Cyberpunk 2077 devs hit back at death threats over delay CD Projekt Red[jwplayer 91I9RIGm] As anyone following the gaming scene knows, Cyberpunk 2077 has become 2020\u2019s most talked-about title. There are several reasons for this: the game\u2019s beautifully crafted dystopian world, the cast of Hollywood stars like Keanu Reeves, but mainly discussion centers around the fact that the game is constantly being delayed. The most recent delay is officially the fourth in the game\u2019s development, with CD Projekt Red pushing the release back until December 10. While the hype around the game is still there, this announcement has become one step too many for a lot of Cyberpunk fans, and has unleashed a wealth of backlash upon the game\u2019s developers: including death threats. CDPR dev calls out death threats While a vast majority of fans simply vented their disappointment and anger on Twitter in response to the announcement, some fans were so upset to even send the developers death threats. Senior developer Andrzej Zawadzki released a plea on Twitter which asked fans to remember that the death threats they are sending are being received by real people behind the computer screens. \u201cI understand you\u2019re feeling angry\u2026 However, sending death threats to developers is absolutely unacceptable and just wrong,\u201d the senior game designer wrote. https:\/\/twitter.com\/ZawAndy\/status\/1321201463545204737 On October 28, the developer tweeted out again, this time sharing a screenshot with an example of a message he\u2019d received from a tilted fan over the game\u2019s delay. \u201cThis is one of the mildest messages some of us got. There were far, FAR worse. Every single one is being reported. We will not let it go through,\u201d he said. \u201cDo not treat it lightly. Do not ignore it. It is serious.\u201d The messages he shared claimed the user knew where he lived, and that he would be \u201cfinished\u201d if they didn\u2019t release Cyberpunk on time. Zawadzki\u2019s family were also threatened. https:\/\/twitter.com\/ZawAndy\/status\/1321441240630657024 The response from fans was generally receptive, as while many acknowledged that the game\u2019s delay caused irritation, death threats are a step in the completely wrong direction. Fans are already holding CD Projekt Red accountable, but sending such vitriol to the developers is never acceptable. Death threats are never the answer to problems \u2013 in reality, they just create more. So while anger over the game\u2019s delay is understandable, it\u2019s likely also out of the control of individual developers. All that\u2019s left to do is hold our breaths that we see Cyberpunk 2077 sometime in 2020.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
