    Any work that satirizes wealth or corporate greed, made by a public company, is almost definitionally hypocritical.

    Outer Worlds has this same issue.

    To be fair, the original Deus Ex is more anti-authoritarianism than it is anti-capitalist in the motivations of the villains. Grey Death wasn't done for economic purposes, it was literally a means to kick off a worldwide eugenics experiment. They used the Ambrosia vaccine to select who lives, not really to make money.

    It’s a gross but established practice to fire loads of people before releasing a game. This denies them the opportunity to be listed in the credits and can be a huge set back to their careers.

    I’m not surprised, but I am disappointed.
