The cyberpunk thing rested completely on player choices, autonomy and an “alive” city. That was sort of hyped up and then the game was a very traditional linear RPG with an OK background.
An OK game but nothing genre redefining.
And there was hope that it would be, because CDPR had proven their competence and they had enough cash and autonomy to do something crazy and new and exciting and good. And they “merely” made a good game.

Someone asked me to do a minimal but fully working prototype of… a docker hosted store front? It was apparently not very good, but the startup was kind enough to tell me why and I learned a lot. It did work, but I shoved entire python objects into sqlite and that just worked.
Ultimately I don’t know if it was what they wanted, they fixed three things and used it or if it was truly not good enough.
