Both celebrate industrialization and the exploitation of the natural world as heroic undertakings without any regard to the value of nature.

Knowing what I know today about the environmental destruction caused by industry (up to and including the global climate crisis), I have decided to skip these games. Even though the core gameplay loop of management & expansion very much appeals to me.

Thinking of checking out Terra Nil. Has anyone here played that?

You can do things in games which you should absolutly not do in RL..

Go for it. play these amazing games!

Its only these who cant differenciate between real and virtual who will judge you for playing it.
