We are getting closer to corporatocracy

56 Upvotes

Last information about current war aggressors presenting cutting deep sea/ocean internet lines as an option putting us closer to corporations taking over. Politics from a long time are just theatre- there is nothing specific done or improved, people just arguing and trying to destroy themselves. Most of politicians are incompetent anyway so there is only a mater of time when people will see corporative entities as lesser evil. My guess it will start from a country somewhere in Africa because there is a lot of vulnerable countries a big corporation would have resources to take control of without anybody care enough to react.

Edit
I'am surprised how many people in this group are trying to bend meaning what I was writing about. By corporatism I mean political parties would disappear (completely) lobbyists will work other way around (people employed to present interests of population to corporations) and ruling over country will be divided between corporations (openly).
Musk may have a power, but it is not an official power or any governing position.

In the year 2989 corporations run the world, most people live in large slum complexes and work in giant factories, creating weapons designed for corporate takeovers through inter-corporation warfare and producing parts necessary for interplanetary space travel for cultish corporate elites.

In recent decades the landscape of corporate warfare has begun to transition from attrition style sieges to surgical strikes from highly advanced weapon platforms “Apostles” piloted by security specialists loyal to their corporate overlords. Due to damaged Apostles being recovered by third parties, mercenaries and pirates piloting these advanced machines have begun to emerge. These individuals have proved useful as anonymous attack forces, and some corporate groups have begun to implement their use.

A mysterious sickness has begun to spread amongst the populace and our protagonist’s family has been affected. After trying their best to look into this sickness with their limited resources, the protagonist is framed for a terrorist attack that they assume is someone responsible for this outbreak trying to cover it up and is marked for “asset removal”. Now on the run, the protagonist takes a damaged Apostle they had hidden away for black market sale and leaves their old life behind to begin working as an un-named mercenary to survive. Although this situation seems bleak it might just be the cover the protagonist needs to finally figure out exactly how deep the conspiracy surrounding this sickness goes… 

After doing enough jobs to earn some money and a reputation, an anonymous client who seems to know about the protagonist's past reaches out. This shady client offers up a job that might help them achieve their goal of uncovering the truth behind the sickness. The job entails travelling to a Martian dig site where the protagonist uncovers a vast underground cavern full of corporate laboratories that seems to be a developmental facility for new Apostle technology using never before seen biological material. Upon further exploration they find what seems to be an enormous tomb-like structure housing a giant otherworldly corpse, surrounded by bodies of dig site and lab workers with the same symptoms as that of the sickness.

Eventually the protagonist must choose to either take higher paying jobs from the corporations to fund a cure for this sickness leaving the corporations to continue ruling, or stand up against the corporations for a small chance to end the cycle of control but lose their chance to save those affected by the sickness.

I used around 7 references for this drawing, I really liked how it turned out. I’m so oblivious to rules but I think I read them well enough that this breaks none of them 😬😬

I love this spotlight effect over a photo you can do in Premiere. The 🟣🔴🟠's can give the impression of neon billboards and cars passing behind the traditional Japanese window. That's a picture I took of Shibuya station a couple years back, the rain is stock. Man, I miss Tokyo.

If you're interested in checking out my game it's a hacking adventure sim that takes place in a kids bedroom in Shibuya. It's proto cyberpunk or retro cyberpunk, basically an alternate timeline the world had to be in order to become cyberpunk eventually.

do the necrons from 40k count as "cyberpunk" or are they just silly robotic lads

0 Upvotes

title says it all but to those who dont know what the necron (or necrontyr technically) are a 60 million year old race that accidently soled there souls to a bunch of "stupidly powerful aliens called the c'tan and now inhabit undying unfeeling robotic bodys and after getting revenge against the c'tan and winning a slightly important war called THE WAR IN HEAVEN they went for a quick power nap and have awoken to a bunch of lesser creatures living in there floor boards (aka space) and are now are on the war path to deleting said lesser creatures (if you wanna know more go look at some vids)

long story short do the necrons count as "cyberpunk" like the admech from 40k or are the necrons from a different genre all together
