Is the last one the symbol of the players gang or something?

Valentinos latin american gang, Jackie from that long gameplay was a member of that group.

[Funposter]

so the 4th one is a gang of people who really like Doom?

 

[Grotesque]

"Formed in 2076 after the death of Elizabeth “Lizzie” Borden, a strip club owner & ex-prostitute who treated her workers fairly and defended them from violent clients, The Mox refer to themselves as “those who protect working girls and guys” from violence and abuse"

"and guys". but what about the non binary!?

A gang that treats sexual workers fairly. What a load of bullshit.
It is like this lore was imagined by a hello kitty adolescent girl that projects her hopes and "wouldn't that be swell" dreams with no foothold in reality/some universal truths.

 

[Mebrilia the Viera Queen]

So anything new showcased? Or they are still at marketing sunt cosplay contests or stupid case contests?

 

[Dedicated_Dark]

So.. https://www.oneangrygamer.net/2020/...ains-diversity-rules-in-new-ir-report/106980/

CDProjekt has diversity rules now.

 

[Latelistener]

Not sure when this shit will end. If it will ever end. It's like no matter which game you choose, it's always tainted with politics. It's not like I expected much from CDP, but they surrendered rather quickly.

Cyberpunk 2077’s DLC will be revealed before release, with ‘no less’ than Witcher 3, CD Projekt suggests
COMPANY DISCUSSES POST-LAUNCH PLANS

Cyberpunk 2077’s DLC and story expansions will be announced before the game’s September release, developer CD Projekt has suggested.

Speaking in a Polish investor Q&A on Thursday (translated by VGC), CD Projekt president Adam Kiciński confirmed that Cyberpunk 2077 will have “no less DLC than The Witcher 3 had.”

The comment suggests Cyberpunk will receive content equivalent to or bigger than the two full story expansions and 16 DLC packs The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt did following its release in May 2015.

On announcement timing, Kiciński said to expect “a similar scenario to The Witcher 3,” when DLC packs were announced three months before its planned release (which was later delayed) and expansions detailed a few weeks ahead of its release.

The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt released with an extensive DLC calendar which saw two pieces of free DLC drop every week for two months following the game’s release. The Witcher 3 DLC packs included five new quests, new weapons and armour sets, cosmetics and a New Game + mode.

The game’s two story-driven expansions, Hearts of Stone and Blood and Wine, were announced and detailed several weeks before The Witcher 3’s release. Promising an additional 30 hours of gameplay, they released in October 2015 and May 2016.

One of Cyberpunk 2077’s designers previously indicated that the Cyberpunk 2077 DLC strategy would be influenced by post-launch support for The Witcher 3.

Level designer Max Pears told VGC in September 2019 that developer CD Projekt Red had “learnt a lot from Witcher 3 and how that DLC worked.”

He said: “We’ve learnt from that and that is the strategy for how we’ll apply DLC to Cyberpunk as well. We’ll look to take what we’ve learnt from Witcher 3 and apply that.

“With Witcher 3 the game got better with quality of life updates for the community as well, like how we improved the UI and things like that.”

CD Projekt has previously said the planned Cyberpunk multiplayer game isn’t likely to arrive before 2022.

In a management board report released on Wednesday, Kiciński said that despite switching to remote working three weeks ago, there have been no major disruptions to Cyberpunk’s development schedule and he is confident of hitting the game’s September release.

The company announced in January that the Cyberpunk 2077 release date had been delayed from this April to September 17, 2020.

“Since mid-March we have been working from home, while ensuring continuity of all our of operations,” Kiciński said.

“Our goals haven’t changed; first and foremost, we intend to release Cyberpunk 2077 in September. We feel motivated and have the necessary tools at our disposal to meet this goal.”

However, working from home and the closure of recording studios due to the coronavirus pandemic has held up the localisation process, meaning some voice work might have to be added to Cyberpunk 2077 in a launch day patch.

CD Projekt intends to release a “proper, full-blown next-gen version” of Cyberpunk 2077 for Xbox Series X and PS5, it said this week – but it won’t be a launch game.

