Netwatch is known as the corporation that saves humanity from rogue AIs in Cyberpunk 2077.
Their claim to fame is that they created the Blackwall and are not biased. They protect everyone equally. In this video we examine if that is all true.

10:03 The Biggest Lie Netwatch Ever Told

I could listen to Mike Pondsmith all damn day.
tbh, NetWatch is still the least evil group operating in Night City, i also think that are corpo in name only and function more like an independent information gathering agency like one of the Alphabet agencies in the US.
There is something to this netwatch, johnny silverhand, and Alt Cunningham engrham thing they got going on, im not sure why netwatch would want Johnnys engrham to talk to alt, didnt alt work with netwatch in the past to build the blackwall after she had already made the net her home?? Something odd for tue reasoning behind this 'need' for netwatch. They should be able to contact alt somehow without Johnny.
I am shocked, shocked to hear another corp in Night City is up to no good
So basically the Blackwall is Cyberpunk’s Skynet. It created itself in the Internet like ChatGPT on Steroids, and that would suggest that Bartmoss may have known about it and did what he did in response to that, and everything we know about him is a lie.
You're telling me the entire premise of this video is based on the fact that the Voodoo Boys haven't literally broken through the Blackwall "yet"? If someone almost sets yout house on fire over and over but don't actually succeed – are you going to try stopping them? Of course you are. Just because they haven't succeeded YET doesn't mean they won't ever.
Nightwatch may be just as corrupt as everyone else – but the Voodoo Boys are the ones spraying "Axe body spray" into the air while barbecuing hot dogs with a flamethrower. Someone has to stop them before they burn down the whole neighborhood or worse they leave it smelling like a boys high-school locker room.
I always assumed that the Blackwall was an A.I. What else would be capable of fighting off rogue A.I.s Humans would be woefully inadequate to fight A.I.s
I wonder if Arasaka doing dealings with Maelstrom (Prophet Gary questline) is their own project of using Maelstrom to poke on the Blackwall – as seen in "Bloody Ritual" quest. Is "Tenth Crircle" the Blackwall? Lilith in all likelihood is Alt, I know it's rouge AI that takes the deliberate form of Alt for V and Sliverhand, but maybe it's AI that is a kind of "ambassador" for rouge AIs, dedicated to talk to anyone who passed the Blackwall? EDIT:Wait a minute – if this were the case then actually this amabsador could also be a protocol of Blackwall itself, this makes Alt can be part of Blackwall and not be rouge AI. This could make sense insofar as a person who has passed through Blackwall is not killed by rouge AIs – Blackwall protects them, just as Blackwall protects the Net from rouge datamorphic entities.
One of my favorite lines in Cyberpunk: “how to explain to a layman?… the net has layers, various vectors for translocation”
It’s like, LOL, ok, that clears it all up
I have a question for anyone interested: do you think Pondsmith could have portrayed himself as Mr. Hands?
It's not mere curiosity.
Don't care. I hate the VBs.
I didn't know that netwatch was lying the whole time, i guess there whole corporation is nothing but a fraud. This makes that blackwall stuff even worse then before.
It's actually already confirmed in the ttrpg cyberpunkRED that the blackwall was developed in the 2040s by Netwatch with the help of some former netrunners trapped as pseudo-AI like Alt (I forget if she was involved)
I still like cutting a deal with the netwatch agent in the GIM just to stick it to Placide.
Great piece
I think I've managed to find a more or less appropriate analogy that may come closer to understanding what the Black Wall is.
It is based on Stephen King's novella “The Mist”. Using this analogy, we can see that the Black Wall is an infinitely spreading breeding ground, a channel in which demons live. Of course, it in no way protects against demons – on the contrary, through the Black Wall demons can be “downloaded” into the consciousness of any living individual. The only question is that some people, for example, because of the biochip “Relic” built into their brain, have a wider range of possibilities for interaction with the Wall, and in relation to them some more structurally complex types of interaction can be realized, to implement some strategy, while most ordinary individuals can only meet the most primitive demons and can get only “their brains burnt” effect.
Nah, not buying it. If you have a wall, and someone is taking potshots at it with a rifle, you’d be rightfully paranoid something bad is gonna happen one day. Especially if the key to ending civilization is on the other side chomping at the bit for a hole just big enough to squeeze through.
I don't agree with Net Watch, but anybody that had a hand in what happened to Evelyn gets zeroed, and Net Watch helps me with that. Voodoo boys have to go.
Something seems wrong. The Blackwall has always been known to be made by Netwatch, it's basically a firewall to keep the AIs beyond the wall from reaching us. The blackwall isn't the problem, it's the things behind it. So it's not like Netwatch lied or anything. However there are some rogue AIs that either sticked around before netwatch created the wall, one such is Delemain. as one of his "children" mention they are from beyond the blackwall.
Well, when you're a ranyon and you're on playthrough 2+ fuck the Voodoo boys. Fry those double crossing fucks, for Evie.
I don't know if you'll see this comment, because there are lots of them on these videos, but if you do, something I thought of not too long ago that I don't have the time to actually investigate on my own but would love to know:
How did the Voodoo Boys actually know that Yorinobu had snuck the biochip out of Arasaka labs?
We get hired by Evelyn Parker via Dexter DeShawn. Evelyn Parker was hired by Maman Birgitte, who also knew that Johnny Silverhand was on the Relic and would lead them to Alt Cunningham. Yorinobu snuck the Relic biochip out of the labs. Goro Takemura tells us at Tom's Diner that Anders Hellman was the first one to alert Saburo Arasaka to Yorinobu's schemes, as well as him having shown a moment of weakness with his daughter, Hanako.
One thing in all of this: I can't figure out how Maman Birgitte knew that Yorinobu had stolen the biochip and snuck it out. Also, what exactly was he going to do with it? I've heard that he wanted to sell/give it to NetWatch, but I don't know that for certain.
I hate Night City, but I can't leave it. I know it's a nightmare, but I look at the koi holograms and I'm just mesmerized. Maybe that's what will save my V
