Of course he's lying. In one of the conversations with him he admits that Arasaka was messing with his head while he was trapped in their servers. My personal take is that this engram is a Silverhand built up by Arasaka to be an over-the-top, cartoonish nemesis of theirs nobody takes seriously so they can defuse any potential opposition by associating them with this nuke-happy terrorist who rants out generic bullshit slogans instead of the actual charismatic, empathic Silverhand. IMO Yorinobu was planning on selling it to NetWatch as proof of Arasaka's crimes under the guise of selling them the functioning Relic 2.0 chip, because of course they wouldn't believe him if he was telling the truth, and it gets him a golden parachute out of Arasaka so he can laugh as his father's legacy burns down to the ground.
Yeah, the AI formerly known as Alt, but she's not reliable either for obvious reasons.
Yes, because Arasaka would openly admit to something like that over drinks in a VIP club to someone who is, for all intents and purposes, a well-meaning nobody? Assuming of course the salesperson even knew Arasaka had that capability.
Never Fade Away (the story) is pretty explicit on all that.
I mean why wouldn't a megacorp put that as a selling point if they could do it? heck they managed to market the program as a positive instead of them looking like they are playing god, so I don't see a point as to why they would hide it.
And then it gets public and someone other than Johnny gets the bright idea to burn down Arasaka out of paranoia... or Militech uses it as propaganda for the next corporate war. "Look at Arasaka! They're not just stealing souls, they're twisting them!" The idea that someone can be permanently re-wired and re-written like that would probably be the one thing to get people to actually rise up in Cyberpunk.
It also defeats the purpose of using it to preserve a person after their physical body dies. If someone can just come along and manipulate enneagram after the fact, who would even want to use the tech in the first place?
Exactly! There's no guarantee Arasaka wouldn't use it on you out of sheer convenience to them. For someone trying to escape mortality submitting yourself to people who could rewire you into a corporate mascot is a pretty terrible idea.
Have you not seen all the inserts of youtubers and streamers?
Ah yes the flaming crotch man, a classic
the screaming idiot, crotch in flames retard and that blonde bimbo that had to backtrack her praise after the game got trashed post release

I was about to make a post about the same thing with this new update DLC. It seems CDPR hasn't learned their lesson that inserting some famous hollywood actor in the game isn't going to make it any more appealing. In the base game, Judy, Panam, and even Jackie are much better characters than the shoehorned in hollywood Keanu.Cyberpunk 2077: Phantom Liberty — Official Teaser #2
Introducing Idris Elba as Solomon Reed, an FIA Agent for the New United States of America. Team up and take on an impossible mission of espionage & survival....
Wanted to make fun of them calling this shit a "Gameplay Trailer" but it seems they changed their title to just "teaser". There's maybe 6 seconds of gameplay total and you don't really see much except like one new execution and what i'm guessing is the "car combat" which they were hyping up for the expansion.
Most notably they haven't learn their lesson from working with Keanu and hired Idris Elba to voice what seems to be a crucial character for the expansion. I really hate this fucking fad of having actors as themselves in games, or modeling characters after the voice actors.
