Just had my own "Eye opening" experience with Deus Ex. There is a bulletin near the beginning of the game talking about a French group starting a "Meme war". This game was made in 2000 (gaming)

I think the term "meme" came into popular usage in about 2006, especially with internet culture.

Were the French onto something, given this games many references to real life conspiracies and real life happenings? Or is this just writing?

Richard Dawkins coined the term in 1974. It just became popular recently.
