It has officially been a year since one of the most notoriously expensive video games to produce hit shelves and disappointed fans with its broken functionality everywhere. I am talking, of course, about Cyberpunk 2077.

Cyberpunk takes place in Night City, a fictionalized cyber dystopia in the future of the United States, and was advertised with so much hype it was destined to fail when it came out.


But in one area it certainly did please fans.

That area?

Having sex with a Keanu Reeves avatar in-game. And you know who is absolutely thrilled about that?

Keanu Reeves.




The modding of the game to switch Reeves' avatar with one of the in-game sex-workers became so widespread and popular it was forced to an end by developer CD Projekt due to legal concerns.

"When making fan content, creators have to make sure they've got permission from all the concerned parties (which might be people other than CD Projekt Red)" they said, in an explanation last January as to why they removed the mod.

"For the characters we've invented for the game, we broadly permit you to tweak the game at will and just have fun."
"When it comes to models of real people whom we've asked to participate in the game, we kindly ask you to refrain from using them in any situation that might be found offensive if you don't have their explicit permission."




Though Reeves may not have direct influence over whether players can continue modding him into the game to have sex, he certainly made a compelling case for it.

“Think of how much money is in porn, right? So you could not even have to be there and people could have digital sex with your digital avatar."
“What’s it called right now, For Members Only? [OnlyFans]… You could do a whole thing. Oh my god, then you get the suit that’s probably made in Sweden or some German thing, then you’ve got the VR thing."
"Then they’ve got the data on you with your arousal metrics…”





Meanwhile, in the year that has passed, Cyberpunk 2077 has definitely fixed some of its broken functionality, but is under scrutiny for several social faux pas—including transphobia.

And if Reeves' version of a digital-avatar-sex industry does come about, it seems unlikely Cyberpunk 2077 will be its genesis.

Dr. Oz Slammed After His 'Credit Card' Health Care Analogy Goes Completely Off The Rails

Snake oil salesman Dr. Mehmet Oz—now the administrator for the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services—was criticized after he tried to discuss U.S. health insurance providers' pledge to speed up the prior authorization process by oddly comparing it to a "credit card," underscoring just how much he doesn't understand the job he currently holds.

Earlier this week, major U.S. health insurers—including Cigna, Aetna, Humana, and UnitedHealthcare—announced a set of reforms aimed at simplifying the often frustrating prior authorization process for patients and providers.

Ossoff pressed Russell Vought on the administration’s decision to cut the agency’s budget by nearly half and on the loss of roughly 25% of its workforce.

Jasmine Crockett Calls Out Trump's Hypocrisy By Pointing Out How Melania Got Her Visa

Texas Democratic Representative Jasmine Crockett pointed out President Donald Trump's hypocrisy on immigration considering how First Lady Melania Trump's pathway to citizenship was possible because she received an "Einstein visa," which is usually reserved for an individual with "some sort of significant achievement."

Speaking during a House Judiciary Committee hearing titled “Restoring Integrity and Security to the Visa Process,” Crockett noted that “the idea that Trump and my Republican colleagues want to restore integrity and security in the visa process is actually a joke," and harshly criticized the Trump administration's immigration crackdown and visa restrictions.

Fox Host Comes To Reporter's Defense After Pete Hegseth Berates Her At Pentagon Briefing

Fox News' chief political analyst Brit Hume came to the defense of Fox national security reporter Jennifer Griffin after their former colleague, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, criticized Griffin as the reporter "who misrepresents the most intentionally what the president says” in a Pentagon news conference.

Hegseth, a former Fox News anchor, had criticized media outlets—including his former network—for what he described as unpatriotic reporting. Hegseth took particular aim at early intelligence assessments suggesting that President Donald Trump's bombing of Iran may not have significantly crippled Iran’s nuclear capabilities.
