Corporate-Owned

Proprietary infrastructure integration where mega-corporations hold absolute patent control, licensing agreements, and remote-kill triggers over an operator's cybernetic limbs, software suites, or synthetic organs.

The thrill of absolute corporate dependency, where every upgrade, repair, or even continued function of your own body parts depends on a corporate license and the threat of a remote kill switch.
