Yes, Cyberpunk, sorry I didn’t clarify. And I agree with the 2024 take too.

As someone who is industry adjacent and has worked with people who work on games that are actively updated and improved for years…idk the Cyberpunk win doesn’t sit right with me. I have all the sympathy for the devs at CDPR and what they went through during the initial launch of the game, but this win just shows upper management at dev companies that they can get rewarded for releasing unfinished projects and finishing them later.

It’s also funny that they won against FFXIV, an actual good example of a game that was nuked to the ground and rebuilt with continuous support because of it’s initial failure.

[–] NOT_RICK@lemmy.world 3 points 11 months ago (1 children)

That’s a reasonable take. I think the win speaks to how much of a marketing even this show is.

Lol, thanks! r/gaming did not like my take 😂

[–] mcmoor@bookwormstory.social 2 points 11 months ago

Wait, FFXIV do deserve it much more how tf Cyberpunk wins. Still, isn't their best updates one or two years ago? Did they win last year?
