Wireless society entertainment, anyone really bothered by the posible consequences? Options

I didn't mean that goverments/terrorists are really match for megacorps. I think they are just a bit more powerful than in Gibson's books or in Cyberpunk 2020, and can be more than just pain in the ass for megas.

Also I'm not so sure that the Arc Shutdown or Second Crash really changed all that much

They didn't. But they shook everything a bit.

I mean, corps aren't the ONLY powerful beings in the world - just MOST powerful. That's a difference.

My reading of the 4th edition fluff in several of the sourcebooks tells me that the current developers envision a very multi-polar world with a number of roughly equivalent major powers, being the AAAs and a few of the major governments, and many lesser powers like the AAs, the Atlantean Foundation, mid-size governments, and so on.

The thing is that I disagree on the "strength" of the organizations you are bringing up, what we are calling terrorist groups in the Sixth World would merely be rolled into the various gangs in typical cyberpunk, and with the exception of the "no-man lands" caused by mojo run amuck the governments really only exist at the corp's convience, sure they can be a pain in the ass at times for the corps, but that doesn't neccessarily require the corps to "play nice".
