Crapware
It all looks so shiny in the brightly lit corpostores. The 'ware is so clean and pristine. But it is also expensive as hell. Not everyone can afford this years Kiroshi ocular implant. Heck, not everyone can afford Kiroshi's ocular implant from last year.
So what is an edgerunner on a budget to do? Introducing Crapware. Crapware is a new catefory of cyberware representing generic cyberware that isn't name brand. Because of this factor, the people making them did not have the funding to meet the exacting specifications that the name brands 'ware designers can. So while crapware is cheap, it can be glitchy or not as good as the real deal. You get what you pay for, am I right?
