This just reads like projection from some rank and file game dev worker.

>>30971it's so funny to me that a dev wrote that just as they were undergoing grueling crunch. or maybe we're working under several layers of irony here, zabki is like 20 minutes away from CDPR's HQ lol

>>30970this is like the fucking anti-communist yoshikage kira copypasta. kinda based that the ussr exists in that timeline tho

No.31012
it’s cuberpunk only in aesthetics, cyber usa has public transportation. Setting seemingly worsened by authors’s lack of class consciousness.

>>31010>kinda based that the ussr exists in that timeline thothe ussr became a capitalist shithole just like the rest of the world but retained the name, i dont think the retard who wrote ops pic knew this tho
No.31068
>>31012>authors’s lack of class consciousness.i just finished the expansion and watched the credits, there's like a team of 10 to 15 people all chipping in. "qa story analyst" is apparently a real job title. it's obviously design by committee stuff, pondsmith is just there to be consulted on the lore.
that being said the expansion is much much better than the base game, turns out the president of the states is a real bitch, who woulda known
>>31010the thing that bothers me is that the USSR existing makes no sense, there's simply no way the US would let a zaibatsu form while the USSR still exists, it just fundamentally misunderstands the geopolitical role the soviet union played and how its mere existence allowed for civil right movements and worker movements across the west to flourish, and how its dissolution deeply compromised them.
No.31084
Cyberpunk is a game written by polish people and in the games lore the USSR is revived. What did they mean by this?
No.31160
>>31084it was written by some american guy like 40 years ago. No idea what he wrote since the setting is pretty generic, but he did seemingly write something.
No.31162
>>31160It wasn't really generic at the time, this was in the era when cyberpunk was just being codified

punk is anticommunist
this is consistent
No.31432
>>31068which is funny because even in the 80s people understood this. that's why most cyber-dystopia stories at the time took for granted the fall of the soviet union in their world building
but this is apparently a board game so you should expect the author to be exceptionally ignorant and mediocre
No.31433
>>31432There's tons of sci-fi from the cold war which has the USSR still in it though. Other than ones in the far future what examples are there where the USSR has collapsed?
