Exactly, what’s so grueling about the CP universe is that they have the tech and means of creating a utopia, but due to the extreme capitalism, corruption and overwhelming power of corporations nothing gets better. It’s like everyone who cares just gave up on fixing that society and everyone is just fending for themselves.
There have been a few games where the goal was to make a planet/region habitable again, I’ve always liked the idea. It’s like a reverse city builder.
