Why do you think they didnt miss point?
Because I do not think this is meant literally, everytime. More like the scope of things.
It's rather that you can't beat corporations. Not even with a nuke. You can merely make your life better—but nothing is guaranteed. Even if you are good at it.
Six months. At the start, V has two weeks.
Obviously, that is not victory. Not even close to it. But it is not death. Nothing to turn your nose up at in that situation. Regardles whatnever DLC brings*, this is not death**. It is end of the game yes, but not Vs. Not yet.***
And even if it is Vs end.
I do not think that games are "wrong medium" for grim endings. Or Cyberpunk the wrong genre for tragedy.
Also, there are the other things mentioned makes the game Cyberpunk to me even if the 6 months were "miss".
*I actually hope DLC won't alter the endings. Not because the CP but because I think it's wrong thing to do.
** Yes I know—unless you choose so.
*** As mentioned, there are mentions of BioDynes nanites, the printing tech etc.
