10 Most Shocking Video Game Myths. Closer Inspection Revealed The Truth.

August 6, 2014 by Ian Miles Cheong

We’ve decided to collect ten very popular, and totally out-of-this-world game myths and urban legends.

#6 Deus Ex Predicts 9/11

When Deus Ex was released in the year 2000, the World Trade Center towers were still standing. However, in the game, they appear to be missing from the New York City skyline when viewed from Liberty Island. The real reason for this is because the developers had to crop the skyline to fit the limitations of the game’s engine at the time and thus the iconic buildings had to be cut from the view. 

That being said, the game is strangely prescient in how it predicted a major terrorist attack on New York City. It begins with a terrorist attack on the Statue of Liberty, which turns out to be a false flag event to smear the reputation of a so-called “terrorist” organization known as the NSF.
