What is Cyberpunk? N-Agrippa

+
Not this game which name for some reason is "Cyberpunk 2077". This game is just a Neuromancer parody. Not the best parody to tell the truth.

Lets take a look deep into the source. Into Cyberpunk as written by Gibson, Sterling, Betke and others. Into Neuromancer. Johny Mnemonic. Burning Chrome.

What CD Project RED did wrong? What they do not understand?

My sentence will be even shorter than Agrippa.

Ghost in the Shell is Cyberpunk. Why? Deus Ex is Cyberpunk. Why? GUNNM Dreams of Weapon is Cyberpunk. Why?

Cyberpunk is HIGH TECH @ LOW LIFE.

Cyberpunk iS MORE than that.

Cyberpunk is never dying Hope. Cyberpunk is Love living in hearts under the metal and plastic. Cyberpunk is Humanity in inhuman age.

Cyberpunk is Renaissance. Transcendence. New Romance.

This game Cyberpunk 2077 is not Cyberpunk. Sadly, Reds, you didnt understand the essence. You gave us just another thriller.
 
Being based off the table top RPG Cyberpunk 2020; we even got the old book (in pdf) as a bonus download. I wonder how close it follows that core setting.... I have yet to read the pdf.
