Lawsuit filed yesterday against CD Projekt, the company behind cyberpunk, claims investors were misled about the game’s performance ahead of its release. Cd Projekt allegedly failed to convey that the game was’virtually unplayable’, and instead marketed it as a success. The plaintiff, Andrew trampe, is looking to include other investors in the suit to turn it into a class action.
Cd Projekt said in a court filing it would’go vigorously’ to defend itself against the investor’s claims. The investor is accused of filing a lawsuit against Projekt.
Gamestop is accepting returns, even if people opened the game. Sony pulled the game last week and began processing digital refunds for unsatisfied buyers.
The game sold more than 13 million copies in the two weeks since its launch. Many of those sales came from preorders after a much hyped marketing campaign.
