I blame Skyrim for the fate of Cyberpunk and many other games.
Fucking braindead game designers and especially the retards in charge completely forgot about the benefits of hub-based game design. Instead, they pour all their resources in a vain attempt at chasing "muh open werld" while neglecting everything else.
In this case we should mostly blame success of GTA 5 and especially multiplayer part of it.
I do believe that originally the game was not supposed to have anything related to multiplayer but massive success of GTA 5 changed it.
It turned into development nightmare since multiplayer is not easy to implement and they overpromised on game features.
Realizing that multiplayer just is too complex to do forced them to scrap it all and salvage whats left before release.
And what was left was a broken buggy mess of broken promises.
