So I just realized that by removing the term and technology of "the deck" from SR, Fanpro is not only removing a SR cultural stronghold but a tie to a big part of the Cyberpunk world. I know the CP references in SR have always existed on many levels, but I think the whole Matrix/Cyberspace connection was one of the biggest running a close race with Cyberware.

I know this topic has been beat to death, I just wanted to share my thoughts.
