For instance, the Civ games are basically Whig History: The Game, presenting liberal capitalism as the ideal end point for all societies. It even includes uncivilized "barbarian tribes" whose sole purpose is to be exterminated so you can take their land for the glory of capitalism.

    didn't david cage try to argue d:bh wasn't an allegory for the civil rights movement while having in game characters repeatedly compare it to the civil rights movement?

        Thats what he claims but theres literally no way that he wasn't making 90% of the game as a direct civil rights allegory before being told that it would look bad, like you can literally make the rallying cry of the android rights movement "We have a dream".
