    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.
