You could say that Cyberpunk 2077 hasn't had the easiest of rides. Perhaps after the years of hyperbole that was deserved, but what can't be denied is that CD Projekt Red re-trenched after the initial reception, stuck by the game, and has delivered consistent improvements that all led up to this year's major 2.0 update. That was supposed to be the end of it but a few days ago, surprise surprise, patch 2.1 popped up with even more improvements: and a little bit of meme history.
Cyberpunk 2077's big celebrity role is occupied by Keanu Reeves, who plays Johnny Silverhand. Reeves is of course a Hollywood star who's been in the public eye for decades, and he's also unusually beloved by the internet at large for his quirky and slightly broody personality (as well as the fact he's hot). Who knows what the guy's like in real life but this perception of him has been created through various moments, and perhaps the most internet-famous of them all is Sad Keanu.
