I was about to laugh about 2020 being cyberpunk, but come to think about it 2020 was the most cyberpunk year so far with everyone stuck inside doing everything on the internet.
My first memory of programming was typing in a BASIC program for hours with my older cousin into his VIC-20 from a magazine where the last, like, ten pages were nothing but hexadecimal numbers. Ended up being a Robotron clone. We played it for a while then turned off the computer and it was gone.
I loved making maps for Q3. I made so many of them, some even got rotation on some servers. The simplicity was perfect for someone like me, just brushes and shaders. When UT2K4 came out I decided to try to make maps for that, but everything was intricate 3D models, which i couldn't do, so I gave up and went back to Q3.
I even made some maps for Q1, but I think I spent most of my time trying to make mods. My favorite was an inferno gun from Battletech: Crescent Hawk's Inception, which used the rocket launcher to shoot a fireball that would stick to the target and do big damage in ticks.
Well, they used to have 700 customers.
They added those at my work and they are terrible. A picture of the company CEO standing in front of a screen with the text on it announcing a major milestone? "man in front of a screen" Could get more information from the image filename.
Where's the part where they have people play with the game engine? Isn't that what they supposedly are running, a game engine? Sounds like what they really managed to do was recreate the video of someone playing Doom which is yawn.

And by costlier he means power consumption. Ten thousand times more powerful! Still can't do basic math without handing it off to a calculator.
