Watch Dogs was in Mr Robot and the team didn't know!

Watch Dogs 2 is out soon and the first game had a cameo appearance in an episode of Mr Robot recently, to the surprise of the team.

The first Watch Dogs came out at a time when the hacker world had become less interesting to popular culture and the game certainly tied into some familiar themes. Around the same time, TV series Person of Interest was doing some similar things in terms of software and surveillance, leading to that surprisingly frequent synergy across different entertainment worlds.

In the time that Watch Dogs 2 has been in development, Mr. Robot has also become a bit of a phenomenon. It’s a darker and altogether more interesting tale which also ties into Watch Dogs through the use of a counter-culture hacking group.
