Mike Pondsmith's (Cyberpunk 2020 creator) response to some Cyberpunk 2077 criticism (accuracy to his orig. work, race representation) [see staff post]

[deepFlaw]

No, it's not. It was the one with the "weak gunplay" thing.

...this one? Again: seriously? That's it?

It doesn't exactly go hard on the criticism, and even then they have interview questions addressing most of it. It's essentially a completely fucking normal preview of an E3 demo while also covering exactly what's in the title. That's somehow horrible clickbait now? Jesus.

I feel like we're all getting off the course here, we're not talking about the current rules, we were talking about the Original Rules

The current rules would matter in the discussion as it shows a change by the creator to.shownbetter understanding of the subject. Rather than ignoring the multiple revisions the source material has had since the first rulebook got published 31 years ago. The changes in rules/rulings matter.

Previously on DragonBall Z:
-This fetishized in-game ad from Cyberpunk 2077 raises some questions about how the game may depict LGBT (NSFW)
-Cyberpunk 2077 Tweets Transphobic Joke, Studio Apologizes 'To All Those Offended'
-CDPR dev declines responding to Vampire 2's progressive stance, Discord mod "Stereotypes are stereotypes for a reason."

There is actually a new ongoing discussion on this subject here.

There are no rules relating to sex changes in the edition of Cyberpunk 2020 being sold today.

Nah they're 100% right

Nope, they aren't.


Fact is bigots and racist don't work on the wavelength of relational thinking. Especially the new age one's. Like they were already defending their own bullshit with Mike as a scapegoat long ago.

 

[AmbientRuin]

Nope, they aren't.

Says the poster using it to shut down criticism

 

[Cabbagehead]

This is kind of a bullshit response because he's assuming all these people making criticisms are white.

Also, because it seems like it needs to be said, him being black doesn't make him immune to being ignorant.

I absolutely hate comments like these. It's only going to embolden and aid bigots.

Click to shrink...

No this comment is aimed at myopic fools who run with conjecture.

You don't get to decide.

So? I am black and I took offense to what I seen and heard about this game already does that not matter now?
