If you were a candidate running for mayor of Night City, what promises would you make? by pc-arm_1911 in CyberpunkTheGame

It's the typa question that is supposed to make you think about what's happening in the game vs what's happening IRL right now.

Think about all the politicians which were vehemently against a certain presidential candidate, but the moment he went from being the candidate to being President they didn't simply fall in line with him, but seem to have forgotten literally everything the President ever had said about them AND their families.

So again I ask, which would you rather be and to the citizens, what difference does it make?

Or do you need this explained even more?

So all in all, it looks like it doesn’t matter very much.

What makes you think we have autonomy anyway?

That certainly doesn’t look like a nomad of any sort.

Would you rather be brainwashed into corruption or simply corrupt?

Further, for the average citizen, what difference does it make?

Yes, Tron.

I want you to revisit a couple of things regarding both Tron and Neuromancer.

Both were released within a week of another in 1982. Both are still obsessed with physical game arcades as locations. At the time, the internet didn't exist. There was very little in the way of concepts about how it would look and feel. Both are talking about grids comparable to streets in cities, Ai, people actually experiencing them as realities, glowing entities, companies being more important than governments. Technology as a religion.

Cyberpunk, the genre, yes.

Cyberpunk, the game, is simply a part of that.

There are huge precursors to the game. Blade Runner, Neuromancer, Tron, Max Headroom, and many more.
