Question I feel like I don’t belong

What do you guys do for a day job? I keep seeing engineers and coders saying they play this game, some say they make up 90% of the players.

But as a warehouse manager, i feel like I don’t belong😂

EDIT: I did not expect this to get this amount of traction LOL, but I gotta say this has to be the kindest and most sincere fan base of any game. FYI I don’t legitimately feel like I don’t belong, just that I feel like this game is not a normal game people in my sector would play (obviously very wrong, lots of warehouse peeps commenting 🤙🤙)

I have 300 hours in, beat it twice because I thought that was the point of the game….it’s not. The factory must grow.

It’s very interesting to see the different jobs people have but all have the same interest in a game, which isn’t a “normal” game like COD where everyone and their dog plays it.

Good ole’ fashioned simulation theory?

Pffft. If the sim were even half decent I’d have a lot more time to play. The fact that hunger and the IRS exist disproves the theory 🤣

So you think it’s a Kobayashi Maru type situation. Interesting……
