In an alternate scenario, CD Projekt Red might have chosen not to develop Cyberpunk 2077, allowing it to miss its potential greatness. Many games have faced a lukewarm reception initially but could have blossomed into something better if given more time and effort.

Given the tumultuous launch of Cyberpunk 2077, it wouldn’t be surprising if this had been its fate, damaging CDPR’s reputation that was built over years of consumer-friendly releases.
