The rhetoric of the game comes across like dog-whistle signaling aimed at those who believe “corporation” is itself a dirty word, but it strikes me as a lazy way to get people to care.

I'm always tickled when I think about EA CEO's making bank off people caught up in a narrative about evil corporations...
