To be fair, most of the cosmos in real life is literally empty. However, realism is overrated. The whole reason we play video games is because real life sucks.
Unless it’s a driving game. Arcade-style racers just aren’t fun. You barely have to use the brakes (if at all), and the AI cheats. I much rather play a racing sim.
I have a sim race setup in my living room and play ACC and compete in iracing events. That being said, you’re not going to tell me Burnout Paradise isn’t fun. It serves a purpose. I don’t go into it looking for ACC level brake temperatures or tire wear, i go into it to drive 150mph around corners and smash into other cars.

I mean, some of us play sci-fi games because we want to experience the reality that’s still out of reach to us.
Not Bethesda products, of course, but, you know. Games.

Otherwise I agree.

To me, the only fun racer is Initial D.
Oh man I totally forgot about that game. Used to play it in the arcade using those mag stripe cards that would save your progress…good times
Sad trackmania noises
Yeah, a lot of people play video games to extend their hobbies.
