I didn't think it was 'irony.' I'm pretty sure there's a large population of people out there that actually like it. It will be interesting to see how it fairs in a new market. It might have enjoyed a boost to steam sales because older age groups already had PCs, whereas console is definitely a younger market.

We're going to have to disagree on this, since, at least from my perspective, farming simulator was nothing but some inexplicable 'thing that exists' on Steam before it and train simulator exploded on Youtube. Since then niche games have gotten more appeal and '360 no-scope corn shot' is now a cultural thing. You gift this or train simulator to someone as a gag gift, or you're one of the people I don't understand paying $2000 for all the DLC.

There's a lot not present in consoles and console culture.
I dunno, maybe as an arcade game?

I don't speak for everybody that owns Farming Simulator, but i bought myself the game, it is a fun, slow paced and relaxing game, i find it fun and so do some of my friends, we boot it up together and play multiplayer it is a fun game to play and is fun with friends, not everybody buys simulator games to go "LULZ LOOK AT DIS GAME ME MAKE IRONY VID FOR LULZ!".

Actually there are some that do like simulators. I bought a few of the trainz games by Auran. Don't assume that because your only interest in blood and gore that others don't like something different.

I didn't make any judgements about the games or the people that genuinely like the concept except that I do not understand who would buy thousands of dollars of virtual trains (and I stand by that). Don't make assumptions.

What I was actually saying is that the anthropological reasons for Farming Sim's success may not be present on consoles.

My apologies I misread what you wrote. Although I only spent $30 max per game ($10 for the first one), and have 3 so I haven't gone into the thousands and can understand the confusion there. Personally I like Trainz since I've always wanted to make a model railway but space and money doesn't allow this, Trainz (with it's excellent world builder) allows me to fulfill this interest in a more feasible way atleast until I get my own place. I would suspect even those that spend thousands do so for the space reason as well.

Trainz is on Android (and I assume iOS), does that count? I'm serious too:

Ok i'm confused, have i missed out on something, i've seen this game pop up now and again but i honstly can't tell whether this is a joke or people are being serious, is actually a fun game(for people not into farming) or are people just trying to fuck with some consumer research departments.

I'll never tell.
