CD Projekt SA, the Polish video game publisher Cyberpunk 2077, has been sued by an investor who claims that the company misled him about the potential of the game affected by errors whose wrong launch this month caused the shares to sink .
Andrew Trampe filed a lawsuit Thursday in federal court in Los Angeles and is trying to represent other investors who bought the company’s securities.
CD Projekt failed to reveal that Cyberpunk 2077 was “virtually impossible to play on current-generation Xbox or Playstation systems due to a huge number of bugs,” according to the complaint. As a result, Sony Corp. removed Cyberpunk 2077 from the Playstation store, and Sony, Microsoft Corp and the company were forced to offer full refunds for the game, according to the complaint.

The company’s US storage receipts fell by 25% in the three days following the launch of Cyberpunk 2077 on December 10th. They fell another 16% after Sony released the game from its Playstation store on December 18th.
CD Projekt representatives did not respond to a request for comments by e-mail, sent after the usual schedule.
