So, Maxim Krippa is the new boss of GSC. But who the f*ck this guy?
Ukrainian media outlet conducted an investigation that says that Maxim Krippa is a businessman and partner of Russian oligarchs.

Buggy release? Quite common for troubled development, but some might get around that one.
Turning out great later on? Not uncommon.
Talking about the later we can even use Cyberpunk as an example. Release was troubled for sure. But what it is now...

Not sure how you try to turn that into an example related to the other things you said.

The reason for this is human:
THe devs don't want to put themselves through another strenuous development cycle.
"[...] Working on increasingly ambitious games over the past decade and a half [has] taken a heavy personal toll on us and our families." […]
We [decided] it was time to put our well-being first and pull the emergency brake rather than embark on another multi-year production cycle," said Mimimi Games, who previously developed Shadow Tactics, Desperados III and The Last Tinker.
“The increased financial pressure and risk were unbearable. On top of that, every time our games got close to release and finally fun, a new fight to fund the following projects started, so it was a constant cycle."

For some reason i mixed them in as an example for a bad company that atleast had the decency to say ''enough is enough''.
Total screw-up on my part. :S
