Forbes - ‘Cyberpunk 2077’ Reveals Mirror Anthem’s Failures With One Change: It’s Still A Hit. Thanks Acleacius.
"And yet through it all, even if you can correctly call the launch of Cyberpunk 'disastrous' from a technical and uh, moral perspective, given the amount of deception involved, technically, we cannot overlook the fact that the game has achieved an entirely different end result than Anthem and others. It’s a hit. It’s a big hit, and unfortunately, I fear that that the takeaway for some, including the higher-ups at CDPR, may be that the ends justify the means."

This opinion is why no one should ever go to Forbes for a worthwhile and insightful view of consumer computer technology and software...;) To think that anyone would compare Anthem with CyberPunk 2077 is--well--just nuts...;)

Fixating on the two games being compared is completely missing the core point of the article:

More executives will see that rushed and half-finished products can still sell massively with high amounts of pre-release marketing.

Well, you're not wrong, but I don't see how anything is going to change that perspective at this point. Release, then patch extensively, that seems to be the modus operandi for every game now.
