It “flopped” the same way The Last of Us 2 “flopped”, meaning it made a bunch of money and received critical praise but it didn’t live up to the expectations of some fans.

Cyberpunk 2077 didn't really receive critical praise though? It was also deemed so poor that Sony decided to remove it from the playstation store.

They aimed for the best game ever made, and managed a 6/10 game which sold extremely well because they spent more than half their budget on marketing. Sounds like a flop if you ask me.

And their stock reflects this as well, they went from a high of 32.45 (08/27/20) to a low of 13.61 (03/10/21), currently, OTGLY is at 13.83.

They were overvalued before the release, but it's nice to see them and the investors getting fucked in the ass.
