    It’s set in 2077. Why the F does it need to feel American? There’s enough Americana in media already.

      Because the Cyberpunk 2077 setting which is based on the original TTRPG is set in Night City which is in America.

          Because it makes more sense that the euro and dollar would join together into a combined currency than Europe and he US getting together to agree on manhole covers.

      They better not switch date to MM-DD-YYYY format.

      4th of July 2024.

      Nothing is more patriotically American than Day Month Year.

    Does it have to be set in America? I’d think the genre could work almost anywhere with technological cities.

      It doesn’t have to, but it’s based on the Cyberpunk tabletop rpg which is mostly centered around Night City. So most of the existing lore is focused on America. Personally I’d prefer more games/movies/… outside the US in general, I’ve seen enough fictional versions of NYC and LA.
