* SeinfeldIsUnfunny: Mostly due to AdaptationDisplacement, there were some people who have claimed the video game adaptation ''VideoGame/Cyberpunk2077'''s aesthetics felt too generic. The tabletop game it's based on was the codifier for many of the genre's tropes, so it’s somewhat unsurprising that many of its tropes feel very familiar. This has resulted in a game where many of the ShoutOut references are referencing something that was inspired by, or was itself a reference to the original ''Cyberpunk'' tabletop game setting.

* HarsherInHindsight: [[http://puu.sh/FURJb.jpg The description of Nomads' views on pre-Collapse America]] in the ''Neo-Tribes'' sourcebook comes off as eerily prescient in the new '10s, both of the concerns expressed and of the sharp rise in people who hold said concerns.

* FanonDiscontinuity: The fandom's overall reaction to the game's third edition, also known as V3, which shifted the game more towards PostCyberPunk with a focus turned away from gritty future noir to post-apocalyptic transhumanism. Additionally, due to financial difficulties, Creator/RTalsorian was unable to afford to commission new art, and ended up resorting to Photoshopped images of costumed action figures customized by Mike Pondsmith's wife, which did ''not'' go over well with the fanbase (for this reason, V3 is often derisively referred to by fans of previous editions as "Barbiepunk"). With the release video game adaptation, ''VideoGame/{{Cyberpunk 2077}}'', as well as the fourth edition, ''Cyberpunk Red'', picking up where ''2020'' left off, ''V3'' appears to be on the verge of becoming CanonDiscontinuity.

** In the game's background lore, the United States effectively ceased to be following a coup in which a group of prominent members of the American Government, military and intelligence community, later dubbed the "Gang of Four", dragged the United States into a costly war in Central America, in something of a parallel to the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan, which eventually caused such massive social and economic upheaval that several states seceded from the Union. Meanwhile, the Soviet Union remains solvent and a major world power. Years after this was written, the Soviet Union would effectively end in 1991 following [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1991_Soviet_coup_d%27%C3%A9tat_attempt an attempted coup d'état]] by several high-ranking members of the Soviet Communist Party, which left the United States as the sole global superpower. The eight men responsible for the coup would later be dubbed the [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/State_Committee_on_the_State_of_Emergency "Gang of Eight"]] in the American press.

* HilariousInHindsight: The historical Gang of Four that caused the degradation of the American Union in the early 1990's was led by the Vice President. As the original story was penned in the 1980's, it was easy to imagine an EvilChancellor setting out to plunder the nation's riches. With the benefit of hindsight, it's kind of hard to imagine the nation being undone by a guy whose most memorable act in office was [[UsefulNotes/DanQuayle misspelling the word "potato."]]

* UnfortunateImplications: The description of Nomads' views on pre-Collapse America in the ''Neo-Tribes'' sourcebook did ''not'' age well. What read in context in the early 90s as a bitter analysis of society's decay from the perspective of people struggling just to survive in the aftermath reads today like the kind of right-wing screed against marginalized groups one might find on social media. The fact that several far-right internet personalities have started deliberately misrepresenting this as the literal cause of the Collapse in the game's universe since it's recent pop-cultural rediscovery certainly hasn't helped matters.
--> '''Neo Tribes; Page 7, Diversity and Unity''': It is now accepted among historical scholars that in the decades before the Collapse, America suffered from the sickness of racism and “cultural identity.” Everyone wanted to be seen as special. Every group had to be “equal” to or preferably better than its neighbors, and fought to protect its “special” rights. If anyone had something that someone else wanted, they were painted as racist, sexist, elitist, or worse. This divisive “me first” attitude eventually tore the fabric of American culture apart and caused it to self-destruct in a fireball of competing ideologies, none of which truly recognized each other’s validity. Diversity led inexorably to anarchy.

* FanonDiscontinuity: The fandom's overall reaction to the game's third edition, also known as V3, which shifted the game more towards PostCyberPunk with a focus turned away from gritty future noir to transhumanism. Additionally, due to financial difficulties, R. Talsorian was unable to afford to commission new art, and ended up resorting to Photoshopped images of costumed action figures customized by Mike Pondsmith's wife, which did ''not'' go over well with the fanbase (for this reason, V3 is often derisively referred to by fans of previous editions as "Barbiepunk").
