Cyberpunk 2077's Unpolished Release Criticized By Take-Two Owner
Cyberpunk 2077's disastrous launch has led to Take-Two CEO and Rockstar Games owner Strauss Zelnick to respond, noting games shouldn't be rushed.
Take-Two and Rockstar's attitude is p weird in all honesty. So much money and work is initially pumped into these games' development, they achieve such success and become p much bona fide pop-culture items, and yet they don't appear to give a fuck what is done with them once the development is done and they pass to the next thing. Every new port of these games was worse than the last, culminating in this. They don't seem to care what the team porting them does, what is cut and changed, as long as it runs and can be sold.
I don't get how these companies operate to be honest. They just shit all over their biggest and most important franchises that hold their entire companies afloat. They're not struggling financially so just give them the time they need.
It's like with actiblizz, they gave all that love to dead properties like crash, spyro and even tony hawk for fucks sake. But let Diablo 3, Warcraft III (and now wow) get thrown out there to die?
My only guess is that there's some bizarre corporate backstabbing involved. A way for these bigwigs to poison the well between shareholders and these larger, semi independent developers as a way of gaining even more control. I mean look at blizzard now, they're completely subservient to Kotick and at his mercy.
Probably something similar here, didn't one of the Houser brothers leave a while back?
Why would you buy a Rockstar launcher key when you can get the Steam one cheaper, and avoid that shitty launcher altogether?

Steam Version, with the corresponding true Definitive Edition Project patch. All of which are made and maintained by people who actually give a shit.Imagine the kind of remasters we could be getting if publishers put in the kind of effort that fucking EA of all things did with C&C Remastered. Instead we get billion dollar companies like Rockstar/Take2 shitting out this with little to no care put into the product.
Speaking of, what is the actual definitive way to play GTA3/VC/SA these days? The old versions on Steam? Any mods that add in cut content and cut music?
That's another thing. What the hell is preventing an official port of the Stories games to PC? If they included something like that in this "Definitive Edition" then at least they'd be doing something new that is worth having outwith emulating the PSP/PS2 versions of them. To this day I've never played Vice City Stories, and I've played Liberty City Stories on my PS2 ages ago and that's it. I should probably emulate VCS with this fan patch thing you linked.They've also got patches for the Stories games
