This is, if I remember correctly, what started the dystopia in one of the armored core continuities. On the one hand, billions, amounting to the overwhelming majority of the world’s population, will horrifically die. On the other, some people will pilot sweet-ass mechs in the next 50 years. Hard choice.

This 100% was the backstory. And we already have the megacorps to take up the flag... ugh.
