So even with funding a dev studio should have profits coming in
No, the dev should have revenue coming in, revenue that pays salaries that allows them to survive. If those salaries aren’t put towards efforts that will bring in more revenue then the revenue will stop and the business will no longer be sustainable.

Yes, obviously games without publishers aren’t controlled by publishers. Even in those situations funding dictates development, because devs have to eat.

What are you basing this on? Publishers fund development, and that funding dictates where development time is spent. Publishers also absolutely can decide when support ends, see WB getting ready to delist a bunch of games adult swim games published from steam. The devs have no say over that.

Honestly I didn’t look very closely at the screenshots and assumed it was a color filter like most games these days, but just changing the HUD is actually probably perfect, so kudos to CDPR. I haven’t played enough Cyberpunk to know if color comes up in any other gameplay elements or anything, but other than the HUD, something being color coded in some way is usually the only time it’s an issue, and having something like a shape tied to whatever you’re labeling like you described is good enough.
I think just the standard “item glow” or whatever you want to call it is good enough for highlighting objects, there might be someone out there who might struggle with the color you pick against some backgrounds, but even having 3 distinct colors would cover anyone I would think.
The problem with the filter some games have implemented is it’s fixing the few elements that could be difficult for colorblind players by trying to fix their colorblindness instead of just fixing those few things. You and I might look at an object and see a different hue but it’s still what both of us are used to seeing and trying to shift the entire color palette is going to make everything look way off, even if now I can tell the friendly and enemy healthbars apart easier.

As someone who is very colorblind, the colorblind color filter options for games have to be the most useless accessibility option of all time. I’ve never heard of anyone actually using them, and it just seems like an option companies keep throwing in without actually ever consulting anyone who is colorblind.

“That book is awful, just look at the front cover, it’s so ugly!”
Also lol at your other comment clearly demonstrating you have no idea how games are made.
