Great, so we can cross off brazen public corpo-assassinations on the cyberpunk hellscape bingo card, eh?

Is it good or bad that we don’t have the cyborg stuff?

[–] [email protected] 8 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago)

The Cyborg stuff is cool, but unfortunately we have subscription models, anti-repairability DRM, unblockable ads, and "we'll fix it with the DLC" software model, and for-profit health care well established before those become a reality

You can then literally charge people an arm and a leg
