    These would be some of the most terrifying futures if critically explored, like how do you fight a system where the oppressors essentially have infinite resources but use them to oppress the working class and extract more resources that aren't even necessary. In borderlands you just shoot people for loot and team up with the "good" corporations without changing anything.

      You don't, I think; but in borderlands at least you've got interstellar space travel so you just find another set of planets as far away as possible and go there, hoping the capitalist civilization you came from collapses on itself before ever reaching your new place.
