This is night city, the futuristic metropolis which is home to most of the action taking place in cyberpunk 2077, which has quickly become the most popular PC benchmarking software in 2020.
There are a few reasons I wanted to explore the economy of this fictional world, for starters I gotta cash in on a subject that’s at the top of Google Trends, It’s been a while since I have done a virtual economy, I need a way to class my new gaming PC as a business expense and of course it actually genuinely very interesting.
Part of the appeal of this game was the way it wove an alternative reality in with themes and events that are taking place in our modern world to build an economy that both feels abstract but also entirely possible.
That virtual economy then builds the framework of an immersive world that is equally realistic and fanciful.
The world of cyberpunk 2077 is a cautionary dystopian tale that takes modern economic issues, like wealth inequality, corporate influence, white-collar corruption, militarisation, black market dealings and environmental degradation, and then turns those headlines up to to a whole new level to let people experience making their way through a world where these problems go unchecked.
It also goes without saying that this game has made headlines for a host of technical issues that have perhaps continued the theme of shining a light on economic problems in the real world.
So the economics of cyberpunk 2077 is a great case study for lots of weird and wonderful economic happenings.
How did the economy of this virtual world get to where it is in the year 2077.
What are the key components of Night City’s economy?
And a bit of a tangent
What business decisions led to the chaos surrounding the game’s launch.
Oh and cyberpunk 2077 technically takes part in an independent city-state so you know what the hey, may as well throw it on the economics explained national leaderboard.
Oh but first A little disclaimer, this video will not have any spoilers relevant to the plot, so don’t worry for all of you that haven’t been able to play the game yet (which is basically everybody).

This was the best part:
No spoilers for those who didn't play, which is basically everybody
Perú also has a similar mixed currency system to Argentina using the Peruvian Sol for daily stuff and USD for large transactions
One of the most perplexing things is how short the main campaign is and how shallow the overall world is relative to the 8 year timeline. It seems like there were A LOT of inefficiencies and reworking done during the development process, such as changing the entire storyline to allow for Silverhand to be the epicenter of the main story (which seems to have happened since he was brought on in 2018).

Who else looked for ATO and found out it means exactly what you thought it meant?
Despite all the bugs and glitches the lore and theme and storyline has me hooked.
There's no way average people in NC are spending only a third or less of their income on rent. You don't even have that in modern day LA.
900 eurobucks a months for Nightcity executive suites?
I pay more than that now for a lousy apartment!
Try looking at the game Victoria II
God bless you all!! 😇 Standing up for truth is most important!! This is predictive program (the "Gang of 4" is what their planning to do without President Donald Trump)
Jesus loves you all so very much.
You ARE so special to Him. 🙂
Try your best, and God will do the rest. 🤗
Time is short, but Jesus will always LOVE YOU.
You are so very special to Him. Please return to Him while there is still daylight. The Bibles will be taken from every home in January 2021, so please study and read up while 2020 still exists.
Jesus LOVES you so much, you guys. He would wish it very much for you to come back to Him. There is never a moment in the day, that He does not think of you.
Everything you need, He provides for you with such care and precision because He created you as His beloved child. 🤗
If you even want to draw closer to Him, a very great place to start is the YouTube channel "Liebesbriefe von Jesus/Love letters from Jesus to sister Claire"
They have excellent and loving videos in English and Germans, as well as excellent translations in dozens of other widely-spoken languages.
God bless you!
Have a wonderful day! 🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂https://youtu.be/qp4BiFXthYs

Corporations ruling the world and managing the power in the absence of the state? I thought this is what libertarians want with their fancy idea of the anarchocapitalism
I can’t believe my favorite economic youtube channel made this video! Yey! Its like christmas!
you said 5.6 but wrote 7.2….
Dude! Spoilers!
I wonder when this will become a movie
I’d love to see an EE of Libya under Gaddafi, seems like a very interesting era to explore with his controversial laws on home ownership, businesses and banks eg. + his socialist policies. Would also be interesting to cover his plan for a gold African reserve currency
Wrong on source material. Cyberpunk started off as a pen & paper RPG, not a board game.
Playing it back in 1994 really prepared me for the here & now. Kinda scared that so much of it came true & how much is obviously on its way, seeing we’ve had 30+ years of warnings.
Fun fact if you buy enterprise hardware to game on it's a way more common business expense. Also 800k subs… AMD & Nvidia reps.. 3..2.1 E-mail!
Economics of GTA V?
5.6 out of 10, or 7.2?
Silly bunt. Cyberpunk 2020 runs perfectly on PC.
Waiting for a video on Argentina. 🙂
Age of Megacorporations. #FANG
When you are an economist but also a gaming enthusiast
I need you to do the economy of Narnia.
You had to have been around for the nineties, but the zeitgeist of Night City and Cyberpunk lore harkens back to the feel of late eighties/early nineties New York and LA much more than today's attitudes. Important to note, as well, that the collapse of the USA is a major factor in Cyberpunk world politics, but not the only one. Another is that the EU isn't really a thing (Sweden is reported to be opening fire on Dutch and Belgian refugees xD), the US successor state is effectively a concern of Militech, which seems to be a consolidation of the pre-collapse US military industrial complex, Japan is a superpower controlled by technological concern Arasaka, and the USSR persists, although they seem to have lost protagonism. Note the relatively subdued role for China, and the immense role for Japan. This is clearly a late-eighties fantasy of American decline. 😉
Man we're screwed. Phew! I just saw the title. Good thing it's cyberpunk 2077 and not US in 2077. I'm sure happy mega corps don't collect my information and control the internet.
What's the size of your cyberjunk though?? ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
so did you actually buy a RTX 3090?
"I need a way to class my new gaming pc as a business expense"
nice
Cool beans, Night City a 5.6 and you said it was 5.6 but graph shows 7.2 under France.
“Hong Kong is grounded by reality”
Do you mean grounded by the CCP ;P
Ancap Wet Dream, just gotta nuke the pesky mayor and MAX profit!
I have no doubt that night city is the highest of highs and the lowest of lows, you either make it, or breakt it.
"this is more buisness than economics of course"
you mean that this is micro economics rather than macro economics, right?
This channel just gets better and better. Thank you for your videos!
Many are gonna regret for not investing in Bitcoin. It's not late too. Bitcoin is the most lucrative and imperative business I've ever seen, I call it "The future"
Nitpick of the day: Cyberpunk 2020 isn't a board game, it's a tabletop role-playing game. Also, Cyberpunk 2020 was the second edition, the first was published in 1988 as just "Cyberpunk"
