A developer on Cyberpunk 2077 made earnest remarks about some of the sci-fi RPG's shortcomings, including the shortage of homeless characters on its streets.
Cyberpunk 2077's Cyberpunk was entirely aesthetic. I have zero faith in the devs being able to actually address those issues in a meaningful way.
Which is a shame because the genera's whole purpose was to criticize how capitalism would subvert potentially utopian technologies to make everything worse.
I’m excited to hear they’re making a sequel. I hope they will project manage this one better, match the ambition to the reality, give it the resources it needs when it needs them and not rush it out the gate.
