He's also one of the few who actually like, fixed everything? Aside from this and Cyberpunk2077 what else major launched in such a disastrous way and yet is now actually good?
Cyberpunk2077 hasn't actually achieved even half of what it promised yet. For example they promised Trauma Team playing a key role, they promised frequent flying avs, they promised jacking into building systems through hijacking people, all kinds of shit.
Just look at this short clip for example: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vjF9GgrY9c0&t=2531s
This shit is nowhere to be seen. It's not a game feature. And the way they talk about quests rippling through your game is just total bullshit. Baldur's Gate 3 genuinely achieves that, Cyberpunk does not.
This is just a couple of things I can think of off the top of my head but I know for a fact that there's hundreds of things they talked about that never made it anywhere near the players.
Maybe I've forgotten a lot of the promises about it, because it launched barely playable and now it's fine, runs well and is a decent game.
Here's a couple more random ones
There will be over 1,000 Cyberpunk 2077 NPCs with daily routines

Or what about environmental hazards that would be life threatening to the player? They said there'd be acid rain and other negative weather effects that were life threatening.

There's so much shit like this lol. Anything people spoke to them about they echoed back that it was absolutely in the game. Not once in the entirety of the interview process before game launch did a single developer attempt to set expectations at any kind of reasonable level, I'm sure they were told never to tell people that X wasn't in the game, so they just always said it was. When you extrapolate this out over all the interviews they did they said A LOT of shit that isn't actually a thing at all.
so like what that was all like pre rendered or something but they said it's gameplay footage
