Get ready for the blame game, because as climate change intensifies, that’s gonna happen over and over again. We’re leaving the “this may be real but is it man-made?” phase and entering the “okay, but it wasn’t MY fault” phase.

I understand that the game had a troubled launch, and that’s a super-relevant criticism of the game as it was when it came out. But the sky-high expectations fans put on CDPR are largely self-inflicted. It’s not like this is the first game with questionable marketing decisions or pre-rendered trailers selling a fantasy the game never comes close to fulfilling.

If you just go “Hey, a CDPR game set in a cyberpunk future, let’s check it out,” it’s by and large a fantastic game.
