Honestly, after wading through a couple comment sections at political sites, KF is downright friendly. It's like a slightly-rough bar but the bouncers are making it clear there will be no fistfights, no chair-smashes, and no sex in the bathroom.You're allowed to disagree with me. This isn't resetera. I won't tattle to the mods because you hurt my fee-fees.
I believe it's implied that she played them both to get what she needed: money and a ticket to Chiba so she can get those Zeiss Ikon eye implants like all the hot celebrities in the Sprawl universe have. In this case, cybernetic implants are coveted. But only if you have the money for the good ones.
Which also ties into a scene in Count Zero. Turns out if you work for the Big Media Company and you die they send out a mid-level manager to gouge your eye implants out of your head. Because they're technically owned by the company. No different from turning in your company laptop when you quit.
Yea you're rich and famous and get to fly around the world shooting the equivalent of a VR reality show, but you're still beholden to the machine. Even after death.
But yeah, you're absolutely right on that score. Kind of depressing. I really hope they add some tales like that in CP2077, though.
