I get it, it's a lost cause

I'm still salty that it's not quite the game they previewed and hyped up.

But I'm glad people are enjoying it though

That's putting it mildly. The only thing this game had in common with the marketing was a cyberpunk theme. Other than that, it was pretty much a completely different game, and not much more than a common looter shooter. Looked pretty, but I tried not to look around too much because it made it obvious how empty the world really was.

I don't care if people like the game, I just wish they'd stop saying "actually it's good now" just because they made the game half-runnable. Even if it were true, it doesn't excuse the malicious bait and switch. CDPR has irredeemably lost my goodwill.

It's a good game now. They were getting fucking death threats to release the game early. What pisses me off is they were fucked if they did and fucked if they didn't but rather than give them slack because the game industry itself is predatory and abusive, you choose to be the shittiest kind of fan. The one that expected it to live up to impossible hype and that blames the company for it when it's their job to advertise it and get you excited.

I don't care that you don't like the game. I wish people would stop giving them shit for investing in making the game better. Would you rather them say fuck it and move on? Get over yourself.

How am I the worst type of fan for complaining about false advertising when you mention death threats? I'm not even a fan. They couldn't even deliver on the game being a fucking RPG.

So yes, I do want them to stop working on this flaming dog pile and give the RPG genre another shot so I can maybe get something close to what they told me I was buying. I've never contacted any of the devs about this, I haven't led any hate campaigns, I am just bitter about being grossly mislead, and you're the one blowing that criticism out of the water.
