What was Dusan even looking for?

[Hackie P4ckie]

I just finished the game and I'm still not entirely sure why Dusan did half of the things he did during the game.

Like, being the CTO of Blume and engaging in all this criminal, subversive ♥♥♥♥. I understand why he did all of that, but why was he so complacent all the time?

He treated everyone like ♥♥♥♥ throughout the whole game, EXCEPT Marcus, and DedSec. Like, every single scene where he's with Marcus, he has the power to just take Marcus in, there and then, but he never does. And then he captures Wrench, and just decides to walk in and let him go straight away.

And then at the very end, he's all surprised when Marcus and Ray tell him that they've exposed everything he was working on.

Like, no ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ ♥♥♥♥. Of course DedSec would come and expose you. They've been routinely hunting down everyone you had in your pocket. Everyone that you had influence over. And then when they finally come for you, you just sit back and keep saying "Oh, Marcus, whatever will I do with you?"

Seems to me like he was just watching his demise coming from a long way off and decided to do absolutely nothing about it, even though he had the opportunity to intervene SO MANY TIMES. It's like he keeps underestimating DedSec, and doubting their abilities. But DedSec then proves him wrong, again, and again, and again. Yet he still never actually acts against them.

CTO of Blume? Maybe he was just a greedy ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥. I don know, I've played the game about 3 to 4 months ago.

Yeah, I get that much. He was pushing for all this extra control through the ctOS system because he was just a greedy ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥, basically.

The question is why did he let Marcus put a stop to all his ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ without a fight? He had plenty of opportunities to stop Marcus and DedSec but instead he just let them go, every single time. They spend the whole game defaming all his subordinates and then he's apparently surprised that they managed to defame him as well.

He feels underwhelming. Nothing he did really felt all that threatening, and even if it was meant to, he didn't really act on the threats, ever.

Because he's a globalist.

Well, that's because that's exactly what he did throughout the whole game, and to be fair he was right to underestimate them for at least 90% of it.

Dusan's plan was simple; create a scapegoat who would try to take on the system (that's Marcus), so that the other corporations at Silicon Valley would fall on his doorstep to get his oh-so-secure CtOS. That's why he doesn't intervene for literally the whole game, everything Marcus and DedSec does is, although detrimental to one of Dusan's lackeys, immensely beneficial to him himself when you look at the bigger picture.

The only reason this changes by the end of the game is because DedSec manages to get a backdoor on Galilei's satellite, which gets them to see something about Blume which, for the first time in the entire storyline, Dusan hadn't intended for them to see or do. Just look at the last missions, the scale of DedSec's actions is completely different from anything else you've done up to that point, and targets prime innovations and projects from Blume (instead of targeting secondary operations, or groups which have nothing to do with them).

The only time Dusan takes Marcus seriously is when he gets the FBI to put him on their Most Wanted list (in the very last mission). At that point, it's already way too late.

I suppose that explains why he looked a lot more concerned during the last few missions than anywhere else. He always seems to be in control of everything, so I assumed he had a plan in mind when he started launching satellites. I thought he expected Marcus to try and hack one of them.
