Do you believe the big world goverment conspiracy ?
well I do illuminati , templars , cfr etc.
But why these things have found a place int his game ? is it becuase developers wanted to catch a point about this in the public and make us to pay attention about these topics or are these groups really financing these games to show off ?
ı wonder what you think ? if you want more information about illuminati

I've always been impressed by the way a very short-lived idealistic gentlemen's club type of thing managed to become a world-controlling secret society centuries after being disbanded... ;)
(still, it did give us Steve Jackson's brilliant game, which I quite enjoy playing ;)

Its because they wanted to make a video game.
(
http://stl.caltech.edu/dx.shtml) Scroll down to the bottom, and WS talks a little bit about it
For example"
Quote:
"Fictionally, Deus Ex is set in a near-future version of the real world (as it exists if conspiracy buffs are right). For some real shorthand, call it "James Bond meets The X-Files." (Remember that seemingly innocent claim that Deus Ex is set in the real world. It'll come up again shortly...)........We hammered on the setting and decided to move the game into the near future to buy ourselves some room to play around - the real world, as we quickly discovered, was very limiting. Ultimately, we settled on a conspiracy-oriented background..........We worked on back-story stuff so we'd know what was going on in the world, even in places the player never got to visit. Some of this stuff may come to the forefront in Deus Ex 2 but, for Deus Ex, it was just a way of making sure we knew enough to include the kinds of small details that make a fictional world convincing.We did a vast amount of research into "real" conspiracies - the Kennedy assassination, Area 51, the CIA pushing crack in East L.A., Dwight Eisenhower's UFO connection, and of course Freemasons tunneling below the Denver airport and building abducted-baby cafeterias for alien invaders at George Bush's direction. Only a fraction of this stuff ended up in the game, but it gave us a peek into the minds of conspiracy buffs that was both scary and useful.
All from Warren Spector.
As for what I believe....an armed state will only be at the mercy of conspirators if it allows itself to be.

I don't think it's that simple. As I pointed out before, for more than a decade, most games produced or related with WS (UW1, Thief 1/2, DX/DXIW) have strong connections with Illuminati/Freemasonry/Templar.

So he works with what he is familiar with. I used to eat this stuff up too.

It seems true that many Spector games are based around the concept of conspiracy and corruption. DX/IW are obvious, but even the System Shock games have an element of extragovernmental intrigue.

I think I remember Spector or another dev had said about Deux Ex: "If it's in the game, you can be sure someone believes it somewhere" (or something like that).

Yes, that was pretty much the rationale behind the Deus Ex world, as I understand it. And that goes for the science and the social and political speculation just much as the conspiracy theories.
