Hey Black Chamber,
Hope all is well with you and congratulations on another brilliant OT. Your passion is evident and works to create a great atmosphere.
As is probably not a secret there's contention between the game, the company, the trans community and the events ongoing in Poland. These concerns only grow as the crackdown in the country does, and as CDPR work to further entrench their views as "art". Being candid were it not for the issues spoken of, CP77 would be my most anticipated game and posts of mine prior to knowing what we do know share the same enthusiasm you do now.
I'm reaching out to say I'll be putting a post in the thread about the issue, with links to articles and how to support people in the community in Poland.
It's non-combative, allows for people buying the game to not feel bad at all but highlights why this is a concern for many. I've avoided the first page as I know you've put a lot of work into the thread, and will be posting before the video so the hype isn't diminished where it counts. Plus, being honest, it's not like much could combat Cyberpunk hype when it gets going.
I've avoided going into other threads on it but with the situation worsening I want to put an advocacy post there for people unaware of some of the broader context. Again, it isn't aimed at or mean to people who are looking to enjoy the hype, the intent isn't to make people feel bad.
Just wanted to give you some acknowledgement as it's an awkward situation where your enthusiasm clashes with something important to me, and I don't want to put you down.
All the best and hope the video is all you want it to be 🌃
