Even people without commlinks? Does that mean everyone gets a free commlink? Can mine be a fairlight? Can I sell it and get a replacement commlink for free so my sprite puppy doesn't die?

He will live inside your head, leaving only to fudge your grades and transfer money into your bank account. The puppy will look like it's fetching a roll of green newspaper, but it's really rolled-up sheets of $100 bills.
And why shouldn't people want a powergaming option? All the NPC's will get them, too. :D |

Some people like to work with what they've got instead of being given things for free. It's all about the level of challenge you want. Some people don't want any challenge at all. These are most comfortable in a world where players get powergame options and NPCs don't. Some want high powered challenges where everyone on the planet has power game options. Some like low level challenges where nobody has power game options.

Completely off track..... How common would virtual pets be in 2070.......... Or things like Furbys or those Keychain pet things that I can't remember the name of. |

As today - as long as it's new and trendy, most people will buy one, but after a time they will get bored and throw it away.

IN SSG they list the robotic pets and their stats. Lots of people look for companionship where ever they can get it.

Virtual pets can't collapse the electronic bureaucracy in your name.

Where does the puppy get the money from? This all smacks of thievery and/or counterfeiting, and I only do that when I have to....

Hey now, don't get too worried. Cats gotta pounce, mice gotta squeak, and free willed puppy sprites gotta rule the world. You can't fault him for his insticts. And besides, it's kinda cute.

The number of virtual pets available to Joe Q Public should be pretty staggering. They've got the nearly-perfect robotic pets from SSG, not to mention all sorts of games like Nintendogs and so on.
And also consider the possibility of AR/VR pets, complete with tactile sensation and click-and-drag mess cleaning. And in the seedy underworld of the AR Pet Universe, you can have yourself a virtual donkey show. |

Plus, you can have hybrid pets - no, not the gene-art pets from SotA, but living pooping pets with nanoflea trodes and collar commlinks who are always with you in RL, AR, and VR. The house cleanbot deals with the mess. Add a simrig and you've got a whole new type of watchdog.

No, it's more him fetching the morning paper, except instead of the paper, he breaks through the world's best security systems and steals their money for you. It's just another obstacle course for him. |

... yes. And the random bank accounts that it thoughtfully creates for you to launder the money through are just little sleep baskets.

There was this movie (which I never saw) where a guy stole all the half pennies from bank accounts because no one would notice. In SR you could steal the minimum truncation amount from accounts. No one would notice losing .000001¥ from every transaction...

Office Space. When they became bazillionaires in minutes they realized "oh crap! someone's gonna notice!"

Just use an agent and do that to a bazillion different accounts. Or, you know, the sprite. I doubt it will overshoot by several zeroes. Then again, it's a puppy. Puppies are overzealous.
