    So just to clear things up, the little girl in the flashbacks was Sasha when she was younger, and the longer haired woman was her mother. Her mother was sick, and the medication she was taking had extreme adverse side effects that Biotechnica covered up so it wouldn't affect their bottom line. Side effects which eventually ended her mother's life.
    The scene of her hugging her younger self is essentially comforting herself in her final moments before death, knowing that she had gotten some kind of justice for her mother.

    I'm from Poland and a lot of people here, were surprised when this music video popped up because before, nobody thought that Netflix, CD Project Red and Studio Trigger would collaborate with Dawid Podsiadło. It's nice that people all over the world have a chance to meet him because he's a really great artist and I think a lot of songs will appeal to a lot of people. And the music video itself is great, especially after watching the anime.

    If you thought this had a happy ending, you haven't been paying attention lol!
    But look at Maine's arm when he's staring at Sasha's corpse--it's shaking. She thinks she gave her mom justice (even though Biotechnica's totally gonna sweep it under the rug again) and he thinks he's failed again. Just more trauma that's gonna make Maine go psycho, which is the trauma that's gonna make David go psycho. It never ends.

    It was not an addiction. It was a proscribed medication that had lethal side effects that were not disclosed to the public. Sad that even after this, Biotechnica is still considered to have a squeaky clean reputation.

    Sasha was the netrunner for Maine's crew before Kiwi. Her mother was a veteran using painkillers, probably because of injuries from service, but the painkillers ultimately killed her because of unethical practices by Biotechnica, who continued to sell them despite undisclosed fatal side effects. Sasha discovers the files and dies uploading them to the news network.

    "There are no happy endings in Night City."
    Also, Sasha was the Netrunner that Maine had before he meet Kiwi who then brought in Lucy.
    As said before her leak didn't have the effect that she had expected but we don't know a whole lot about the ripple it had. In the game there is an old, worn out graffiti in the northern part of downtown that resembles Sasha's icon.
    I suspect it had an effect, but was quickly covered up or cycled out of the news cycle.
    Also, when a runner goes rogue and does something noble, while the runner community may silently celebrate her, they can't be overt about it without drawing the attention of the corps. Turning against and exposing the corps dirty secrets is considered a big no-no and will land you and everyone you know in their line of fire.
    So that's probably why you wouldn't hear anything about Sasha and why no one talks about her.
    Biotechnica catches wind, they'll tie up loose ends.

    The best way I've seen it put is that Cyberpunk is that people think Cyberpunk's world is horrific but at least cool, but what a lot fail to realize is that our world is pretty horrific, too, it's just boring as well. When you hear about stuff like Cyberpunk's US having its congressmen replaced by corporate execs, for instance, it's nightmarish, but is that really much more than just cutting out the middleman?

    It is so stunning how they gave us a wonderful new character and took her away in less than five minutes, yet we feel like we spent an entire season with her. Without a single (spoken) word. It also adds so much to the characters around her: what has Maine had to sacrifice (of course he got close to them, whatever Faraday would think), who else has Becca lost...such a litany of loss, set in an all-too-possible world.

    i love the subtle hints to other cyberpunk clasics, the jump over the counter and out of the windows are GITS callbacks, her nail razors is probably a nod to a characer called molly from one of the founding cyberpunk novels neuromancer and its successors, obviously also the cyberpunk universe tie-ins, I might have missed other nods, but those are the ones that stood out the very first time I watched the video .

    I think I might have been the suggestion you saw, and I'm glad you took a look at this. Not exactly the emotional beatdown the ending to the series is but I found it remarkable how they introduced a brand new character, gave background on the Maine crew (look at the hand twitch at the end. even back then!) and more insight into the dystopia of the world in addition to fantastic animation and a beautiful song.

    Okay you can make a Sasha outfit with a black netrunner suit and a short pink jacket. For her pistol, use either an Omaha or the iconic Lizzie pistol. There's no cat slashers in the game but you could use mantis blades or daggers. Probably looking at 16 to 20 INT, maybe 12 Body, 20 Cool, and the rest into Reflex, or something like that. She also uses grenades so maybe some in tech? That's just off the top of my head.

    The Cyberpunk 2077 launch disaster was almost entirely the fault of greedy corpo and absurdly intellectually impaired management takover of Quantic Lab, a Quality Assurance company that helped CD Projekt Red with Witcher 3 and other projects, and up to the launch of Cyberpunk 2077 had a good reputation.
    The greedy corpas and the mentally impaired managers were pushing the QA workers to look for as many small bugs as possible making it near impossible for them to find the game breaking bugs and glitches, many of the veteran QA specialists either quit or were told to f off, when they raised concerns over this kind of hamfisted approach to QA, then many other experienced QA guys got let go, to be replaced with cheaper, inexperienced, and oftentimes inept people.
    As a result the developers at CDPR ended up getting swamped with reports hundreds of minor bugs and no major game breaking stuff, so by the time the game was set to release none of the really serious problems that should've (and could've) been fixed, had gone under the radar.
    All because of greedy idiots and incompetent idiots.
