Going by CDPR's explanation last week, Sony and Microsoft apparently trusted them to fix the issues enough to give them a pass.

I imagine Sony felt like they had no choice in the end - they couldn't just be the only platform without the ultra-hyped Christmas AAA release, and forcing the delay in November clearly didn't fix things. All parties involved were backed into a corner by their own hubris.

they dont apply to big publishers, because cert has to happen so far in advance of release to be able to press the discs that sony just assumes that theyre going to continue working on a day one patch

I'm not interested in Back 4 Blood at all despite liking L4D but I will feel kind of bad for Turtle Rock if the game goes the way of Evolve again.

maybe they won't kill it in the crib by paywalling everything.

They told shareholders in a public meeting that they misled platform holders about patches to get waived through cert

For people worried about Back 4 Blood after Evolve, I'm watching streams and the game certainly looks like L4D. Basically everything is identical down to starting every level at a weird firelock door. Biggest change is the special zombies who now do TONS of damage but have big glowing red weak points on different parts of their body.

Unfortunately the game also does appear to have a perk system where you choose perk cards to form a loadout so I'm just going to assume the game has some kind of lootbox situation to get these cards

Jokes aside, this is really nice news for me. I look forward to having $60 bucks in my PSN wallet by the end of the weekend and be able to pick up cool stuff this spring with PSN sales when I work though some of my backlog lol. Still, lesson learned. Never trust pre-orders (unless it's Nintendo.)

This isn't enough to actually tarnish a reputation. Bioware basically did this four games in a row and people are still lined up to get the Mass Effect Trilogy

i don't think they're automatically refunding.

but pulling it from the store might mean no patches will be allowed. which is loving great news for those that want to keep their copy. this sucks all round.

When all is said and done, CP2077 is a flawed but pretty good game. Assuming you're playing on a platform that can actually run it. Which is 3/5 right now.

I'd say this is probably moot since by the time CDPR actually release a patch that makes the game able to actually run on the console, they could just re-apply for cert

Maybe you have to contact support and ask? The other possible way to interpret it is just that it's a no-questions-asked refund and if you ask for one they'll just confirm your purchase and then go ahead and process it.

Yeah it definitely seems that way, you don't have to actually do anything so presumably they're refunding everyone who digitally purchased, and also presumably that means I can keep playing it, just can't redownload it
