'Cyberpunk 2077' Developers Are Now Getting Death Threats Due to Game's Delay

CD PROJEKT RED calls the threats "absolutely unacceptable and just wrong"

Yesterday the hugely anticipated Cyberpunk 2077 was delayed for third time — an announcement that caused a ton of disappointment in the gaming community. However, some people out there are so angry about the delay that they are now sending death threats to developer CD PROJEKT RED.

Cyberpunk 2077 design lead Andrzej Zawadzki took to his Twitter to condemn the threats now getting thrown at CD PROJEKT RED, saying they are "absolutely unacceptable and just wrong." He went on to explain that "We are people, just like you."

I want to address one thing in regards of the @CyberpunkGame delay.
I understand you're feeling angry, disappointed and want to voice your opinion about it.
However, sending death threats to the developers is absolutely unacceptable and just wrong. We are people, just like you.

As previously reported — Cyberpunk 2077, which features Keanu Reeves, Grimes and Refused — is now coming out on December 10 instead of November 19. When announcing the latest postponement, CD PROJEKT RED largely blamed the delay on the fast-approaching next-gen consoles, which is leading to a ton of extra complications.
