The fun thing about these two is not just that they were developed independently at the exact same time and look the exact same (only partially because that's just what 1999 looked like) but also that every idea they overlap on they come at from opposite directions. the matrix is hollywood's most successful trans allegory but like for real, and deus ex is just accidentally a game where you start with a bunch of people congratulating you on your new name and wishing you luck adjusting to your new body, your boss tells you to get out of the ladies' bathroom, then in the final level you find the vat you were grown in and they literally wrote your Assigned Birth Identity on your clone tank
