[SPOILER] Excuses for bad endings vs. lore

[KitsuragNaomi]

So, CDPR story writers use DNA altering as excuse for bad endings, but what official cyberpunk lore says about it?

With the video game you get a bunch of digital goodies, and the rulebook is among them. So:

Wow, interesting information. Did story writers ever read the lore?
It looks like by 2017, DNA manipulation is a commonly used technique, that for sure might be improved in following 60 years. And DNA-altering procedure have a specified price: 10000 eurodollars. So, that might be the price of the good ending. V goes to whoever can alter DNA, pays 10000 ed, and gets the sickness cured.

Let's make it even more simple. Know how Johnny's chip can alter V's DNA? How about Arasaka recreates that chip with V's psyche and they slot it into V's body. It was Arasaka, specifically Hellman who created that technology after all.

Yay! A happy alternative to the Devil Ending. V helps Arasaka, Arasaka makes a chip using the same technology they utilized to create Johnny's chip, they put V's psyche in the chip and V lives in their body. DNA and compatibility issues resolved. Then become a Night City Legend!

And contradictions like this are the reason the endings are a masterclass in bad writing.

This is absolutely not on the usual level of cdpr writing.

Sorry if I force with that, but if after all these clues, the game and the license do not go further...
