Read that paragraph:
"I", "me", "I", "I", "me"... and so on.
Wrong, chummer.
As long as you didn't really get it on a personal level ("They always attack
MY projects, why don't these *** attack the projects of Mr. Hubba from next
office?") There is no "I" or "me" in a Corp. It is: "Would
the corp benefit?",
more to "How can the corp get cash from this?".

You talk about revenge, most of the other talk about making cash. We have
different opinions if a Shadowrunner could be in it for other reasons then
the holly nuyen, but on the only point where we could agree, you back down.
So, to have it translated, "Shadowrunners are just after money, Corps have
a sense of honor that forces them to take revenge."
Yeah, sure.
