Not necessarily, that arguement is a form of genetic fallacy. Have you considered the publicity implications of making such a boisterous statement, as a multinational corporation? A cryptocracy works through subtle hints and suggestions, not objective claims.

The writers of the game honestly don't have to consciously know what they are writing about, they may just have certain goals in mind when making a script. It could merely be the collective subconscious at work. As a person who is enthused by the occult, it seems like an easy conclusion to arrive upon.
