News: Is Quantic Lab’s QA quota policy actually to blame for how Cyberpunk 2077 launched?
Allegedly, based on a youtuber’s revelation, which was then cited by an article in Forbes, a whistleblower claims that Quantic Lab’s workplace structure as a third-party quality assurance team drowned the bug reporting list in low-effort or vanity-based tickets rather than pausing the game issues.

Now they’re trimming down the bloated maps to gradually accommodate fewer players, and the strongest guns in the game are being buffed rather than nerfed. Meanwhile, the Season Pass content will be canceled entirely with no refund offers. Are there really no consequences if pre-ordered Battle Passes are not fulfilled in AAA games?
