What is Cyberpunk?
Cyberpunk is a science-fiction sub-genre dealing with the integration of society and technology in dystopian settings. Often referred to as “low-life and high tech,” Cyberpunk stories deal with outsiders (punks) who fight against the oppressors in society (usually mega corporations that control everything) via technological means (cyber). If the punks aren’t actively fighting against a megacorp, they’re still dealing with living in a world completely dependent on high technology.
Cyberpunk characteristics include:
- Dystopian city setting where mega-corporations rule
- Full integration of technology into society, featuring cybernetic implants
- Outsider protagonists (punks) who often are very familiar with the technology around them
- Hard boiled detective and film noir vibes and influence
- Themes dabbling in trans-humanism, existentialism, and what it means to be human.

Assuming floppy disks are a fluid because I'm too lazy to lookup how to do that math, you'd still be about 39 crates shy of the full collection.
Sad it's fake. First the Palworld dating sim, now Cyberpunk floppy edition. They could have made floppys with a txt doc that said "April fools!" or done one of those SD card floppy hacks. But nah, entirely fake.
I'll never forget that Sega made an actual, functional Sonic detective game for April fools. That was brilliant. I wish more companies would follow their example.
Edit: bonus points if one (un)lucky customer actually received Cyberpunk 2077 spread across roughly 50,000 floppy disks.
Satisfactory Switch edition with 7fps gameplay video is great too.
Landfall releases a new game each April 1st and the latest one is a funny Lethal Company clone. Wish more devs did stuff like this
That bit about "when a game install was an experience" or whatever the actual phrasing is, hit that nostalgia.
I remember when saved up enough from my paper route and rode to the store after school to pick up AoEII and got home and started the install on the computer I had built from spare parts. My pops got home while I was still on the first disc part of the install and sat and watched the install slides with me. When the first disc was finished and ejected, he ran to the main family pc to start the install there. I didn't play play until his install was also finished so we could both play on the LAN (with a single copy! Kids don't know!). We had just started the first game when my grandma hit me on AIM to say she was trying to call and to get off the internet.
Nostalgia like a motherfucker.
I think a yellow plastic disk with the logo on it could be a cool collector's item though.
Imagine being at the 97,618th floppy and it's the one that was degaussed by your mom who stuck it to the fridge with a magnet.
^^ here is someone who knows it wouldn't be #97619 because you insert that one first (or second) as PKZIP stores the metadata on the last disk.
