This is how I imagined that opening comment in the latest IGN video going:
I get Hicks' dislike of having Hyperdyne sell weapons to someone that's ostensibly the enemy, but I guess you could maybe take it as perhaps another instance of corporations not giving a damn who they sell to so long as the money is there. Not that I'd have minded either if they'd have gone with a different name/company, since I think this is the first instance we've had of Hyperdyne getting into the weapons business, but it doesn't really bother me.
Looking at it again though it does mention that the Medved shotgun is mentioned as being a UPP weapon that's "sold abroad under license" by them, so maybe it's just a case of this being how the USCM characters are able to use what are basically UPP weapons, rather than them being made by Hyperdyne and sold to the UPP.
Also just a random little lore-related thing, I'm just looking over the star map from the Alien RPG here and I happened to notice that not only is LV-895 featured on it, but it's actually not too far away from Fiorina 161. Makes me wonder if that's just a coincidence or if that might play any part in the story (and perhaps partially being used to explain the presence of so many Runners?). Either way it's cool to see the location already included in the existing lore.
