Mr. Cheezle would have never let this happen! https://t.co/ibI6k19YG1

Okay so why this happened:

- Cyberpunk arrived insanely broken on PS4 to the point of unplayability
- CDPR made announcements implying they were working with Sony and MS to do refunds
- Sony has strict policies on digital refunds and got swamped with people asking for money back

Yeah not seeing this on the store on my PS5. This is so wild! https://t.co/bHUzJtSA7L

Well

Microsoft won the console wars

Cyberpunk 2077 is currently a timed Xbox exclusive

— Imran Khan (@imranzomg) December 18, 2020

Damn that’s pretty crazy. I don’t understand why people don’t remember that the original dudes that work on Witcher 3 left and never worked on Cyberpunk 2077. It was some new dudes, give them a break.

Everyone complained when the game kept getting delayed and now? Still crying? https://t.co/r8VCh6AFNh

Bear in mind that the PS4 version of Cyberpunk is the only PlayStation version of Cyberpunk (currently); the PS5 runs the PS4 version in backwards compatibility mode https://t.co/i0HtBqAHkw

I know the criticisms of Metacritic already exist, but the Cyberpunk debacle should also be burning down that site's reputation, as well as reviewers who still use a scoring system.

There's just no way consumers should have been blindsided like this.

This is crazy and will have long lasting ramifications on CD Projekt Red

Wow, really wild

A holy shit moment for Cyberpunk -- Sony is pulling the PS4 version of the game from its digital store and offering full refunds. To my knowledge, Sony has never done something like this before, at least not for a major third-party dev like this. https://t.co/uxOsMAG8Lc

— Nick Statt (@nickstatt) December 18, 2020

In an almost unprecedented move for a AAA game Sony is offering a full refund for all purchases of Cyberpunk 2077 on the PlayStation Store

Cyberpunk 2077 will also be completely removed from PSN store and will be unable to be purchased till further noticehttps://t.co/wgA0uYZGL9 pic.twitter.com/xz7TQ5awjt

Quite extreme, but I guess not a big surprise. Even though the PS5 experience is playable, it's far from ideal. All my sympathies to the devs who had to crunch, I'm sure seeing this as the result feels super shitty.https://t.co/P6mhgQCT85

— Jenni Ahlapuro (@Jepu) December 18, 2020

It's probably just temporary, but wow, so many delays to "get it right" and CDPR wasn't even close. https://t.co/KAlSKUeXb3

— Artem Russakovskii (@ArtemR) December 18, 2020

The series of shit that would have had to take place behind the scenes for a game as high selling as Cyberpunk 2077 to get pulled from the stores and refunds issued is staggering.

My thoughts go out to the entire dev team who put in countless hours and emotions into this launch.

— Robert Bowling (@fourzerotwo) December 18, 2020

extremely funny to look back on all the good pre-launch reviews this game got a week ago

— rat king (@MikeIsaac) December 18, 2020

According to my reporting, a patch was scheduled for Cyberpunk next week, including PlayStation. What happens? https://t.co/0NaWa1JCnT

— Patrick Klepek (@patrickklepek) December 18, 2020

Sony did not want to offer refunds, because the game wasn’t “faulty.” It was still on the store. In order to allow refunds, the game then needed to be “faulty,” but a “faulty” game can’t continue to be sold. And so here we are.

— Patrick Klepek (@patrickklepek) December 18, 2020

Imagine you worked on software that had a hard deadline, and you released something so bad everyone got refunds. ?

looks like Cyberpunk is an Xbox console exclusive right now (lol). CD Projekt Red says it's not in talks with Microsoft to remove Cyberpunk 2077 from the Xbox store. Microsoft does have a vague refund policy, but I'm curious if they'll go further here https://t.co/3K5Nx6d2tD

— Tom Warren (@tomwarren) December 18, 2020

I feel terrible for the Cyberpunk devs, working their hearts out for a decade only to have ashes as their reward. This is on corporate, who knew the game wasn’t shippable but shipped it anyway. This will go down as one of the great unforced errors in video game history. Alas.

— Merry Whitta (@garywhitta) December 18, 2020

Still sat here in disbelief that Sony - SONY - pulled Cyberpunk 2077 and is offering full refunds. I feel for the devs & artists who poured their talents into this only to be ignored by higher ups. https://t.co/4CkmcAcsOU

— Tauriq Moosa (@tauriqmoosa) December 18, 2020

You have to wonder: How many programmers/testers/other devs at CD Projekt Red tried to raise the alarm that the game was just not ready, only to be rebuffed or ignored by the studio's management?

— Jason Schreier (@jasonschreier) December 18, 2020

If the game is removed completely, is that still considered a patch? https://t.co/hnRwDr47iB

— julia alexander (@loudmouthjulia) December 18, 2020

This was the right move.

Give the players their money back that want it. Remove it from the store, finish the game, give it VALUE, then put it back on when it's worth that $60 for PS4 owners.

A good step in the right direction. Let's hope it's the first step in a journey. ? https://t.co/vVYLK145fv

It probably goes without saying but the Cyberpunk 2077 situation is such a bummer. It's not my job to defend a company (nor would I) but I really feel for the individuals who worked unbelievably hard and certainly never wanted this outcome. It just sucks!
