Cyberpunk 2077 and epilepsy
Flashing scenes in the game can trigger an epileptic seizure. What will the publisher do?
Cyberpunk 2077 was one of the more highly anticipated games of this elt, and the first impressions show that rightfully so. But the first tests also showed some "black dots". One of them is also a considerable number of flashing se scenes (say strobe lights), which could trigger an epileptic seizure in users.
It's been known for a long time that flashing can trigger attacks, but does that mean games shouldn't contain such scenes? Of course not, but they must contain a sufficiently clear and clearly visible message to warn people who have such problems. And Cyberpunk 2077 apparently doesn't have it, or it only has them in the license agreement (EULA), which no one reads anyway.
CD Projekt Red was quick to respond to the warnings, announcing on Twitter that their developers are already working on rolling out a fix "as soon as possible."
Thank you for bringing this up. We're working on adding a separate warning in the game, aside from the one that exists in the EULA (https://t.co/eXpPn73VSK). Regarding a more permanent solution, the Dev team is currently exploring that and will be implementing it as soon as possible. https://t.co/lXFypnSit2
