Cyberpunk 2077 Game Dev Faced Launch Criticism From His Landlord
While it was lauded for its story, setting, and visuals, Cyberpunk 2077 faced heavy criticism when it released due to the game's many technical issues. Poor performance and countless bugs - particularly on the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One versions - converted much of the hype the RPG generated prior to its launch into disappointment and anger. Since then, Cyberpunk 2077 has improved thanks to the efforts of developer CD Projekt Red, but the Polish studio and its employees had to endure a lot to get here.

After Amatangelo said yes, the landlord then revealed that he had purchased Cyberpunk 2077 and played on a PS4.

In the end, CD Projekt Red was able to turn Cyberpunk 2077 into one of gaming's greatest redemption stories, although it was unclear if Amatangelo was able to get his showerhead repaired.

CD Projekt Red has seemingly become satisfied with the current state of the game, as the company released the final major update for Cyberpunk 2077 last December.
