Game still dead. Thread still active. Codex still shameful.
I'm still reading the official forums and even there there is little movement nowadays. It's mostly CDPR groupies and some lurker like me who like to 'stir the pot' every now and then by telling them how much CP2077 suck.
By now, CDPR fans will always respond to anybody casting doubts on the merits of game with one of the following arguments:
-Development was on track, then Covid happened
-Game development really started in 2018: it's the best they could do in so little time
-Developers wanted to keep on polishing the game, but greedy investors/managers pushed for an early release date
-Shit happens, have faith in the people who developed The Witcher 3!
-Nobody ever did a game of this scale, you should be grateful you can bask in the glory of Cyberpunk 2077!
-It's all Keanu Reeves fault, the developers had to rewrite the game from start to give him the protagonist's role.
More or less, it's all the feedback you can get
