I like to laugh at him as much as the next guy, but Will Smith has nothing to do with this game. He was merely a paid actor in it. Tencent failed to nake a good game and to market it properly. Nobody was going to read the article about the shit game anyway so they lead with Will "get that outta yo mouth" smith.

When Cyberpunk initially failed did you see headlines like: Keanu Reeves game flops? No because that would be stupid.
