    You can’t really make a point about reality by making a game. A game is a list of rules. You can adjust these rules however you like to see which players perform closest to what you think is the best way to play, and you can also sit and watch as all of those rules are cheesed because there’s no external factors to consider.

    The game is gonna prop up whatever the developers think is right and be completely meaningless in the grand scheme of things.

    Games should aim to be fun. I’m gonna get back to helldivers to deliver some managed democracy to alien scum!
