I disagree. The political undertones in the setting of a global pandemic hit even harder today than when the game released in 2000.

I especially loved the "conspiracy" talk about corporations consolidating their powers thanks to government-sponsored wage slavery and higher taxes to the individual vs companies. It's something that's even more relevant today, especially in this space of entrepreneurship.

For sure! I just meant that when it came out it was revolutionary and cutting edge, if you play it for the first time now you have to get past the outdated graphics and clunky gameplay to really appreciate it.

Story, dialogue, theme-wise hasn't aged a bit.
