Investor sues CD Projekt over failure launch of CyberPunk 2077

The foresee popular game CyberPunk 2077 launch was doesn’t a disaster for gamers, but for the gamer’s investors, too. A lawsuit was filed against CD Project, the company Cyberpunk, claims investors were misled about the game’s  performance ahead of its release, causing a significant stock price drop and losses. CD Projekt ostensibly failed to convey that the game was “virtually unplayable,” the lawsuit states, and instead marketed it as a success with a few issues that would go unnoticed by players. The plaintiff, Andrew Trampe, is looking to include other investors in the suit to turn it into a class action. CD Project said they can “sagaciously” come out of the situation, claims Bloomberg reported.

Game stop is accepting returns, even if people opened the game, which goes against its typical policy, and Sony pulled the game last week and began refunds for unsatisfied buyers.

Even on catastrophic launch the game is being regarded as one of the best selling games of the year. It has soled more than 13 million copies in two weeks since its launch. This was all possible because of the hyped marketing campaing.
