It&#x27;s my personal opinion, but I find optimizing games for fun directly makes them very shallow. In case of a sim game, I&#x27;d much prefer it to be hard due to an accurate simulation, than simplified to improve enjoyment. The former can actually teach you something, and you can also apply real-world knowledge to improve your chances.<p>But then again, I&#x27;m a weird player who likes things like Dwarf Fortress and considers Kerbal Space Program to be the best space game ever made.
