Published on By Epilepsy Action has called for urgent updates to Cyberpunk 2077 after a Game Informer reviewer had a seizure from a section “designed to trigger” an episode. The UK based Epilepsy charity (epilepsy.org.uk) has sent out a press release urging updates to Cyberpunk 2077 after reviewer for Game Informer Liana Ruppert reported in a PSA that she had a grand mal seizure triggered when playing. I did have a bad seizure while playing this game but look, I get it. I’m stubborn, I’ll push myself for something if the desire is high enough (don’t be like me). If you have any sort of epilepsy leanings, here is what you need to know about Cyberpunk 2077. Be safe, friends ???? https://t.co/ozAGV48hVC Liana Ruppert (@DirtyEffinHippy) December 7,2020 Ruppert’s seizure was, disturbingly, triggered by a main story section involving a “braindance”, which she suggests actually appears to be modelled on an actual device neurologists use in real life to trigger seizures for diagnosis purposes. In her PSA she goes on to highlight many more examples of potential triggers and how you can avoid them if you too are vulnerable.
