If you mean the game it still is because the developers lied to people to sell more while making an image they are the complete opposite.
If you mean the meme it’s probably because Cyberpunk abbreviation is the same as child porn.

at launch, it was really buggy. people in Lemmy tend to hold one hell of a grudge for some reason

About the grudge, yeah that’s a gamer thing

It had a buggy launch. Then they fixed it. And they’ve kept fixing it. Making it better all the time. Now there’s a very small yet exceptionally loud contingent of annoying internet shitheads who make their entire personality shitting on Cyberpunk forever.
They had a bug once and now they refuse to play the complete, and exceptionally well polished game. But they’re very very loud about how shit the game still is even though they haven’t played more than 2 hours of it since launch.

Yes there was drama, but I feel like you’re downplaying just how bad they overpromised and underdelivered. As a huge CDPR fan since The Witcher 2, (I even preordered TW3 collectors edition the first day it was available for preorder, even though I usually don’t preorder). That release eroded a lot of the trust I had in them, even though I didn’t preorder this one since I could smell the bs from miles away.
I actually got the game for like 6 bucks on Steam during the last sale and I’m now having a blast playing through the actually stable and release-ready version. But I feel like I can still see the scars of the rushed development on the game’s main story progression. Like, I’m convinced that act 1 was supposed to be much longer and more fleshed out. Because I can’t explain why a game that has quite literally the most immersive dialogue sequences in the entire industry (in a gigantic open world FPS, of all things) would have you watch a montage of you doing a bunch of cool things with a very cool character instead of actually having you playing through them. Also you can’t convince me that montage was literally supposed to be a vertical slice of act 1 but they had to “salvage” it and actually put it 1:1 in the game because they were legally on the hook for releasing it as an early story trailer with a giant “scenes captured in engine” text.
They might go back on the “preorder worthy” list if they can abstain from blowing up the game’s hype to the moon and ride it regardless of the actual state of development. And burning out all their best talent on crunch death marches.
