A virus has wiped out swathes of people from the face of the Earth – a suspiciously flawless means of population control without generating any waste. But even that is becoming a reality! Corporations now hold more power than governments, consumerism advertises life-changing products to rope in the middle and lower classes in order to keep them docile and not question their higher authority.
I mean look around you! The world of Deus Ex (as tweeted by Elon Musk) is closer than you think if you simply remove the human augmentation aspect. And all these some 15-20 years prior to the actual onset of such events. Like, the first game literally came out at the turn of century, at the time of the Y2k scare, and dabbled with fascism, global epidemic, massive surveillance, digital censorship, and of course, transhumanism.
If you ask me, Deus Ex has always been the pinnacle of immersive sims with its mature narrative based on real-world politics.
