    So the next city iteration will be a few buildings between massive parking lots and barely any pedestrian crossings or even sidewalks while all the streets are congested as fuck and it takes you ages to get anywhere because everything is so far apart?

        Totally, but maybe we don’t need that year right up at the front, since most readers already know the year. Maybe we can bump just that part to the back to make it a little more readable.

      They better not switch date to MM-DD-YYYY format.

      4th of July 2024.

      Nothing is more patriotically American than Day Month Year.

    It’s set in 2077. Why the F does it need to feel American? There’s enough Americana in media already.

      Because the Cyberpunk 2077 setting which is based on the original TTRPG is set in Night City which is in America.

    Does it have to be set in America? I’d think the genre could work almost anywhere with technological cities.

      It doesn’t have to, but it’s based on the Cyberpunk tabletop rpg which is mostly centered around Night City. So most of the existing lore is focused on America. Personally I’d prefer more games/movies/… outside the US in general, I’ve seen enough fictional versions of NYC and LA.
