    CDPR did nothing wrong. PS4/XB1 were hobbled by hard drives. Put SSDs in them and they get a lot better. Same with PCs from the same era. Also, tech was not ready for their game. Not their fault for not letting it hold them back. Excluding consoles would have been worse for them.

    They support Mac with CP77, which is worth a lot of goodwill for me. It plays better on my XSX, so I play it there. The Witcher 3 doesn’t support Mac, but I got it on the XSX for ten bucks. I’m happy. I already owned it on Steam, but I’m not mad. I got out of White Orchard for the first time! Looking forward to spending some quality time in the world.

      This is ignoring the glaring problems with the half-baked design that was missing any kind of innovation in open world design that had occured since witcher 3. It just felt bland and unfinished in a lot of ways, not to mention bugs galore that had nothing to do with the hardware running it. Cant blame all the glitches on the machine not being powerful enough…

      The fuck kind of mental gymnastics is this? It was their choice to release it on those platforms so the consequences are their fault.

      I say this as someone who bought this game at launch on PC and had a terrible time but then gave it another go 5 years later and loved it.
