Plus the same: the DMNPCs are behind everything and they are far more leet than you will ever be. Okay, that's not AS bad as 3rd Corporate War got, but with the exception of Bartmoss (who is the poster child for Pyschaotic Neutral and in no way a good guy) and Blackhand (who is tolerable because he kept his mouth shut) the DMNPCs are annoying self-righteous hippy wastes of space.I always got the impression that CP2020 was suppossed to be about leading the struggle against the Evil corps and you were suppossed to play Medias and Rockers. In fact hardly anyone did, because Rockers, at least, sucked.However most players played amoral street mercenaries of various types and were mostly interested in finding out which corp would give them the most cyberware for selling out before going on their "Extraction of the Week (TM)" followed by the "Totally Unexpected Doublecross (TM)".In this way I view CyberGen as Maxmium Mike atoning for products like the Chrome Books, Max Metal and Blackhands by basically coming out and saying "No, you WILL fight the man, wheather you like it or not."</blockquote>
