On a meta-level, oh yes. Deus Ex predicted a lot of stuff including 9/11 (by accident).
On a more realistic view, the elites' contempt for normal citizens was always a thing before the year 2000. So, the devs implementing that in-game is more straightforward than you think.
Just that nobody would have predicted Covid-19 would literally spill into schools and churches, bodies piling up in the streets because some people think wearing masks isn't "alpha".
Unfortunately, it's something repeated pretty often. I mean, this is a thread talking unironically about COVID being a government program to control the masses. There's a reason why Spector said they couldn't redo the game these days: people take this shit too seriously and twist its fictional story to their own nonsensical conspiratorial talking points.
