Internet Divided: Deus Ex and fiction versus reality

Deus Ex: Mankind Divided, the next entry in the critically-acclaimed video game series, launches on August 23rd. It promises to continue exploring the complex themes and narrative of its predecessor, Human Revolution. Questions of humanity, playing God, man versus machine and man as machine will be raised as players explore a dark vision of our future.

Unfortunately, a public relations disaster has plunged the game into a hotbed of controversy and complaints. Shortly after a piece of concept art from the upcoming game was shared online, game news outlets and social media followers were quick to voice concern.
