While I was sitting on my balkony, having a good time, a question
arose in the back of my head: How do you all percieve the use of
brandnames in SR. It has always seemed to me, as if they didn't go as
far with it as they should have. I mean take a look at - say - a
Chromebook. You have the CYBERMATRIX Gang Jazzler (or whatever it's
called), in SR you have a Shock Hand. Does anyone else feel a certain
lack of texture here? How about different grades of chrome? OK, SR
has it's twisted greek letters, but it's not as if I buy cybereyes
and someone looks into my eyes and goes "Wow, shit chummer, Zeiss
IKON, you're a SimSense-Star, or what?"
Toughts?
