    To be honest, my claim was a bit hyperbolic, because essentially Cyberpunk as a genre is anti-capitalist, just CDPR doesn’t really want it to be.

    It boils down to how you want to view this game and art in general, with the original intent of developers or without it, making assumptions based on the contents of the story. And I rarely can choose the latter.

    The whole game tries to tell you that corporations are the main (and only) issue, Johnny Silverhand literally says: “I’ve declared war not because capitalism’s thorn in my side…”, implying that it’s not capitalism that he has problems with, but Corpos who: “Have long controlled our lives…”

    But I don’t view anti-corporatism as a synonym to anti-capitalism, and neither does CDPR. That’s why they chose to paint a Marxist ideology as complete nonsense of some ai bot fortune teller (I’m talking about Bartmoss collective) and that’s why there’s not a word from Johnny criticising the system that let corporations become as powerful as they are today.

    I really hated the fact that there was no option to actually oppose those “people” from the government in a meaningful way, not just help another character.

    What the fuck, we have an actual terrorist in our head that would lovely kill every single one of these fuckers if he had the chance, but we CAN’T??? And when we actually abandon them, it’s a mission fail and the whole DLC is inaccessible… Great

    Fallout New Vegas lets you kill anyone you meet and story ACCOUNTS FOR IT. But in 2023 there’s not even a hint of that in a game that calls itself RPG.

    CDPR really doesn’t want you killing bastards who actually are responsible for the horrible fucking state, not only of NC, but the entire country. Not even a hint of responsibility from their end, it’s just corporations.
