Weeks ago the CyberPunk stated they had "gone gold"... now everyone knows, and I certainty was aware, ever since the original Tom Clancy Rainbow Six days... that when something "goes gold" it means it cut the disc printing presses.... that the CD/DVD/blu-ray/etc discs were already being burned/made and project packaged...
Steam is digital distribution, Stadia even more so... but the Amazon pre-order I did was for the PS4/5 version which is a disc not the digital code....
Here is the problem: don't tell us you have "gone gold" if you really haven't... don't use the term "gone gold" if you haven't actually "gone gold",and instead be more precise in your distinction of the standpoint of status of the development of your product instead of cling to industry terms that you then retroactively redefine and recast unilaterally...
How in the world do you "gone gold" and then tell us that you made the decision to force 6 day works of your developers? Oh the excuse this time is that they are working on the so-called "day one" patch.... Now you come out of the woodworks and finally admit that you have also recently decided to cut content? Not only making the storyline shorter but cut functionality as well!? Wait what? How can you do this after stating you have already "gone gold"? Are you to assume this means you are doing to redacting/trimming with the so called day one patch?
What does this mean that players on the hard copy physical disc of xbox and playstation if they don't immediately apply the day 1 patch they can experience the cyberpunk game as how it was before you made the decision to cut functionality and trim content?
If not, if that isnt' the case then only two possibilities per logic:
1.) either your gone gold was a misrepresentation (read : lie) and you were never finished in the first place much less gone gold anything...
2.) it isn't the day 1 patch that will do the retroactive content and functionality cutting but indeed and infact you already cutted the content and neutered the functionality of the game even before you officially "went gold" date. which means you waited weeks and weeks later to deliberately mislead the public when you could have fessed up and told us you cut the content weeks ago right before you decided to tell us you gone gold...
Either way it doesn't bode well for the status and reputation nor confidence in this game nor your company or its perception and public image...
Maybe going Gold ain't mean what it used to, maybe CD Project Red is has taken the industry off the gold standard... in any case they aren't gonna get my gold...
I'm getting my money back and will try WatchDogs Legions on the Stadia before buying instead....
