I don't think its a No Man's Sky situation. Cyberpunk 2077 suffered the most from high expectations and lies told while advertising the game. The game is decent, I personally enjoyed it a lot when I bought it for 20€ a year after release. But they did not go back and add things they promised but didn't deliver on.
The performance on release was also atrocious, but that was fixed a while ago.
Now that you mention it. There was a big refund happening on PlayStation 4, I think? Because the game was basically unplayable on console.
I wonder how these things happen sometimes. Someone must have noticed, right? How did they even do any sort of testing on these versions?
I think they developed for PS5 / Xbox Series but promised backwards compatibility with PS4 / Xbox One.
The backwards compatibility just didn't work. The hardware couldn't handle it as written and they scrambled to strip it down.
