The PlayStation game Cyberpunk 2077 was going to be a mega popular game. Eight years were spent working on it and investing heavily in it. The goal was to launch the game before Christmas 2020 at the same time as the PlayStation 5. There was a lot of pressure on this and even though the game was not quite ready, it was launched. As a result, there were a lot of errors in the game and the game could no longer be sold.
