Cyberpunk 2077The disastrous start resulted in very few refunds, according to Piotr Nielubowicz, CFO of CD Projekt Red Call for profits from investors. The dystopian cyberpunk RPG sold 13.7 million copies, but the developer only issued 30,000 refunds.
Players were also able to receive refunds through Sony and Microsoft that were not on this list. In December 2020, Sony not only offered a full refund to customers who purchased a digital copy, but also removed the game from the PlayStation Store. Cyberpunk 2077 does not have to return to the PlayStation Store yet, despite patches that have fixed hundreds of bugs, with varying degrees of success.
CD Projekt has set up a Help Me Refund program to help unsatisfied customers that costs approximately $ 2.17 million. Ninety-five percent of these refunds have been processed. When prompted, Nielubowicz stated that the last 5% of refunds are currently being processed but will take longer due to complications. “Please keep in mind that we reimburse people all over the world and we work with different banking systems. It’s not an easy task, ”he said.
CD Projekt Red had to change tracks Cyberpunk 2077 after starting the game due to the problems of the game on Xbox One and PlayStation 4 consoles. In February, the developer was faced with a cyber attack by hackers who claimed to have source code for Cyberpunk 2077, The witcher 3, Gwentand an unreleased version of Witcher 3. Patch 1.2 has been postponed from February to March due to complications from the attack.
Despite these issues, the Polish developer had a profitable 2020 with sales of over $ 560 million. Future updates for Cyberpunk 2077 are currently under development, including an online mode.
