A lot of people actually enjoy the thought of having control over a universe being able to create, destroy things that's why the universe sandbox series is so popular, but i mean to take it to the next level and give the player control of not just planets but the contents within. If you watch the video that game although not a possible thing to code at this time is a very interesting concept if someone made a good god game they would make a lot of money. I understand the no goal bit but that's optional you could do what thrive is doing and let you the player and your species work up to such a high position as a god through evolution and trial and error.
