… a space-goldfish, if you really want to push your point home.

Well, you were asking about releasing the name of a hypercorp exec, so I figured you were asking what would happen. In EP, I believe my answer is correct; an assassination attempt would follow. In EP, hypercorps are portrayed as the ultimate evil entities next to the TITANs. I suppose I'm too moderate to be all in on one side of the debate or the other. I agree that corporations can be inherently selfish, but I don't agree that executives wake up from dreams of consumer slaves to plot how to destroy humanity. There are some corporations who perhaps meddle too much in politics, such as most social media tech giants, and some who price gouge such as big pharma and big oil (although for the latter I blame the lobby industry more than anyone). But aside from those bad bad actors, successful corporations exist due to consumerism, which is to say that people choose to spend their money on the products developed by said corporations. Anti-trust laws and similar are supposed to keep monopolies from occurring so consumers have choice in their purchases (though lobbyists can buy a government blind eye to this). But again, most companies and corporations only get to be successful by selling things people want to purchase for a competitive price. Don't get me wrong, I'm not some far right nut job, I know there are problems with corporations, but I'm also not some left wing nut job either who blames all of corporate America for all of society's woes. If you really want to know my thoughts on various subjects, feel free to ask more questions. I gave you a perfectly reasonable answer for the game setting as written in 1e, where hypercorps are cartoonishly evil and somehow still turn a profit. It is an RPG with themes which include political strife, therefore in such a setting the logical outcome of identifying a villain is that someone tries to murder them. Are you saying that your players would instead perhaps just shame the guy on social media, or stage a peaceful demonstration? Of course not. I really don't understand why you seem to take issue with my response.

Hmmm.... I don't see the mocking part, but sarcasm and I do go way back. I suppose I could be more diplomatic in mentioning things which have a political nature and will endeavor to do so in the future. It is probably best in these divided times that a moderator steps in whenever a divisive issue is broached, so thank you for your efforts. I will bow out of this topic now and see what others suggest would happen in regards to the OP's query.
