Why did the Cyberpunk genre never really hit video games? In the 80s and 90s every sci-fi film, novel or media had cyberpunk elements.

Besides Dues Ex and Cyberpunk 2077 (and a few small indie games) its never really caught on in gaming. Why? It seems like it would be more popular for Noir style mystery games especially.

capitalism killed it. The genre was getting too much right about corporate control so capitalism had to bury it

The only corporations that fit the evil megacorporation trope are State owned ones.

There have been a lot of cyberpunk games over the decades, I have no idea what you are talking about OP. It is true that most of them are bad games, but in all fairness, even William Gibson doesn't like cyberpunk anymore so I understand why the setting is shit. Wasn't created to make any lasting impact on culture.
