CD Projekt SA, the Polish video game publisher of Cyberpunk 2077, was sued by an investor who claims that the company deceived him about the potential of the bug-plagued game. This month’s failed release led to the immersion of the actions.
Andrew Trampe sued in Los Angeles federal court Thursday and seeks to represent other investors who bought the company’s securities.
CD Projekt was unable to reveal that Cyberpunk 2077 was “virtually unplayable on the current generation Xbox or Playstation systems due to a large number of bugs,” according to the complaint. As a result, Sony Corp. removed Cyberpunk 2077 from the Playstation store and Sony, Microsoft Corp. and the company were forced to offer full refunds for the game, according to the complaint.

The company’s US deposit receipts fell 25% in the three days following the release of Cyberpunk 2077 on December 10th. They fell another 16% after Sony withdrew the game from its Playstation store on December 18th.
CD Projekt representatives did not respond to a request for comments by email, sent after normal hours.
