cyberpunk is a shitty game I wouldn’t even play it if I stole it. Things have gotten so bad I desire almost nothing and what is even free is not even worth my time. It is really a blessing. These capocorpos can’t even squeeze out mediocre turds anymore. Everything sucks for real. Not even worth stealing. Only low IQ people like this shit. Sorry if I hurt your feelings. Not even worth stealing hahaha
Cyberpunk is a genre of science fiction (mostly literature) often credited with being sparked by William Gibson’s “Neuromancer”
It is a far larger and more influential piece of contemporary science fiction and pop culture than simply being an open world video game
The title of the video game is in reference to the genre that has existed since the 1980s, and honestly the game is more of a retro future 1980s style sci Fi action/crime thriller game than a genuine “Cyberpunk” work of fiction, at least thematically speaking. Uh weirdly Deus Ex (1) is sort of more Cyberpunk in essence than “Cyberpunk 2077”
(William Gibson himself has stated that the cyberpunk 2077 game essentially only shares an aesthetic theme with the genre. A retro future 1980s aesthetic essentially being all that it shares with some cyberpunk fiction. Cyberpunk fiction has nothing to do necessarily with the 1980s vibe, Neuromancer and other early works simply happened to have been written during that time period.)

Cyberpunk is a genre beyond the game.
It started in literature, too.

Aktshually Cyberpunk 2077 is referencing the pen & paper RPG Cyberpunk 2020. Other than that, you’re absolutely correct.
Ay that makes sense it’s grounded in a pen and paper game
Isn’t it referencing the universe created by Mike Pondsmith?
Well, yes. But I already played the “aktshually” card, so you can’t do the same
