>Yes they absolutely are. They even put references of it into them.
Either this is mind bogglingly stupid ("one thing one time reference Blade Runner, therefore all uses of cyberpunk specifically reference Blade Runner") or you think when I said cyberpunk I meant Cyberpunk 2077 (which is also stupid, but not mind bogglingly so).

Which again doesn't establish anything relevant. And can't.

It's a shame you can't read or deploy logic or spell.

I referenced it because it was one of the largest video game releases in history and is heavily inspired by Blade Runner. So much so it includes several direct references to it. You can read about the origins of the IP here.
The rest of the Cyberpunk genre is of course also heavily influenced by Blade Runner. Clearly not niche or some "ghetto of science fiction". It's influence goes far beyond just that sub-genre as I already pointed out.

I've provided ample evidence that flies in the face of your claims. At this point you're either actually this stupid or a troll. In which case it's pointless to consider further conversation.
If you aren't a troll, you'd do well to just admit when you're wrong.
