CDPR reminded everyone of the controversial Cyberpunk 2077 Steam award that offended the community. Gamers are furious once again

Nothing foreshadowed trouble, but suddenly CD Projekt RED decided to remind Cyberpunk 2077 fans why they had argued relatively recently. The result was predictable

CD Projekt RED has angered Cyberpunk 2077 fans once again. In early 2023, fans already clashed over the award “Labor of Love”, which went to the controversial Cyberpunk 2077.

This Steam award is intended for older games that receive solid ongoing support. Back then, Cyberpunk 2077 managed to beat games such as Dota 2, Project Zomboid, No Man's Sky, and Deep Rock Galactic in user votes.

This was seen as a real insult to the community (many believe the award was clearly unearned, driven by the popularity of the anime Cyberpunk: Edgerunners, which brought in the votes needed to win). Moreover, it offended not only Cyberpunk 2077 players, who still encounter bugs to this day, but also fans of other games that have genuinely received active support for many years.

In May 2023, CD Projekt RED decided to remind everyone about Cyberpunk 2077’s controversial award. Quite predictably, the community boiled over once more, as the situation has not fundamentally changed since then.
