Yes, particularly MGS 2 was absurdly prescient with the entire concept of… the vast majority of the internet being unordered and uncontextualized noise and chaos, and… there needing to be a way to structure it, but also, there is essentially no way to do that that is not also going to manipulative/exploitative.

We also now do pretty much live in PMC world, it just isn’t as… stylish? I’m gonna use that word.

Our world is agruably at least as absurd as the MGS plotline, but in different ways.
