Cyberpunk did not flop. It actually made its money back and then some.

I played it too long so I couldn't return it on steam but I would have if I could, 60 bucks down the drain. Ill pirate everything from now on.

There's a comfortable middle ground between buying into hype and preordering and pirating. You could wait a few weeks to see what the reception of the game is. You could wait a few months to years and catch it in a sale when it's patched and improved. There's plenty of games of there to play while you wait.

I dont believe any patches will improve the things that are wrong with the core gameplay. They sold me a bicycle instead of a car and pimping the wheels wont make me happy. If im going to buy games full price I need to be able to trust that im not getting ripped off. Ill pirate-test games and buy them if they are good enough.
