Slightly off-topic but I really enjoyed the way Horizon Zero Dawn (spoilers ahead) illustrated the military industrial complex with Ted Faro. The dude was so convinced he was right about everything that not only did he help create the deadliest legion of machines ever conceived, he also deleted all knowledge acquired by humanity because he fucked up so bad that he thought anyone less smart than him (read:everyone else) would fuck up just as bad if not worse with the same knowledge. I imagine most real military contractors are lead by people who are similarly humble

That pissed me off so much. I really wanted the world to gain access to APOLLO (I'm not saying i thought the story was bad, rather that it was good and I was very invested) (please don't spoil forbidden west for me in case that comes up)

Oh I’m still going through Forbidden West. When I read the first part of your comment I thought you were spoiling it for me lol

Nope just the ELEUTHIA-9 cradle and GAIA Prime from the first game
