It probably reflects political realities the authors are aware of, even if only by having it told as a narrative in other stories by other authors, but that the authors just intended to be entertaining and not to come out and make a political statement. Just because the way I act and speak probably reflects my political beliefs to some degree does not mean I am intentionally trying to make a political point when I do something or speak.
I really feel the guy saying he did not intend it to be political and just wanted to combine shooters and RPGs.
I do say this not having played Deus Ex, and as a person who does participate in actual intentional progressive politics to a degree (though not on Lemmy :P).
Having played Deus Ex probably ~10 times since the 2000s, I would have to agree.
There are clearly political themes in Deus Ex, but it seems they are there more their for entertainment. The political elements are almost tongue in cheek ("new world order" type organization, black helicopters).
Yes, I agree.
It's kind of ironic how back then this was seen as a fairly generic dystopian future, and yet here we are living in the beginning stages of said generic dystopian future...
