    In Warframe there’s this debt internment colony called Fortuna you can ally with. The workers there are slaves who are working to pay off their debts. Most of those debts come from them buying expensive cybernetics which are necessary for them to work in the first place. If they can’t make their payments, their robotic body parts will be “repossessed”. Brilliant critique of capitalism.

    Anyway, you can join Fortuna’s union and help them with industrial actions against their oppressors. And in a really good nugget of writing, your contact always refers to stealing as taxing. “Go tax their supply shipments, Tenno”. The people of Fortuna are so financially abused that their word for theft is “tax”. They don’t have a word for stealing anymore other than the euphemism corporations use.
