Class Action Lawsuit Filed Against CD Projekt Red After Messy Cyberpunk 2077 Release

CD Projekt Red is facing a class-action lawsuit filed by a group of investors after Cyberpunk 2077’s troubled release. This is yet another serious consequence of the game’s failed launch, which left a lot of fans disappointed with the title’s poor state.

Supposedly, a lot went wrong during the controversial development of Cyberpunk 2077. There’ve been multiple signs indicating that the game wasn’t polished enough, the most notable of which were several delays and crunch accusations. Most importantly, the horrible performance of the game on the last-gen consoles wasn’t revealed until the release day. It rapidly resulted in a stock collapse for CDPR, which lost almost $2 billion within a few days. On top of that, the top management at the studio outright lied to the development team about the game’s state.

On behalf of a group of CD Projekt Red’s investors, Rosen Law Firm has filed a class-action lawsuit against the studio after Cyberpunk 2077’s troubled release. As reported by Business Wire, the main reason for taking legal action is the misleading advertising of the game, which turned out to be virtually unplayable on the last-gen PlayStation and Xbox consoles due to numerous bugs and performance issues. It eventually resulted in removing Cyberpunk 2077 from the PlayStation Store while platform holders are now forced to offer refunds. Investors are confident that CDPR’s reputation will be negatively affected as a result of these events. In conclusion, the overall situation implies that the studio’s promising statements regarding Cyberpunk 2077 for investors were intentionally false and irrelevant. According to the lawsuit, investors have already experienced negative consequences and financial damage. They also encourage other affected parties to join the class action lawsuit.

While CDPR is experiencing the consequences of its failed decisions, deceived and disappointed players somehow manage to view certain bugs and glitches in Cyberpunk 2077 as hilarious ones. Broken NPC animations are definitely in the top-tier list with characters aimlessly flying around and failing the simplest tasks. The main character also experiences a lot of bizarre situations. One of the finest examples is when the protagonist takes off sunglasses only to reveal another pair underneath.

Cyberpunk 2077’s messy release is steadily turning into a natural catastrophe for CD Projekt Red. Considering the failed expectations over the game, it shouldn’t be surprising that CDPR’s investors decided to take legal action. Although the lawsuit itself is yet to be approved, there’re little to no obstacles to that. It was just a matter of time, especially considering that the studio lied about the game’s performance and technical state leading to a stock collapse and financial losses. Overall, it feels like no one actually benefitted from releasing Cyberpunk 2077 in such a condition.
