It’s almost created this double underdog scenario for CDPR. First, they released Witcher 2 and then 3, where their game quality jumped incredibly drastically from the first game.
Then they brought their reputation crashing down to earth on Cyberpunk’s release, but fixed the game well enough that it now feels like an underdog overcoming odds in the public memory. They’ve basically fully recovered their public image, which I’m unsure if they deserve. People can like how it turned out now, but they shouldn’t forget.
