CD Projekt RED is getting more and more problems with Cyberpunk 2077. Now the game’s investors are getting restless and are considering legal action against the studio.
Cyberpunk 2077 seems to be becoming more and more of a disaster for the developers of CD Projekt RED. After major difficulties with the last-gen version and the removal of the PS4 version from Sony’s shop, CD Projekt RED may face a lawsuit.
As the New York Times reported, some well-known investors in the game are currently considering a lawsuit against the developers. Wolf Haldenstein Adler Freeman & Herz LLP, a major financial capital trader and part investor from New York, as well as another major investor from Warsaw, are examining legal action against the studio, the Times said. In both cases it is investigated whether CD Projekt RED intentionally misinformed RED about the game in order to obtain capital from investors for the development of Cyberpunk 2077.
The corporations are particularly irritated with regard to the debacle in Sony’s PlayStation store. CDPR had announced refunds for disappointed players without first discussing this with retailers such as Sony and Microsoft. Sony then promptly removed Cyberpunk 2077 from the store – a first for AAA games of this range. For investors, this results in a significant break in income. Plus, the company’s share price fell a whopping 15%.
It is currently difficult to assess how promising the lawsuit would be, as investors would first have to prove that CDPR acted willfully. Apart from that, the legal dispute is just one of the developers’ tears of bad luck. For the fans of the game, it remains to be hoped that the studio will still have enough time to iron out the numerous mistakes.
Unfortunately, there are tons of bugs and errors in Cyberpunk 2077. Here are our top 5.
