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.
As much as I still have a soft spot for it: Mass Effect. The entire universe is drenched in capitalist realism. It has moments it even critiques this in part 3 but it never really goes anywhere with it.
The ending…kinda sorta tries to be something else but it’s so damn contradictory to the 200+ hours before it that it just doesn’t function as the ending to the story they told.
It’s amazing. A whole galaxy of spacefaring, sapient species and apparently they’re all fucking stockbrokers
Oh man i know! Great series but, yes total capitalist realiism. Its also pretty damn fascist too, or at least explicitly militirastic. Only way to get around this damn red tape is for some hardass military dude to disregard civilian authority and save the ungrateful civilians. Its got some “It was the politicians! They wouldn’t let us WIN in Vietnam!” kind of vibes.
