Anyone have any favorite subversive/leftist games? There used to be a great one about the apple supply line where you had to move the nets to catch the guys jumping out of the factory in china and throw the e waste in a dumpster fire in pakistan. Banned from the app store of course lmao.

      I think it's fine that you sometimes work with police in 2077, given your role as a solo, but what I hate is there's never any missions where you work against the police. A gang never hires you to, like, steal evidence or intimidate a detective. Ora mission where you have to steal something valuable from a precinct and have to blast through the NCPD on your way out.

      Silverhand is in V's head screaming about smashing the corps, smashing the system, but there's none of that punk ethos in the story. There's like two lines where Silverhand complains that edgerunners in 2077 have sold out to the corps, and in some endings you get to fuck over Arasaka, but that's it. I really liked the game for what it is, but the politics are disappointing.

        That's exactly my problem. There's a work-together option with fucking cops in a so called cyberpunk game but for some reason the gangs are all just differently texture mapped targets with varying stereotypes.

        And any actual revolutionary ideology is pushed with "going too far" ideological bullshit with Keanu Reeves.
