Cyberpunk was criticized for missing tā moko.
The inclusion of tā moko in the characters was labeled shocking.
Game producer Ian Ramsay said the way the tā moko were used in the game was an appropriation.
“Owning images is endemic in the industry and is not limited to Maori art,” he said.
He said that the inclusion of Maori cultural elements would be relevant if it was thematically related to the culture and universe of the game.
