Deus Ex is the 1984 of videogames.
Someone on here posted the dialogue from a conversation with an NSF “terrorist” from the game and I initially thought it was a pretty reasonable assessment of modern society and its problems. It was only when I read the comments that someone pointed out that the post was quoted verbatim from the game. Need to see if I can find that post…
They also predicted 9/11.
Meanwhile I’m playing Deus Ex like:
It’s just human nature to see something coming for 40+ years and then be surprised by it.
