Oh CDprojekt. Letting streamers play the game 14 hours before everyone else. I can see how this go over well. I already see a thread on Steam of pissed off customers. The release around this game have been fucky at best.
It will be worth it:

Any proper (numerical) info on the difficulty settings? Mostly in how they affect the damage enemies take/stat bloat?

Been googling for a bit but all I get is the same data-less article copy-pasted from whatever press-kit CDPR gave the journos.

The early streams are probably how CDPR is paying them for the free PR. In other words CDPR is paying with the money of subscribers :lol:
I've heard that this is genuinely a practice that does go on with Twitch. Discrete Marketing. Not good. To clarify I mean the studio using their own personal accounts to pay for the publicity. Brands apparently do this.

Technically inept virgin streamer cries on steam forums.

Technically proficient chad knows the savegame he is trying to load is corrupted and removes it from the savegames dir.

Allowing "influencers" to stream your game early may be good PR. Not so though if this game is the mother of all bug-infestations.

In that case the stream will probably be very entertaining but not necessarily lead to more sales.

If you can manage to hold in your offended boner at the sjw shit and listen. Maybe read between the lines if it helps. There are lots of legit criticisms here, seems like the game inherited the gameplay issues from Witcher and proceeded to add more fckups.

Few I got are
-Itemization is still trash.
-Crafting is useless because you get better loot constantly.
-Role-playing aspect in the main story is more limited than in the side quests.
-The trash narrative urgency from Witcher 3 is back.
-Narrative threads are not fleshed out or expanded. Some are abandoned.
-Stuff in-game world has no excuse or explanation within the game world.
