Not to be THAT guy, but the people that wrote some of the things I mentioned above tend to be the ones that go out of their way to be outraged about certain things in games media. It being exclusive had very little do with that.
Gotcha, that makes sense, I wasn’t 100% if exclusivity was part of it so that clears it up a bit. Thanks Nick
The first game had a(n attempt) of a message. II was just "Revenge good; Zeus and Gods are worse than Kratos!". III likes to pretend to have a message, but comes off as hypocritical and deaf tone. Kratos is treated as the lesser evil compared to the Olympians, but he's actually much worse in context or by comparison. I loved GoW4 so much precisely, because Kratos finally learned his lesson!
I'm not sure 2 really knows what it wanted to say other then "BLOOD!"
I get the impression he meant that they had things like “corporate asshats” and “shareholders” forcing their hand into doing something(s) incredibly stupid this time around, on top of normal game development struggles.Cyberpunk 2077 Developer Doesn't Think Fans Understand How Ambitious the Game Was to Make

I have not played cyberpunk and only seen a few live streams like the one Yahtzee/Jack/Nick did but one of the statements in the article really stands out to me.
“I don't really feel like the players and the journalists fully, completely understand how difficult it was to make this game”
I feel like this statement is a bit self-serving, I freely admit however that I don’t know what kind of work goes into things like coding and pathfinding AI etc.
