    The Germans united to get the Simulator game to the top, so they can work in a game, after they get home from work.

      Seriously what is up with the German love for sim games? I’ve tried the farming sim and truck driving sim and it just feels like having an extra job that I don’t get paid for.

        well for people who enjoy those work itself, it’s essentially living a fantasy where you actually get rewards for doing a good job.

        I can’t tell you exactly what it is, but simulation games are nearly always satisfying for me

        Probably because it’s a sped up, consequence free, approximation of the real thing, without any of the entry cost but with a similar satisfaction for succeeding

        And like, it’s not like other mechanically complex games are really that different. All a game is, aside from the story and art part of it, is problem solving and surpassing obstacles
