During my interview with game director Adam Badowski, the man leading the Cyberpunk 2077 team seemed apprehensive about the game’s reception. Of course, he’d basically been locked inside a conference room for three straight days and wasn’t quite aware of just how well the game’s 50-minute hands-off demonstration was being received. It was a rare moment for me as a journalist, a kind of Schrödinger’s cat situation.

Inside that interview room, the first public showing of Cyberpunk 2077 was simultaneously a huge success and a catastrophic failure. The situation weighed heavily on Badowski.
