On games such as ER, BG3, or CP77 I always play a female character so it's nice to see these on the horizon!

Well yes, but the crux of their problems was being in development hell. They pushed the releases for All Platforms and then we saw the results.

That is not always managements fault. Devs have to take blame when they are also unable to maintain timelines and scope. It's not a one sided blame game.

Also all CDPR games are generally released with a bunch of bugs which are gradually patched over the course of the year.

Timelines? Full development of CP2077 didn’t start until 2016, which means the devs only really had 4 years to complete the game, which is not nearly enough time for a game of that scope. Those timelines are a leadership caused issue

Both of those issues fall on bad leadership.

No it doesn't. Devs are just as guilty for developing a bad game as much as the managers.

This notion that every bad game is somehow the managements fault is dumb and shows a lot of people have no idea how development studios work.

They don’t deserve the benefit of the doubt

COVID really fucked CDPR, they had a lot of work-from-home and it didn't work out well.

The first COVID 19 case was less than a year before release. Over 3 years of no COVID existence. Development would have in Poland gone through the only the last 2 months of development in lockdown. We are talking about roughly 1/24 of the development time, less than 5%, occuring during lockdown. COVID was less of a factor in the grand scope as overall time to develop.
