The game itself was described by some, who lacked knowledge of the game's developers, as a "white game". The term used to describe this state of affairs is "mechanical apartheid", which has driven some quarters to complain about it on Twitter and elsewhere on the Internet.
The world of 2029 isn't a very pleasant place for humans with cybernetic and mechanical augmentations–cyborgs–following the events of Deus Ex: Human Revolution, which saw millions lose their lives after cyborgs were forcibly taken over by a virus that turned them into homicidal machines with no control of their actions.Īs a result of these events, mechanically augmented humans have been cast out from society, living in complete and total segregation from the rest of society. Deus Ex: Mankind Divided, the newest title from Eidos Montreal and Square Enix was accused yesterday of being racist, or at the very least racially insensitive, for using the term "mechanical apartheid" to describe the state in which the game's futuristic world is.
