"Funny, all the people who I know who've played it (on PC) love it, but they are fans of the genre and not Twitter complainers who whine because something wasn't exactly tailored for their wants," the user wrote.

Gibson, best known for his breakout novel, 1984's Neuromancer, explored how technology and cybernetics in the distant future could change humanity in his work. He was also known for inserting noir/mystery themes into high-tech stories, which led his characters to be 'punks' of sorts, searching for a way to disrupt a colossally corrupt system of technology.

He once wrote on his now archived blog, "In 1977, facing first-time parenthood and an absolute lack of enthusiasm for anything like 'career,' I found myself dusting off my twelve-year-old's interest in science fiction. Simultaneously, weird noises were being heard from New York and London. I took Punk to be the detonation of some slow-fused projectile buried deep in society's flank a decade earlier... And I began, then, to write."

Gibson wrote numerous books and short stories including Johnny Mnemonic, which inspired the 1995 sci-fi/action film of the same name, starring Keanu Reeves.

Cyberpunk 2077 launched in December with numerous glitches and concerns -- including gamers calling it Transphobic. CD Projekt Red co-CEO Adam Kiciński apologized for the game's rushed release, admitting it neglected to take development issues seriously.

Currently, law firms in the U.S. and Poland are circling CD Projekt, the parent company of CD Projekt Red, potentially filing a class-action lawsuit against the company for misleading shareholders and public investors on the game's capability.

In response to the potential lawsuit, CD Projekt released a report that disclosed the game's sales on Dec. 22, not including game sales that were refunded. Despite the controversial launch, the game has already sold over 13 million copies. The sales data was pulled from Dec. 10 through Dec. 20 and did include pre-sale numbers.

Developed by CD Projekt Red, Cyberpunk 2077 is available now on PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Google Stadia and PC.
