If you say so...personally, nothing would drive me crazier faster. I've
been role-playing for 25 years, and the worlds that I've enjoyed the most
(Marvel Super Heroes, DC Heroes, Star Trek, and Shadowrun) have been
dynamic, ever-changing worlds that grew and evolved outside of what I was
doing. I didn't always observe stated continuity in any of them, but I
preferred worlds that changed.

If you want a static universe, there's a lot of other games out there that
lend themselves to that. You might consider one of those, since you don't
seem to like the way things are happening and evolving in Shadowrun.
