The one thing that perhaps sums it up equally is that not everyone wants to be
a corporate wage slave or wants to be a clock-puncher at a factory, in fact
some of them want a sense of danger in their lives, or even to be a do-gooder
of some sort, or they are just tired of buying everything and have decided
they want to steal everything they need to survive. Who knows the main
reasons why runners become runners in the first place, but the only fact is
that they did it anyway even despite the potential cut in pay.

I would have to say that I do this also, but those numbers I gave pretty much
show the price ranges I generally show give out for games.

Actually, some realism in the game is not all that bad, the only problem is
when realism becomes too great and it begins to bring down the believability
of the game itself.
