Fallout has always been a commentary about how unregulated capitalism is the ruin of everything. From the very first game.
Vault-Tec fleeced its customers and double dipped, selling already filled vaults to other corporations to run experiments in them
WestTek knowingly delivered faulty power armors to the US military, knowing full well that it would result in the deaths of US soldiers in a war which could end the existence of West-Tek itself, but they didn’t care, short term profits trumped long term existence.
Nuka-Cola literally contained isotopes of radioactive elements as a selling point… not to mention the excessive amount of sugar and caffeine (120% of daily recommended sugar intake per bottle)
may I remind everyone about the FEV? A literal miracle cure for all viral (bioweapon) infection, but that wasn’t enough, capitalists had to go further and think “but what if we used to mutate the entire population?”
All these billionaire shitheads with their fallout bunkers. Starting to think that series is a futurementary.
