Some games resolved that issue by making it a rule that cyber-psychotic PCs become NPC villains, but this too was unsatisfying, especially as humanity loss was typically resolved with die rolls, and thus a player could not always predict when one more implant would end their lovingly-crafted character. In practice, this wasn't a good balancing mechanism to a true Munchkin, having your character become a drooling Ax-Crazy psychopath only made it easier to justify all that senseless carnage. In theory, then, humanity loss forced players to choose implants carefully rather than maxing out everything. This trope can be considered a form of Competitive Balance gone bad, as game designers originally used humanity loss to keep player cyborgs in line - without any drawbacks, any Munchkin worth his salt would load himself down with Kill-O-Matic 3000s slaved to his neural systems so he could kill with a thought while his brand new shiny titanium limbs ripped battleships in half. And if the cyborg was dead prior to the cybernetics being installed (and it is mentioned that the implants have side effects or won't work like the replaced parts), you have a variant of Came Back Wrong. Characters who are getting encased in a mobile life support coffin usually suffer this not from having parts replaced, but being put in large, scary and clumsy or destructive bodies. And that's without even touching on subtleties like how your intestinal flora affect your mind, or how extremely complex/high-performance cybernetic parts might simply demand more processing power than your brain can supply and eat away at your central nervous system that way. Replacing parts of your uniquely balanced glandular/hormonal system with pumps might not do your personality any favors, either. It does of course make a huge logical difference whether it is just limbs and other body parts being replaced, or if sections of the brain itself are being replaced with equipment which may perform inferiorly to, or merely differently from the original. It also becomes silly when Ridiculously Human Robots exist in the same setting and yet are depicted as more. This trope usually accompanies the broken lesson that only cyberware inflicts humanity loss - sure, getting that Arm Cannon will dehumanize you, but not deliberately committing actual atrocities, getting hooked on hard drugs, learning Black Magic, having a mental illness that is not fictional, or other expected sources of insanity. If these settings also feature Psychic Powers or Functional Magic, cyberware often reduces your ability to use those as well. Too many implants may reduce your character to catatonia or (far more often) Ax-Crazy on steroids.
In many popular cyberpunk Tabletop Games, cybernetic implants cause "humanity loss", reducing your social traits and essentially making cyberware into a form of Body Horror.
