So the above Frame would cost all of 192000¥ before the cost of the
programmes that get loaded into it?!? Thats almost as much as a
Novatech
Slimcase deck! Hell, thats more than a house!!
Not only more than a house but 92000¥ more than one month of Luxury living.
Who is going to pay that much for a program when they can live in luxury? I
have always lowered the cost for programs and most computer equipment buy
allot. Deckers are the poorest type of characters there are. A street
Samurai can get get Delta move by Wire and some really nice custom guns
before a Decker could get a deck and programs to be equivalent to the Sam in
the Matrix.
I am not sure how much Matrix and VR2.0 are different, I just picked up
Matrix, but in VR2.0 I think I lowered almost all price by 10% and my
players deckers where still begging for money while my Street Sams and Mages
had left overs.
