One of my friends, who'll be playing in my upcoming shadowrun campaign, expressed the opinion that it would be more interesting/entertaining if the megacorps in my game where named after real corps from the present day, rather than just having bought those corps out. I'm not 100% sold on the idea, but I admit it might help me and my players remember which corp is which.
Thus, I ask the folks with more free time and shadowrun knowledge than myself, which SR Megas came from which present day corporations? |
