I feel like this statement completely misses why Government Takeover is bad and Beale is good.
GT is bad because the runner can randomly find it before the corp and be instantly on game point/win if it was their second steal. If the runner doesn’t snag it early, it’s still a 9-advancement agenda, making it very challenging to score. Agendas you can’t score, but can lose you the game are bad.
Beale is good because it is a 3/2 that can be boosted to a 5/3 or 7/4; 9/5; 11/6; 13/7 as needed. Flexibility is good. Also, a Beale stolen with 7 advancement counters on it is still only worth 2 points to the runner, so even a big loss of tempo didn’t put the runner so close to winning.
