As you've probably already heard, CD Projekt Red's hugely anticipated release Cyberpunk 2077 has been delayed. It's now been pushed back from 19th November to 10th December.
The reason it's been delayed again is so CDPR is as ready as it possibly can be to ship all nine versions of the game. Despite the Polish-based company explaining itself and even apologising, it seems it's not gone down so well with some individuals.
In a post over on Twitter, CDPR senior game designer, Andrzej Zawadzki, has revealed the development team has been sent death threats. He's issued a stern warning to all that this is "absolutely unacceptable" and goes on to state how the talent working on the game is only human.
"I want to address one thing in regards of the @CyberpunkGame delay. I understand you're feeling angry, disappointed and want to voice your opinion about it. However, sending death threats to the developers is absolutely unacceptable and just wrong. We are people, just like you."
While this delay will be upsetting for many fans who were looking forward to playing the title not long after the Xbox Series X|S launch, it's only an extra 21 days wait - and it's not the end of the world, especially after the year we've had.

Behaviour like this is disgraceful.
I really don't know what the answer is aside from strict internet regulation. Let's be honest, if the identity of these idiots is out for all to see, they wouldn't behave like this.
I guess some people are just ignorant about the current pandemic situation and likes to burst all their pent-up anger on internet.
@Carck Haha! Don't get me wrong, it's not something I want. But these people aren't going to change on their own.
What type of sad ***** stain on humanity would threaten someone’s life over a game being delayed? I love gaming but Jesus, there’s loads of other things more important to care about than things like this. It’ll come out when it’s ready.
The internet and social media are the worst things to happen to humanity in recent times, it brings out the absolute worst in us as a species.
@Deadcow ha snap!
My days how can people be this angry/upset over a computer game... Being delayed for 3 weeks... Makes you wonder how bad there life is.. Do they literally have nothing else going on in their life
Thing is these people will be the same ones who will cry and moan no doubt if there are bugs and say its unacceptable.. They should of delayed it
Would be nice to meet some of these pathetic geeky cowards face to face, to see if they dare say crap like this without the safety of the Internet to hide behind
The mentality of those people who game all day & everyday and got nothing else to do anymore in their life : sending death threats just because a particular game is delayed.
@Bruvas Is that you, Phil Fish..?
in a 'perfect world' those cretins would be permanently banned from being able to purchase the game
I'm with everyone here. I've been a gamer for waaayy too long and I'm really looking forward to this game, but it is just a game.
Anyone who's living their lives around it and attacking those people creating this entertainment for us in these difficult times should really sort themselves out.
Mind you, the frustration and anger that hit me over 'E.T.' on my Atari could never be matched!
People who do this are scum & should be identified so they can be properly dealt with.
Pure scum, they're a bunch of whiney wimps. For badness they should delay the game to next year.
This nonsense would happen less often if there were certain consequences. I hope CDPR coordinates with Twitter and email providers to report those threats to the relevant police departments.
I’d rather the game be delayed for 2 years than to release something that will disappoint and have endless updates
Just ignore them it’s only a game 🤷🏻♂️
I feel sorry for them tbh. Must be hell for everything to be hanging off of the release of a game for these people. There is so much out there to play. My backlog is huge so where it is a disappointment when there are delays there's still s**t loads I still need to play and finish so I'm generally not bothered by delays.
