Title. Need some examples of games that had lefty politics and leanings and weren't too ashamed to hide it. Platform/country of origin is irrelevant. I know about FF7's support for ecoterrorism, and even the nuance about the people caught up in the middle, and there's plenty of games that take an anti-corporate stance, but that can be easily brushed aside.
I'm specifically interested in this era as it's when games first acquired the ability to become fully immersive in their narratives with the adoption of multimedia melding into the core gameplay loop via the use of full motion video, voice acting, detailed images and so on.
Reminder: all games are political; even abstract puzzle games.
You are 100% correct in this analysis, and I'm glad you noticed the deeper undertones in the story beyond "bad corporation"; the entirety of Raccoon City's bourgeoisie is in Umbrella's employ and exists to further their interests, whether they are aware of it or not.
Thanks, I considered not posting this because it felt like a stretch.
Not a stretch at all. Raccoon City is a company town through and through
