In just over three months, Cyberpunk 2077 will finally be in our hands. The wait is almost over, the newborn of CD Projekt RED sees its development about to be completed, and it should very soon return to the front of the stage thanks to a Night City Wire, although this was postponed for a few days.
Until this presentation, the game is talking about him in Quebec. The Cyber-Help Center, a ASBL Quebecer, who is fighting in particular against hypersexualization in the media, wants to open the debate on the marketing of Cyberpunk 2077, whose director of the association judges the content “inappropriate, regardless of age”, as reported Radio Canada. The production of CD Projekt RED will indeed involve violence, sex, drugs, to believe theESRB, which challenged Cathy Tétreault, director of the center, who said she was worried about the message conveyed to young people.
The goal of the approach is not to ban gambling on Quebec territory, but to encourage reflection on the sales framework. Gaming is not recommended for people under the age of 17 byESRB, the North American equivalent of PEGI. As here, this is only a non-binding recommendation. Also, she wonders if a check of the age of players in store would not be a first step:
I want to ask the government to legislate what goes into Quebec. Can we make recommendations? Should we demand a way to show that we are 18 years old? Can we say we don’t want this game?
Faced with what it describes as a “trivialization of violence and sexual violence”, the association believes that it is time to ask the right questions. But she insists: she is “not opposed to video games or the Internet”, she simply wants “to get the best out of it, by reducing the harms of the worst.” »Will it be heard by the competent authorities?
Cyberpunk 2077 is expected on PS4, Xbox One and PC for September 17, 2020. The game is available for pre-order at the Fnac (with a steelbook offered) and Amazon (which still offers the edition collector on PS4).
