CDPR could be a lot better with mods, they intentionally undercooked their mod tools to 'protect' DLC sales. Didn't stop people from doing some wild things like replacing all combat with themed Gwent decks.
Ah I see they're using the low hanging fruits for free PR again. I'm sure everyone will forget about the state their games released in when it's time to pre order the witcher 4
Yep, it's exactly what people said would happen after 2077 came out. In about a year or two we're gonna start seeing articles like "Henry Cavill saw an early preview of the Witcher 4 and said it was AMAZING!!!" and people are gonna eat that shit up.
Their release wasn't great for many people but they did improve it constantly over the years. To be fair as a PC player I didn't have many issues so my opinion is biased.
