Usually, the commentary isn’t smart. Developers lean into tired tropes such as nefarious corporations and cast cartoon capitalists as stock villains.

The richest man in the world literally bought a social media platform because of naked personal vanity and is specifically targeting people who make fun of him. Jeff Bezos owns a newspaper that prints articles arguing that "the elites should get more say in government"(real headline paraphrased). Nestle is bottling water for profit basically next door to Flint, after openly arguing water shouldnt be above being treated like any limited commodity. Fuck off.

One title that grapples meaningfully with the subject is science-fiction role-playing game The Outer Worlds. Here you play a space colonist who has been awakened from a long period of cryogenic sleep to find a galaxy run by mega-corporations so powerful that they even own the bodies of their employees. From the sharp minds at the company which created Fallout: New Vegas, the game lets you decide whether to fight against the establishment or to become a shill and reap the rewards.

The game constantly places nice and cleaner centrist options inbetween being a deranged caricature of a maoist guerrilla and literally just playing as porky, this is ideological nuance for child brains. Unless you're going in enforcing ideology onto your character and actions in the game you're most likely to just go for these centrist options cause why the bother otherwise? Deciding between wether to starve one of two settlements or just like fucking over one moron and arranging reconcilliation, you would go for fucking over the one moron in charge unless you are going to RP as the Maoist guerrilla who purges the PMC townsfolk for refusing to eat the corpse crops.
