There's no integrity in gaming these days. I think cd project is testing the waters already to see if they can get away with this based on their recent statements of "we're working on the expansion now" and "next gen may not make it by the end of 2021". I hope I'm wrong.
I hope you're wrong. I think the biggest difference, here, is that it is a high quality game on PC. At the very least, an expansion is warranted then.
A separate thought: Half the reason this went as badly as it did was because of the enormous marketing budget. Eventually, a ROI is needed on a budget like that, and I imagine the decision to release in the state it was, was a decision do-or-die situation that could have ended up folding the entire company into bankruptcy. CDPR has luckily avoided that, for what it's worth. They
do make good games, but bad management destroyed any goodwill they had earned.
