    A city run by a corporation is the opposite of a “freedom city”

      If it’s in the name you know it’s the opposite like “Democratic People’s republic of Korea”

      It makes much more sense when you understand the differences between the Northern version of freedom vs. the Southern version of freedom. These asshats think of freedom as the freedom to rule over others.

      Yes, but it does follow republican naming convention. Right to work states are anything but, for example.

      It’s freedom from government regulations, many of which stem from the last time we let companies set up their own towns. What could possibly go wrong?

        Last time we got full scale shooting wars between workers and companies. If I’m putting on my optimist hat then I’d say at least we’ll get to shoot some rich folk.

          I doubt they’ll be on the front lines. It’ll just be the poor shooting at each other. The only real solution is Luigi, until they’re scared enough to negotiate in good faith.

            Oh for sure, but if it gets to the point where I need to fire my gun at somebody it’s definitely not going to be aimed at some low level corporate thug. That is, unless they’re standing between me and their boss.

        Honestly, the beauty of the game is the sheer irony of it all.

        And I kinda wish those neo-kitsch high fashion Kevlar-lined clothing was real, because some of the Corpo drip in Cyberpunk looks cool as fuck.

      Just look at SpaceX‘s town. Pure dystopia.
