It doesn’t even have the Asimovian flirtation with (but ultimate rejection or lib-brain-ization of) real materialist/emancipatory themes.
You think any of the people making these games have actually read any Asimov? I think you'll find 1 or 2 people in a team of 300 contractors that might possibly have. I don't think reading books is very common among videogame devs, their spare time is spent almost exclusively with videogames and writers for these games are always an afterthought rather than the core that the project is built around.

I don't disagree, but I'm also talking about sci-fi literature and film. The whole genre is very fucked vibes, at the moment, across every medium.
"Haha what if we fuck up space the same way we fucked up our planet?"
