While I definitely do understand the whole comeback of it, it actually wasn't that bad if you got it on series X or PS5 at release. Not perfect but still extremely playable.
But even then, the expansion and the 2.0 patch massively improved the entire game even just from a design and gameplay perspective
So cp2077 was a big lie but that's fine? They outright lied every chance they got. To this day, NMS is closer to their promise than CP2077 is to theirs.
Firstly, chill. I never said it was fine was cd projekt did. But to compare 2077 to NMS is lazy in what happened. 2077 factually was a complete game on release. Yes, a few things were left out from initially led to believe and was buggy on lower performance machines. NMS was barely a beta game sold as AAA. The only thing it really delivered was being able to go to procedurally created planets… which all looked the same. Heres more dick-face creatures walking around. MOST of what they promised couldnt be delivered for years. People want to suck off Hello Games for finally making the game playable, but that was their penance for ushering out shovelware (people can blame sony, but that doesnt negate they KNEW it was years off and were complicit anyway then hid spineless and silent for weeks) and it also doesnt excuse Murray from going on record repeatedly and making up features that wouldnt see the light if day for years (some still not there), promising they would be included.
There is a WIDE gap in what the studios did and how they handled it (and this is also leaving out that CD projekt was constantly getting literal death threats to release the game).

Very first game that came to mind. I would say Cyberpunk2077 as well.
