Regarding a game coming out next month (which one doesn't really matter):

So I clicked through and for a split second thought it might be a city sim making a cyberpunk dystopia, and then I saw the RPG tag and was a bit disappointed. It made me wonder, does such a game exist? Is there a city sim where the point is to build a sprawling city meant to have sky cars and slums and dank dark corners and huge, reality defying skyscrapers? Make a city that was intended to directly attract huge megacorps to come and spend tons of money to build in your place? Craft custom new merch like robo-arms and weirdo drugs to dazzle the milling masses into a stupor? Crafting a city of neon and grit?

Because if not, someone needs to get on that.

My response:

Don't forget the sewer system. Because it rains literally all the damn time.

(Also, that's where the corps dump the failed experiments. And the runner bodies. Who got in through the sewers...)

EDIT: The original poster acknowledged that a certain amount of 'punk activity would be, in fact, a vital part of a properly functioning economy/ecology.
