Kinda wish I could agree with Radika's plans

I wish the game was more like Deus Ex, where you actually choose to (more or less) go along with the so-called villain's plans. Or rather, the game ought to be a bit more nuanced and not try so hard to paint them as 'evil'. The world isn't that simple.

But then again I'm a real-life transhumanist so that explains my frustration at being portrayed as the bad guys yet again...

yes it's sad.. and always the same: they make a transhumanism game, with many transhumanism elements, so it seems they like transhumanism, but in the end they say: no no no we hate transhumanism ^^

While the game is certainly skeptical, if not outright critical, of transhumanism, that's not really the crux of the issue. Rather, it is the fact that Supercontinent Ltd. plans to force Social Psyche Welfare on a non-consenting population.

yes you are right, I overlooked this little fact, this is maybe not ok..
although it would be the best for all, so in this case we should do it nevertheless ^^

yes the game is critical, but I mean I would not do for example a critical game about robots if I don't like robots, I would not deal with robots at all, why should I create robots, put my time in it and attract robot-fans and the cyberpunk community if I hate those things?

it's the same with Stanislaw Lem, he wrote soo much about robots and I love his books and his robots, but he don't like or want robots at all, he hates robots, he even said that he is not a science fiction author, why?! ^^

Sometimes you have to write about things you find morally wrong, to illustrate what your find so wrong or appaling about them, and spread your personal philosophy.
