What makes it ridiculous? It is a well known fact that the internet overreact at the drop of a hat. Give it a few months and it will have all calmed down and they'll have moved on to the next thing to be outraged at.
When I worked in retail many years ago a woman approached me with a box of cakes and said 'I bought these and they were damaged', 'ok' said I 'let me take a look at them' 'oh no' she said 'I ate them, we had guests over', safe to say she didn't get a refund, people are weird as feck.
The ridiculous part is that you think this is just another over-reaction.
I didn't take your post as defending them. But what it does do is show that you want to pigeon hole everyone into a category when in fact, as this very thread proves, we all have different opinions.
I'm not shocked. People are arseholes and will try it on at every opportunity, even ones that aren't there. In a way I admire that level of shamelessness.This tops the shoe analogy
Applying similar logic to different scenarios isn't within everyone's capabilities. I'll ask for your ok before posting the next.This tops the shoe analogy
I'm not generalising everyone when I say that. There is definitely isolated overreactions going on i.e. people thinking they can play and beat the game, enjoy it, but still get a refund... also those that expect a refund but still want to play it.
There's a big difference though: Volkswagen owners were not aware that by using the car, they were emitting exponentially higher amounts of pollutants than what the car's specs stated.
That's my worry too with the Bioware comparison. It feels too early to write them off as it is one mistake and is early days, but all the mistakes were definitely instigated by commercial decisions. One thing I would say is that the thought put into the game and city design is phenomenal so the building blocks are there and weren't rushed.
I think it isn't too early to write them off. The developers are probably good people who could still make a the witcher 3 like game, but I have no faith in a company that tells reviewers they aren't allowed to see a console version of a game and talk about it in order to trick people into believing everything is fine.
It was definitely an awful decision but they've also made ones like this for a 5 year old game. I can't think of anyone else who has added features like RTX to such an old game. Minecraft maybe?

Worth noting that Bioware are owned by EA where as CDPR are not owned by anyone. Could make a huge difference.
I'm trying to get a refund and I haven't even bought the cnut.

Did you nazi this coming?
That's silly. Deception (which is more prevalent than you think) doesn't mean everyone can refund the game and you deny the company sales altogether. Those who weren't satisfied withe product not those who merrily used it and enjoyed the experience.
Guess I'll to play it for a 4th time thenBloody hell.
Yeah it's new, I've just downloaded it. The 8mb save size limit has been removed and a few other things to improve stability by the looks of it.
This is literally where I'm at reading about the game. 46 hours in and I've seen 3 bugs, one funny & one stupid (both times I just had to retry the simple task and it worked) and one required me to exit to menu & go back into the game where it was fine.
It’s really as long as you want it to be. It doesn’t have all the crap filler content in the main story compared to a Ubisoft game but there’s hundreds of hours of open world content here and with the decision making its very replayable. I’m at 80 hours now and I am just approaching the end but I haven’t fully cleared the map.
Despite having a few issues with the game i've got my eye on the platinum trophy. Hoping to do it all on one playthrough but i'm sure i'll miss something.
So I kinda blew maiko's head off with my pistol. I'm kinda hoping that doesn't put an end to Judy's storyline. She seemed pretty upset at my choice
