BAFTA winning studio, The Chinese Room (Everybody’s Gone to the Rapture, Dear Esther), has accused CD Projekt RED of making sexist games. It all started with a GameSpot tweet about the Polish studio’s upcoming shooter, Cyberpunk 2077, which came with the following image:
Cyberpunk 2077 is more ambitious than Witcher “on every single front.” https://t.co/1G6XFmrIEt pic.twitter.com/z23YF3yrAJ

The Chinese Room responded to the tweet, calling The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt a sexist game and remarking that Cyberpunk 2077 looks set to go down the same route:
But just as sexist if that image is anything to go by… https://t.co/jlLW0lWP6z

The tweet sparked quite a debate, with majority of users lamenting The Chinese Room for making a bold statement based solely on an image that GameSpot used, and misunderstanding the premise of The Witcher 3.
CD Projekt RED did not respond.
What do our readers think of The Chinese Room’s remarks?
