        Imagine if they pitch it as Cyberpunk 2, complete with huge tech trees and stuff, so you start homeless thinking that you’ll grind your way up to a body modded god like the first one, but the actual realities and difficulties of being homeless mean that it’s impossible to ever crawl your way out, and at the end you realize that the only win condition you can hope for isn’t progression, but just survival. Now there would be a bleak artistic statement on capitalism, that would be hated by every player and make none of its money back.
