A brief summary of the Cyberpunk 2077 ban 1h4f5n
To contextualize the banning of Cyberpunk 2077, it is necessary to contextualize all the hyping around the game since its announcement. The person in charge of the game Cyberpunk 2077 it's the polish CD Projekt SA , responsible for highly successful franchises with the public such as The Witcher. So when Cyberpunk, inspired by a tabletop RPG of the same name was announced in 2012, industry expectations soared.
In January 2013 when a official teaser concept of the game was aired, in which the police fight a human with cybernetic implants in an environment that recalls the classic movie Blade Runner, the public went wild. However, the years went by without an official release date being announced, until finally E3 2019, two announcements stoked fans. The first was the inclusion of a character based on actor Keanu Reeves and the other was, finally, the April 16, 2020 release date.
However, this first date ended up being postponed to September 17, 2020 and then postponed to September 10, 2020. The justification behind it was the context of the Covid-19 pandemic, something understandable as it affected all of us and various sectors of the economy throughout world. But what behind-the-scenes testimonies revealed is that the game developers' remote work was not that affected by the coronavirus, and that the real justifications for postponement varied between “a lot of work to be done” and “a lot of bugs to fix”.
When the game was finally released and the public could have with it, it was actually realized that these two factors, mainly the bugs, impoverished everything that was promised about it. Cyberpunk 2077, converting it from a great promise to a tremendous fiasco. The more the audience played, the more bizarre and even funny mistakes were found: faceless characters that go through doors, invisible items, clothing fabrics that move on their own and another series of impediments that disrupt the gameplay and prevent the continuity of missions. .
The practical result, that is, in of pre-sales, the numbers were excellent, around 8 million units. However, with so many errors, there was no CD Projekt SA apologize and offer a refund. And that's when the banning of PlayStore entered the story. On December 17th, the store launched a page dedicated to explaining what its return policy on the game would be, in addition to banning it from its store, something that Sony never done before with any supplier.

After 6 months of controversy, not much was left for CD Projekt SA after this fiasco that would fix her mistakes, bugs and everything else that made her the only one to be banned in the history of PlayStore.

With a simple search for the CyberPunk 2077 CD on the PlayStore it is already possible to find the game, but it will in fact only be available next Monday despite the “recently announced” tag, which indicates that it has just arrived at the store. In the browser's digital store, the title has not yet been found, except for a discreet re-insertion in the PS5.
