More on Epilepsy and Cyberpunk 2077 [Dec 08, 2020, 11:59 am ET] – Share – Viewing Comments
Rock Paper Shotgun has a follow-up to the
report that Cyberpunk 2077 has portions that could trigger seizures in
epileptics. They have a statement from charity Epilepsy Action:
“We are alarmed and saddened that a game reviewer had a seizure triggered by Cyberpunk 2077, before it was even launched,” said Louise Cousins, Epilepsy Action’s director of external affairs. “The game features rapidly blinking lights and other animations that could cause seizures in people with photosensitive epilepsy. These features are unsafe and should have been avoided to make the game more accessible. With huge demand and excitement building for its release, it may pose a serious risk to people with photosensitive epilepsy. The developers CD Projekt RED should consider how they can update the game to make it safer. A disclaimer warning at the beginning isn’t enough.”

I'm baffled by this.
So am I, this is not something that just randomly occurs to people. You know if you have some kind of ailment that causes Epilepsy. This person had to have known they were susceptible to it.
