The result is a game that wears its...

During Steam's autumn sale, Cyberpunk 2077 climbed to third place on the platform's global revenue chart, ahead of Gears of War: E-Day, which came in at tenth right as it hit shelves on October 6. That's not nothing, but the "why" matters more than the ranking itself.
