I'm liking this game but holy cow this is not a critic on capitalism like the game advertises and it's halarious

Outerworlds 2

The game attempts to provide options but always presents the capitalist option as the better option and less violent option while also acknowledging they send soldiers out on death missions for scraps.

Let's give the prime example of Westport because I am early. Your choices are, convert the town to wage slaves, or let them be executed by their own order. It basically takes all morality from the decision when you know there own faction will kill them anyway. It should be a harder choice. Like making them loss their community while struggling, or potentially a more prosperous position. But they have to add in the killer thing because communism means crazy authoritarianism. And that is fine. As long as it acknowledged this late late stage capitalism is also AUTHORITARIANISM just in a different stroke. But it never does.

And of course corpos don't kill people so it's good(even though they constantly are). Like the dictator faction doesn't make sense. It's just comically evil and not really a good satire version of extreme communism to the satire of extreme capitalism where there are equally bad moral choices. It's always like well you can choose the prolateriate or corpos, but the prolateriate are going to execute their own so might as well join the corpos so you have freedom the aunties choice freedom. It also mentioned several times how the differene of the lower class of the prolateriate is awful. But hasn't mentioned once how horrible the lower class is in a late late stage capitalism would be. It's just every one is doing great under capitalism, we just should make it a tiny bit less corrupt I guess is the message?

The writing has no balls. To make an actual substantive political argument to stand against that status quo capitalism that it's trying to parody. In fact it almost seems like it's trying to normalize it.
