    Also, when fleeing Earth, they don’t try to solve issues. They just set up new corporations doing the exact same stuff in other places. When the game presents a problem where taking down a CEO would be one of the best possible outcomes, it isn’t an option. Literally everything you do in the game is maintaining the status-quo of the modern world, despite it being the source of so many issues in the game. You can’t change anything and no one wants to either.

    That sounds pretty realistic to me. I’m not sure if it’s intentional, but this counts as a commentary on our social situation. Probably doesn’t make for a compelling game, though.

      If it were commentary, they’d talk about it. It just is, and it can’t change. They just copied what they know without considering why.
