Do video game makers alter their video games to reveal important topics to humanity?

I see this more specifically with the uses of role playing game like final fantasy , especially when the setting is in modern day or post future.

I was playing final fantasy seven and noticed that the Shin-Ra army was almost a metaphor for the American army and it's Militaristic ways to obtain the energy source of the planet.

In final fantasy seven this energy is called mako but once again this is an obvious reference to oil. If you look closely at the story line it's definitely a vague reference to (western) American society

I was also playing the new version of civilization and noticed that all the countries you fight act like a bunch of stereotypes, I was sending some settlers to create a new city, but the zulu nation (blacks) stole them and created his own city. I of course promptly attacked , but no other nations do that, not even salidan of the arabs. Usually all the european (white) nations never go to war with you if your a european/american nation, unless it's germany coz their nazis or england because it's england

Theres plenty of more video game that have presented conspiracies , I just can't think of them now. Might later.

It's pretty ridiculous when you consider that modern Judaism is only about 1,800 years old and in many ways much newer.

ok, I was playing grand theft auto 4, And i took my black homies from hypothetical Harlem to hypothetical Brooklyn.

They not only helped me do drive by killing of other black gangs in Brooklyn. they also rip on other people in the area but it goes to prove that developers of these kind of games develop them around realistic issues.
