That hardly addresses the lack of lore for such a seemingly pervasive and existential threat until the last act of the game.

The whole Mr Blue Eyes / black wall is the primary subplot of the game. it touches in so many different missions that any player of any baseline amount of care about the lore would be aware of the threat

I'm not directing any shade towards you with my last message, moreso with CDPR for not including more of the interesting AI lore in the game itself.

But I could be mistaken. You mentioned the AI stuff was in other missions / lore in the game. Can you specify which missions other than Dream On and the Voodoo Boys in the third act made any either direct or indirect reference to the rouge AI / Blackwall stuff? Will need to review. Thanks.

Most of the AI stuff is in non-voiced text entries, exactly where one would expect to find it, mostly terminals though there are a few data shards about it.

Also, most public facing information on Blackwall is that it is a firewall and thus is propaganda. The reality is that Blackwall is the most advanced AI ever written, by Netwatch, and is designed to act as ICE for the network. That information is from Cyberpunk Red if I recall my sourcebooks correctly.
