The gang controlled areas have become known as free fire zones

So, Vampire: The Masquerade vs. Shadowrun.

vs.

I submit that between these two RPGs you have the entirety of the (mid) ‘90s.

Like on the one hand goths and on the other techno-pagans, that’s obviously the '90s right there.

Like on the one hand the world keeps on going but there’re no causes to believe in. You’re one of the special ones, though, so even though your games don’t matter they’re the best games. There are special ones older than you, and other factions, but you’ll tear them down eventually. There’re unspecial ones all around, and to thrive you ultimately have to consume them, and isn’t it tragic, but I guess you’ll find a way to deal.

And on the other hand, the world has fallen apart, there’s no cause to believe in, so you keep taking corporate jobs, but use the money to buy cool badass electronics and hang out with environmentalists and street punks, that’ll bring the system down, right?

That’s less obviously the '90s right there.
