It’s no secret that Cyberpunk 2077 launched with a mountain of issues for players to contend with, whether you’re playing the blatantly broken and poor quality version on last-gen consoles or the bug-filled mess on PC at a higher frame rate and resolution.

If rumors turned out to be true, we would have seen FromSoftware’s Elden Ring at multiple events this year, but that didn’t happen and there’s no word on what’s next.

CD Projekt RED’s boss Adam Badowski has probably realized by now that his recent push for crunch to get Cyberpunk 2077 out by its revised December 10th release date wasn’t a great idea.

The PlayStation 5 and toilet paper have a few things in common: they both experienced severe shortages this year, were picked up by scalpers and hoarders, and were nowhere to be found.

The PS5 is in hot demand right now, apparently hot enough demand to warrant literal Fast and Furious-style heists of the console from moving high-speed vehicles.
