Hello! Once again Eurogamer is marking Pride Month – on this, its 50th anniversary year – with a week of features celebrating the intersection of queer culture and gaming. This morning, Dr Lloyd (Meadhbh) Houston issues a battlecry, of sorts, to make cyberpunk queer (again).<\/em><\/p>\n

And while we have you here, if you’ve been eagerly awaiting a restock of Eurogamer’s Pride t-shirts, we’re happy to report that more – in two ravishing variants – are now available for purchase<\/a>. All profits will be split between LGBTQIA+ charities Mermaids<\/a> and Mind Out<\/a>.<\/em><\/p>\n

\nI’d like to begin this piece with a coming out of sorts. “What better time to come out than Pride Month?”, I hear you say. “There’s no judgement here.” “This is a place of love and support!” But, I fear there is no pride to be taken in this admission. For you see, dear reader, I am someone who unironically quite enjoyed Cyberpunk 2077. I certainly didn’t think it was the Second Coming \/ pizza-that’s-also-ice-cream-that-gives-you-orgasms-while-doing-your-taxes epochal experience it was hyped to be, but, nor did I think it was absolutely execrable. It was schlocky and fun and a surprisingly accurate reflection of the tone (and jank) of its table-top RPG source material.\n<\/p>\n
