Liana Ruppert is an American video game journalist known for her enthusiasm for games developed by Canadian studio BioWare. Formerly working as Director of Editorial at Greenlit Content, and Managing Editor at Comicbook.com, following the company's 2019 transition from print publishing to digital guides and online news. As of September 2020, Ruppert is currently an Associate Editor for Game Informer.
While reviewing the 2020 video game Cyberpunk 2077, Ruppert, who has photosensitive epilepsy, experienced a grand mal seizure upon viewing one of the game's " sequences. The scene, which contained red and white flashing lights, was stated as resembling intermittent photic stimulation, a technique used by neurologists to intentionally trigger seizures. Cyberpunk 2077 developer CD Projekt Red subsequently reached out to Ruppert and carried out plans to significantly alter the potentially hazardous sequence.