 

[Häyhä]

It's not like the Moxes gang is out-of-place considering the setting, Cyberpunk lore is full of silly booster gangs like https://cyberpunk.fandom.com/wiki/Bradi_Bunch

I wouldn't even say that the concept is that far out there or stupid, it reminds me of the Whores of the Old Town in Miller's Sin City who were basically an all-female organized crime syndicate handling all the prostitution.

Besides, R.Talsorian Games/Mike Pondsmith also seems like pretty much your typical U.S. West Coast liberal, I don't know if he's always been like that, maybe, but to expect something shocking, politically incorrect, controversial etc. content from them isn't going to happen, especially in a multi-million dollar entertainment product like this. It was never going to happen.

The hopes of that type of girl are not in whore houses.
This was imagined by other type of person.

 

[Manjuice Nutella]

And once again DLCs will be better than the base game.

CD Projekt Red has teased one of the gangs to be present in Cyberpunk 2077. This gang, The Mox, formed after the death of ex-prostitute Elizabeth “Lizzie” Borden and happens to look out for others “fairly.” Speaking of similar mentality, CD Projekt Red also touches on its “diversity rules” as per its latest investor relations.

Firstly, CD Projekt Red took to Twitter to tease the latest gang to be in the forthcoming game slated for September 17th, 2020, which is The Mox. This gang in question knows their way around the streets, much like the leader knew her way around the bedroom.

Formed a year before the game takes place, which is after the death of the former strip club owner and ex-prostitute, the members of The Mox seek to “protect working girls and guys” from violence and abuse:

RIP CD Projekt Red and RIP GOG.

A gang that treats sexual workers fairly. What a load of bullshit.

Look at this gay who never read/watched Sin City.

Oh, it's in the lore you say?
Well I guess the lore is just as shit then.

The Bunch is a poser gang who use bio–sculpting to look like members of an old sitcom. They are an extended family gang which protects runaway children. A few older “adults” run the gang and protect the turf, while the younger members steal and deal. They’re territorial and fiercely protective of their members.

Anyone who's gonna play this game is a degenerate.

That means we are going to see the whole RPG Codex there.

look at this imbecile's argument citing an equally moronic example

bitch! if you wanna insult someone, don't use "gay".
expand your vocabulary. you read too many comics

 

[Häyhä]

Funny how some posters here think that prostitutes wouldn't be protected in the criminal underworld. It's quite the opposite, they are extremely valuable commodities, especially high-class whores, and always have been. And what better way to get sex workers come and work for you than to offer them better working conditions including a guarantee that if some customer roughs them up then they're in for a world of hurt, it's capitalistic job-market at it's finest, you won't keep good employees by treating them like shit, not even whores.

None of this matters if the devs are just putting it in the game to virtue signal about how pro "sex work" they are.

It matters little what their motivation is if they won't overly push a certain agenda or narrative. And besides wrong what's with being "pro" sex work anyway?

Sure, but, in the real world, the 'defense' of these whooers isn't left to TOUGH AS NAILS BADASS FIGHTER WOMEN, and rather enforcers hired by pimps who can break your knees when you get a little rough with the whooer. Some girl with a funny haircut and a cool gun shooting you when you call a whooer a whooer is just dumb.

While what you say is certainly true in our world, were not talking about the "real world" here, were talking about a science fiction (emphasis on the word "fiction" here) videogame based on a RPG setting with much goofier stuff and filled with people with those stupid haircuts. All-female gangs have also featured prominently in the "genre", from the movie The Warriors to Sin City which I mentioned before. I'm pretty sure there have been quite a few female gangs in the real world as well.

Besides, in a world with cybernetic full-body modification available quite commonly, the physical difference between males and females would be basically rendered indistinquishable when we're talking about CYBERNETIC BOOSTER GANGERS so there's also that.

I really don't understand getting all up-in arms with a minor non-issue like this when there are probably quite a few real problems (shitty looking combat for example) with this game when it eventually comes out.

Verisimilitude.

Third world/underworld prostitution enforcement and protection, which this draws upon, is not and never has been run by women. When you alter enough details like this to suit modern western sensibilities('women are strong, aggressive and can and will do anything a man can do') as I believe you could reasonably expect this was, you create a world that has a nagging, grating effect on someone who is not inculcated to it.

Ah, the best argument of them all. It's fickshun, so it doesn't have to make sense.
