I thought the ‘Germans love work simulators’ thing was just a joke.

Nope, it’s real. There’s a huge market for games like Police Simulator, Bus Simulator, and even Construction Simulator.

Wait, what do you even do in Police Simulator?

Mostly giving out speeding tickets.

Probably ticketing jaywalkers or something.

Farming Simulator is huge at Gamescom. But Skull and Bones in the top 20? Who even bought that?

Maybe they like simulating being pirates too?

@Jordan
Possibly, but Skull and Bones is more arcadey. Sea of Thieves feels closer to a sim.

True, but Skull and Bones is newer. Could just be the novelty factor.
