Oh yeah, I'm sure there's a whole discussion to be had about capitalist media that depicts anti-capitalist themes, but does it in such a watered down way, it's more of an aesthetic than an actual criticism of what's happening. I'm not sure if it's always meddling or if it's more that the people writing it are too liberal to have a clue how to represent such a thing. I mean, I admit that even with what I know, it is a challenge to write a fictional representation of such matters because there is always some element of it being divorced from the realities, but I'm sure if I was writing a cyberpunk-esque story, it'd be one that involves people being organized against the source of the problems and contending with the unique technological challenges involved in opposing it.

Like I say, the game is very much into existentialism, it's not about changing the society nor the world, but rather what would you do if you are put in that world. (with restrictions in the case of game being restrictive in terms of choices) Phantom Liberty is about what would you do if you are told that there is a cure but then stuck in a hard rock of whether to trust random person with immense power or US (NUSA) that promise to cure V (Player character).
