  1. Placide didn't pay anyone with meat as far as i remember he basically just helped out from kindness (Lots of gangs do this to keep public relation up) also real meat is pretty rare in Night City because of animal mass killings after the disease outbreaks.
    I don't believe the Voodoo boys to be that poor, they have insanely expensive equipment and let's not forget they have managed to keep corps and police out of Pacifica for a long time, and that not only takes manpower but also money. They would still definitely not pay Evelyn though as there isn't really any downside to betraying her. Think the reason people may think they are poor is because Pacifica looks like a shithole, but i imagine it's kinda like Pablo Escobar in Colombia, a rich organization in a poor environment. Reason they don't help out with infrastructure and shit is because they are still a violent gang and still need to keep control with guns, intimidation and netrunning. May also be kinda a waste to build and repair when the stuff gets broken immediately by gang warfare or corp invasions anyway.

  2. Well, Cyberpunk 2077 the video game was based on and heavily influenced by the creator of Cyberpunk 2020, the paper role playing game (like D&D). It was probably script with that sort of flexibility in mind, in fact very early information and play throughs suggested such a dramatic branching storyline, which is more common in paper RPGs rather than computer RPGs, which tend to be a lot more linear.

    It's been suggested that CP2077 was originally designed to not have Johnny Silverhand as an interactive NPC. The basic may have originally been get rich / powerful or rule a corpo / gang / nomad society. It all might have been shifted to a more linear style play with Johnny Reeves joining the development.
