“We are people, just like you” says Cyberpunk 2077 dev in response to death threats

Cyberpunk 2077 was delayed once again yesterday, and although the game’s release was only pushed back by 21 days, it seems that was enough to stir up some nasty corners of the internet. Senior game designer Andrzej Zawadzki took to Twitter to report that members of the dev team have received death threats in response to the news, and reminded angry fans this was not acceptable behaviour.

“I understand you’re feeling angry, disappointed and want to voice your opinion about it,” Zawadzki said last night. “However, sending death threats to the developers is absolutely unacceptable and just wrong. We are people, just like you.”

The backlash is not only related to the delay itself, but from a perception CD Projekt Red “lied” about staying on schedule, with many pointing to a specific tweet from the Cyberpunk 2077 account on 26th October promising no further delays. CD Projekt Red staff member Fabian Mario Döhla addressed this in the replies to Zawadzki’s tweet, explaining that the social media manager would not have known about the delay (seemingly confirming a report CD Projekt Red staff heard the news at the same time as everyone else).
