It didn’t deserve the hate it recieved. I don’t think they would have had the reception they did if they didn’t release it for older gen hardware.

And yet, they did. They took people’s money happily knowing how it ran on last gen software. It was so goddamn bad that Sony removed it from their store after launch. I don’t recall that happening ever before or since, let alone to a high profile, highly anticipated game like Cyberpunk.
