The Cyberpunk 2077 “Cult” Could Kill The Game

The very anticipated game, Cyberpunk 2077, will finally be released on December 10th, eight years after it was first announced by CD Projekt Red. However, the game faced several delays throughout 2020, and early reviews have warned there could be some game-breaking bugs at launch.

This is also the concern of a popular twitch streamer named Moistcr1tikal who explained that too much hype for a game can easily backfire. Moistcr1tikal started the topic by reassuring viewers that he’s excited for Cyberpunk 2077 too. Some gamers on reddit and on twitter are expecting too much from this game and anticipating a life changing experience. Twitch streamer Moistcr1tikal further questioned the internet’s unwavering loyalty to a game that hasn’t even been released yet and urged players to lower their expectations and actually play Cyberpunk 2077 before deciding what they think of it.

He explained during the live stream; “It is, at the end of the day, probably just going to be more of what we’ve seen before from video games. Just very good writing, a very good universe, it’s going to look great, and I think the gameplay’s going to be fun, But I don’t think it’s going to live up to these absolutely absurd expectations people are putting on this game. An entire cult is developing around the worship of this game pre-release. It’s crazy to me, and I don’t really understand why.”
