... i been thinking on your question. well perhaps they want to rule this one because this is the one you are observing. i dont mean anything when i say that but so far that is what i see. perhaps there is a tactical interest in this timeline to some groups but i know nothing about that. also im thinking there is different versions of corporations. like in cyberpunk the corporations may act much more like a god then they do now. another interesting timeline is the one that umbrella corporation completely destroyed and is suck managing the virus outbreak they have. just some thoughts.
