One customer remarked, "I couldn’t believe it lmfao," highlighting the impulsive nature of the purchase driven by the unexpected discount.

The situation is a result of an error we made when submitting the discount. We have corrected the error and new discounts have now been applied. Purchases made at the previous discount rate are unaffected by this change."
Customer Reactions and Industry Implications
The decision to honor the sales made at the incorrect prices has been well-received by fans. Many expressed appreciation for CD Projekt's integrity, contrasting it with the practices of other companies that might have canceled orders citing a "system error." One fan noted, "Props to CDPR for honoring it though, lot of companies would've just cancelled the orders and blamed a 'system error.' Makes me want to support them more." This positive reception may enhance customer loyalty and trust in CD Projekt, especially as the gaming community often scrutinizes corporate practices regarding pricing and customer service.
Conclusion
CD Projekt's handling of the discount error on *Cyberpunk 2077* and *The Witcher 3* reflects a commitment to customer satisfaction, which could have lasting effects on its reputation. By honoring the sales, the company not only mitigated potential backlash but also strengthened its relationship with consumers, who are likely to view the company favorably in future transactions.
