believe that I'm doing this post but:
X = Shadowrun
Y = Fantasy Elements (Magic, Dragons, Trolls, etc.)
Z = Cyberpunk Elements (Cyberware, Gritty Future)
A = Realism
A+Y+Z=X
A+Z=/=X
Or, to put it in ecological terms, if you take an environment and take
away all the caterpillars, you can't come back in a year and have the same
environment minus caterpillars. Everything would have to adapt to not
having its food source or what fed on it, and this would change the
environment. Would it be really similar? Most likely. Would it be the
same? No.
