I havent been able to find an answer in the rules on whether you can buy pirated software at 10% normal price from the cracker underground at character generation. It seems like it would make quite a difference for hacker characters [would also make skillwires a lot more fun, btw] Anyone knows? |

No, I wouldn't allow pirated software and chargen for much the same reason I wouldn't allow a player to use the black market price modifiers found in the BBB.
For one there is the balance issue. But stuff at chargen is considered "clean." Part of the deal with the other stuff is that there are risks and history involved that can make up for the reduced price. |
