I like dystopian futures where computers don't exist anymore more interesting anyway.
I find them less interesting, because post-apocalyptic, fallout/mad max wastelands have been done to death in popular media.
I was more thinking of stuff like Dune or Warhammer 40k where computers were eventually outlawed due to problems with AI and such.

Part of the problem with making cyberpunk in current year ++++ is the need to interject SJW shit into it. Cyberpunk was always gritty and grimy and didn't need more dangerhairs or femicunts. It always had poors in it and plenty of suffering. There was no need to shove in pet social issues from muh current twitter hashtags. Good cyberpunk could theoretically be made today, but they'd have to avoid shoving all that fringe political bullshit into it. Cyberpunk is about what makes us human, not what makes us gay, trans, female, black etc.
My hype for Cyberpunk 2077 was killed the moment they started pandering to degenerates with the whole gender slider crap. Who knows what other crap they will throw into the game.

Cyberpunk is good when it's System Shock 2 levels of bleak. It's gay when cyberpunk is full of hipsters and not even that dark. Reminder that cyberpunk fiction is dystopian fiction with body horror elements. That's like, a definition of the genre, practically. Ever since Schismatrix and Neuromancer, it's been that way. The Schismatrix short story "Swarm" is practically a blueprint for System Shock 2's The Many.
Unfortunately, we're in Current Year. Cyberpunk these days is basically what steampunk has become, except everything has neon lights instead of pipes and gears.

ShadowRun 6e is similarly pozzed.

From what I managed to gather (not really into cybershit RPGs, especially not ones with trolls and fucking elves), Shadowrun has basically been poorly-edited cancer since 5e. Being pozzed would just be the golden turd on top of the shit pile.

4e has a 20th Anniversary re-release. Dunno how much of an improvement that one is, though.

I remember it broke Drain and the Object Resistance table. Don't think it fixed anything really.
