What Gethsemani said, plus they outright lied about the state of the game to avoid upsetting the precious shareholders, who ended up losing a ton of $$ anyways due to the game having a shitshow launch. They also lied about all the features the game was supposed to have from earlier trailers that either never made it into the game, or were severely downgraded.
Because it's not just a subpar port. On console it launched as an unplayable mess wrapped in lies.
You know who else had a roadmap? Literally every game that fucked up their launch. You know how many have followed through? 1.
No Mans Sky never actually did the Roadmap thing, initially they went radio silent before throwing out the first Foundation update. They just kind of pop up like "oh hey, this is getting X next week"

Here's the official article, if anyone's interested:Report: Cyberpunk Development Didn't Really Start Until 2016
Cyberpunk 2077 was announced back in 2012 and shown off to the world with a cinematic trailer in 2013, but work on the game didn’t begin for real until 2016, according to a new report by Bloomberg. That’s when CD Projekt studio head Adam Badowski took over as director, several veteran developers...
Cyberpunk is started to sound more and more like an Anthem-type situation.
I can already tell he is full of shit in this regard. It's Anthem and Colonial Marines all over again.
It’s almost like...his pride is still preventing him from learning a very important lesson from all this. Making excuses. What he should be saying is, “You’re right. We really fucked up there, among other aspects.”
Yahtzee and Nick saw at least one of those demonstrations and they said they were, IIRC, rather "bored" by it all. The game didn't show off anything they haven't seen before.
Looting as many uses, on the most basic level it's a form of gambling, you never know when you're going to get something good. It also offer a nice progression that's (ideally) visually represented on your character. It also offer a natural way to give reward to the player for every combat encounter, even if they're part of any mission and it also means that mission which have useless reward for the player (say it gives a sniper but the player is focused on shotgun) still have the possibility of useful reward. It also gives a reason for the player to look at the environment and notice the small details.
