I don't think that the corp war existed from 2050 to 2057. I always understood
that corp war was when corps tried to destroy one another, while the situation
in those years, and in 2060, was corporate competition, where the corps jockeyed
to become number one. THAT's why the original game was made, and why
shadowrunners exist. They aren't around to bring down Fuchi, they are around to
steal personnel or materiel from Fuchi so Renraku can make a better deck than
Fuchi. That would boost sales and profits for Renraku, a far cry from ruining
Fuchi.
