Does anyone else lose interest when a theme is to "create the greatest..."?
Maybe it's me, but as soon as I'm making the greatest display of china dishes in my hutch to please the Queen, I'm out. It feels artificial in a way I don't experience when you're moving around a world or settling areas or building an engine or whatever. If you switched Wingspan to building a bird sanctuary to please a famous ornithologist, I think I'd enjoy it less.
Edit: I guess Wingspan is a polarizing example. In my mind, the point of it is to create birds that produce eggs efficiently. You're not, for example, designing a fireworks show. I have no issues with people liking games like that. Just wondering if others have noticed that common theme and don't enjoy it either.
