Not political. You can't fool me.

Find it hard to believe it can get any crazier. America's been at a point for a while now where they value the existence of guns over the lives of their own children.
Also, NON POLITICAL!

If what they describe as what currently exists in America is "sane" I do not want to know what "crazy" looks like. Guns are literally religion for people in some corners of the country.
Cool, I guess, but, this magical land he speaks of is just, fuckin, living in south Philly.
God, every time these guys open their mouths I get pissed.
American gun culture gone crazy
I'm pretty sure that's just regular American gun culture honestly........

This doesn't make me want to play this game at all lol
My thoughts exactly.

I'm gonna guess that Europeans' idea of "American gun culture gone wild" is not that distinct from actual American gun culture. We already have guns marketed to families and kids, for example. Also, the idea that guns are ubiquitous and everyone has one, while not true, is a common trope that shows up everywhere from jokes on TV shows to the justification of police violence.
Sorry, I don't know why I got political there. Obviously magnifying and satirizing gun culture is not meant to be a political statement.

uhh, i feel like it's pretty obviously calling out the ridiculousness of Americas gun culture.
we take [absurd thing] and crank it up 11 has been a marketing trope for decades.
I wonder if CD project Red were one of the biggest devs I'm the world before Witcher 3 instead of after, they would have said as many dumbass things about that game. I greatly prefer sci-fi to fantasy and Witcher 3 still is my game of the generation. This game should be perfect for me, and honestly everything they've shown is right up my alley. But every time they open their mouth, I get less excited for this game. I'm purely hopeful based on their pedigree at this point.
And yet a certain group of people will praise the game for how it keeps "political agendas out of it".
satire
1. a way of criticizing people or ideas in a humorous way, especially in order…

"a way of criticizing people or ideas in a humorous way, especially in order to make a political point"
Eh, American gun culture is exposed as fucking stupid and really just racism precisely because crime is actually at historic lows. Thus, white families arming themselves to the teeth over "fears" makes no sense given the crime rates in those areas.
Yet, in their fictional world gun ownership is seemingly justified since muggings and killings are common place and the police unwilling to curb this violence. I thus fail to see the satire.

What's crazier than crazy?
Funny how well these two scrubbed up for the cunts' conference.
We need a Cyberpunk version of this.

I'm aware. I'm shitting on them for not knowing how satire works.
Yea. But reading the lore book, he isn't lying. The gun culture in CP2077 is pretty insane mainly because of how advanced the tech is and dangerous Night City is. They even have a law similar to stand your ground but basically worse lol
It might not be great satire, but it's there. The cheap, no-reload, disposable guns. The continuous and needless creation of waste that literally spills blood, the obsession with the idea of self-defense, and how "a family that shoots together stays together" or some stupid shit that I feel like I've seen on a shirt somewhere.
Still ain't buying your game though, bub.

Not that it makes it any better (arguably worse) but there's no way they believe this bullshit, it was a shitty statement just so they don't rile up shitty internet communities.
Saying your game based on the Cyberpunk genre isn't political is like saying your game based on hentai isn't sexual.
