Cyberpunk 2077 got off to a bad start, which drew the ire of investors, who even complained afterwards. This legal dispute has now been settled for a payment of millions.
Left with high hopes Cyberpunk 2077 in December 2020, but it was sometimes catastrophic. The game struggled with a number of issues, seemed far from complete and took some time to soothe the fans and win them over again. Due to these circumstances, a lawsuit was even filed against CD Projekt RED – and that has now finally been settled.
Rosen Law Firm filed the lawsuit, and CD Projekt RED has now agreed to pay a whopping $1.85 million to settle the case. The focus was on compensation payments for misleading statements by the developer regarding the actual state of Cyberpunk 2077 in the run-up to publication
The lawsuit resulted in possible damages of up to $11 million, so the settlement means CD Projekt RED is getting away with a fraction of that. Anyone who traded CD Projekt RED securities between January 16, 2020 and December 17, 2020 can benefit. $0.49 per piece can be claimed from the settlement payment.
Overall, there were originally even four separate lawsuits related to Cyberpunk 2077, which were ultimately consolidated into one. With the current settlement, the development studio can now fully focus on its actual core business again – in the hope that stories like those about the start of Cyberpunk 2077 will not repeat themselves.
At the time, the sci-fi RPG not only had numerous bugs in the retail version, it was practically unplayable due to performance difficulties on the last-gen consoles. The game was subsequently even removed from the PlayStation Store and the creators also granted refunds for returns of the game through several distribution channels.
The PS5 has decent hardware performance under the bulky hood. These ten games
demand a lot from Sony’s console.
