It’s almost a shame that Deus Ex has the crazy illuminati conspiracies included, because (at the risk of sounding crazy again myself) there’s a surprising amount of truth to some of the things talked about in the game, and on topics that essentially no other game has ever attempted to cover. Ross’ game dungeon did a fantastic video on that topic specifically (linked to the relevant part).
I always figured it was people that took the plot of Deus Ex too seriously.

Which is ironic because you eventually defect from the fascists and join the resistance
Maybe I got the right message from it then; went from being a religious conspiracy nut to a scientifically objective solarpunk! :D
