When CD Projekt RED delayed Cyberpunk 2077, the biggest regret fans had was taking time off from work prematurely to play the game. However, no one thought that there might be someone who would never get a chance to play the game due to the delay.
A day ago, Reddit user u/Mixitman posted a photo of his son on the Cyberpunk subreddit. He captioned the post,
“My Johnny will not be playing Cyberpunk 2077. We will have to do it for him. He would have gone as a caring Street kid just trying to make a better world. Here’s my fantastic son and girlfriend. He had just asked her dad permission to get married earlier this week. RIP Johnny.”

The post caught the attention of a lot of fans who felt sorry about this incident. However, they felt that CDPR in some way or the other might immortalize Johnny in the game as a tribute to him. On their part, fans have already started paying their tributes.
