a guess, some platforms run into faily severe performance issues on a regular basis, and while CDPR has a good idea of how to fix that issue, they also aren't sure that they can get that fix done in the three weeks they have left and still have time to test that now everything actually works and still have time to fix the things that now turn out to not work.

They have said to add 16 DCLs, 2 expansions and MP. I might be little off, but surely theres stuff coming.

I wonder if there will be loot boxes or unskippable ad videos (twice)...

Can't figure out and can't allow myself to speculate why and how in the world you would ever thought anything like this...

It's too silly to even think about microtransations, advertisements (except for advertisements from corpos within the game itself on billboards, walls of buildings around the Night City and large screens, etc.) and lootboxes in a game from the most honest game developer in the world right now.

People are talking like CDPR is some big player in game industry, sure Witcher 3 was semi-success, theres plenty of those, so they arent nothing like EA or Activision, 2k games, or even Ubisoft/Bethesda, not even Square Enix, etc.

I think CDPR gotta expand at least next-gen, and maybe the gen-after, then they can start playing the nasty cards. Yeah, two new studios per gen might do it, imho. Of course its CDPR's call, but become a-hole too fast might be harmful for your company.
