The whole point is that the mass produced garbage produced by the corporation is taken and improved by the geniuses and people who know the workarounds by those in the know. Otherwise, you wouldn't have the corporations hiring mercenaries rather than using their own people who are by and large inferior to the Edgerunners who can command larger fees as well as do better as independent agents.The Corporations are at the mercy of each other and their own constant wars after all. Its very much a DIY setting.At least that's my interpretation. It has an idealized view of the criminal underworld versus the man.</blockquote>
