In Cyberpunk corpo execs are also murderers and thieves just on a much larger scale and with shinier guns than a street criminal.

Staggeringly white hot take.

Because, Oleg, murderers just kill you.
They don’t also turn it into a tax write-off, quarterly bonus, and then tell you it’s good for the economy.

If you sympathize with anyone in this game then you don’t get the point of it.

Whoosh!
agent-garland
def not paying attention. corpo and murderer come in a nice little joint package
ElHombreSmokin
Literally the first thing they sent you to do as Corpo V is killing somebody.

Ha, it seems like we’re playing different games

Corpos ARE murderers… On steroids and with influence to face 0 consequences.

My brother in Christ, let me tell you about the Sackler family.

Tell me you didnt pay attention to the themes of the game without telling me you didnt pay attention to the themes of the game.
Like thats often the whole basis of the “cyberpunk” genre. A dystopian world overrun withgoverment and corporate control but with shiney tech.

Corpos kill for power and control, and they’ll kill anyone without getting their own hands dirty just to maintain a clean public rep. That was what Corpo V was doing at the very beginning of the game trying to hire Jackie for a hit job request from their boss to neutralize his rival.

Guy who wishes he worked for Raytheon (or Boeing or Lockheed-Martin or Northrop-Grumman or GE or…) but is sad because he had to settle for Google.

Corpo – Status Quo
Gangers – Underdog
Punk – Underdogs fighting against the Status Quo.
Thus is Cyberpunk.
Does this clear things up?

Corpo execs are murderers too
They are just not the ones pulling the trigger

Why don’t people identify more with the bigger more powerful murderers and thieves? – Oleg

Missed the whole fucking point

You ever seen a Corpo boy screw over everyone all at once? Damned straight we should give praise to thieves!
IvyTheRanger
Because it’s night city and corporations are insanely corrupt and they literally fought a war against other corporations
Where as everyone else is just trying to survive

This ding dong literally just described the cyberpunk aesthetic/genre??
How blisteringly un self-aware can one dude be lmao

If media literacy was a class, this guy would get an F.

That’s why it’s called Cyber Punk, not Cyber Shill.

Pure artisanal, organically sourced, trolling.

“I like cyberpunk”
*proceeds to show how little they know about cyberpunk*
Why do we romanticize outlaws, which end up being thieves, murderers and thugs?
Frank_Gomez_
Same reason as why people related to Michael Douglas in Falling Down.
Governments/Execs/Corporations overworking and abusing the lower class to the point of breaking. Of course, no sane person would go out and bomb their fuckin work place because they hate their boss, but that’s a point we’re slowly but surely getting closer to everyday
