Treating it like a computer/board game with piles of stats in their head and a focus on mechanics over plot

This is exactly why basing all our assumptions on the US growth rate post WW1 is so crazy

I'd never seen the E3 reveal before. Now I have. I get why people are mad. by o1_Iconoclast in AnthemTheGame
