Any work that satirizes wealth or corporate greed, made by a public company, is almost definitionally hypocritical.
Outer Worlds has this same issue.

To be fair, the original Deus Ex is more anti-authoritarianism than it is anti-capitalist in the motivations of the villains. Grey Death wasn't done for economic purposes, it was literally a means to kick off a worldwide eugenics experiment. They used the Ambrosia vaccine to select who lives, not really to make money.
In the end the company that made it got bought by a massive public company using Saudi money. Double whammy
I can almost imagine them making some ai-centered merch based on cliffford from gta online
