#2Software estimations are hard.

#3This is its third delay I think. And AFTER announcing its gold status. This is so bizarre. And it's not even an amateur studio or a monumental project like Star Citizen. They delivered multiple projects that were at least of comparable size.
They released so many trailers in the last weeks and even days. This must be so expensive purely from a marketing perspective.
Also none of the reasons are news. Corona has been here for a long time now, and other teams deal with it, too. And I'm sure the release platforms have also been set in stone for a long time.
Also just Yesterday they posted this on twitter: https://twitter.com/CyberpunkGame/status/1320829781936640013

#4At least it will give people more time to get new hardware in place.

They also delivered Witcher 2, which - many years later - is still full of bugs and not playable on some HW.

#6>"Some of you might also be wondering what these words mean in light of us saying we achieved gold master some time ago. Passing certification, or 'going gold', means the game is ready, can be completed, and has all content in it. But it doesn't mean we stop working on it and raising the quality bar."
No... that's actually exactly what it means. Going gold means the branch is cut, it's in the can, and discs are being printed. Just admit that you exaggerated for press coverage and get over it. No one really cares about another month delay, but lying about going gold is just bizarre.

#7Don't get me wrong, I do love games and cyperpunk culture. But is this REALLY HN frontpage worthy?

Gold has meant nothing since Day 0 patches became a thing.

#9Pushing to release a "minimum viable product" over polishing games prior to launch is something more game development companies should do.

They might actually be printing discs, though. Nowadays, multi-gigabyte day-one patches are commonplace, so all the disk is for is shipping art assets cheaply (and supporting legacy retail sales). So as long as the art assets are 95% done, that’s good enough to “go gold” and start printing.
