so in 20 years when its released, we’ll have a lukewarm statement on homelessness being “not nice” in a videogame marketed by sexualized trans bodies. awesome, thanks bros
Kind of a given for the entire genre, isn’t it?
You’d be surprised how many people’s heads that goes over
Somehow also CDPR
TLDR:
The dystopian hellscape set in the future isn’t as dystopian as current reality…
The video game is fairly tame when it comes to themes like this, when compared to the source material and genre as a whole.
“Cyberpunk was a warning, not an aspiration.” – Mike Pondsmith
Honestly its aspirational at this point, there’s no way we’d get cybernetics IRL without them being directly remote controlable by police, companies or just rich people who pay a small fee to watch poor people hit themselves.
They should focus on making a functioning playable game within 3 years of launching it before they focus on preaching at its players
Odd, it was functioning just fine and entirely playable for me at launch. I put over 100 hours into my first play through without issue
Isn’t that… like… almost the entirety of the purpose of the genre?
