Yeah for sure, so how much have you paid for this game? Oh wait nothing. Also pretty sure they refund people who ask so where's the issue? People like you are why cyberpunk 2077 came out the way you did. Rather it be amazing and take a while to come out than rushed and shit.
cyberpunk 2077 was delayed by like a year, what are you on about?

CP77 was an example of a game that had been in development hell for a long time for a complicated host of reasons, and it probably would never have produced a shippable game. (That is, by the time the game would be finally ready to ship, it would run into the Duke Nukem Forever problem of being so outdated that the whole design needs to be chucked out and started over to get something that wouldn't be a laughing stock.) So management cut its losses and pushed it out, hoping to recuperate as much of their investment as possible. AFAIK it sold well enough, despite the public outcry, to make a profit, so from the perspective of the capitalists this was likely the right move.

WAL isn't really comparable, the 0.6 update at least* has very clearly defined scope, unlike CP77's "we gotta be every game for everyone and simulate every aspect of an entire artificial world."

*However, I do have some concerns as to the scope of the game as a whole: Just the roster of waifus we've got will likely take a decade or more to finish at the current rate, and they intend to at least double the size of that roster for the final game. Worse, each update takes longer and longer to finish because they increase the scope to be something bigger and better than the last. They've probably bitten off way more than they can chew and if this game is finished at all I would not be surprised if it had a rushed ending where we don't visit half the areas on that big world map.

The hype built up was just fans being fans,
A lot of the hype was generated from official promo videos showing exciting aspects of gameplay, which did not even exist in the product released.
People's expectations were set, by what they were shown & told.
If the fans were shown things (e.g. wall running with blade arm implants) that the product did not contain, then it's not really on them.
If fans were told to expect "A living, breathing city, with NPC's going about unique day/night cycles", but got NPC's with no AI walking in circles, it's really not on them.
GTA V had more intuitive NPC reactions to what you do, in 2013.
It's clear that they dramatically slashed the scope. There were even skills which had no use in the game, presumably left over from how it was supposed to be (was advertised).
obviously it was going to get hyped into the stratosphere, but it's not their fault
I'm afraid that it was their fault.
They promoted the product as something which the reality didn't come close to meeting.

Lol, now that you mention it, you can't even use gold in-game.
Talk about a magic bag that never runs out.
That was a funny segment of the game for me, I laughed.:D:D:D

I think they redid them, but original skill was something like Human Shield gains +20% health.
You could only grab someone when in Stealth, not when in Combat.
So you'd have to sneak up & grab someone, then walk them up to their buddies to trigger combat, before this "skill" had any value. But you couldn't even shoot over their shoulder (despite the icon showing exactly that), so you had to drop them to engage, anyway.
Was completely, utterly worthless.
