That I get, the part about farming and such.But with games like Harvest Moon and Stardew Valley is not just about that.There is also the part were you can relation with people, a bit of combat in stardew side, and its all fantasy, so I guess that there is also more there(never played them).

Farming simulator in the other hand, I speculate that there is nothing of the sort, just the part of the management of the farm(dont know for certain since I never played it).And being a simulator, it tries to be as realistic as possible, so it isnt as straightfoward as I think the other games are.

Well, I dont know.Since Im not much of a fan of those types of games, it could be that I just dont understand the appeal.But a farming simulator to me sounds so boring.

Think of Harvest Moon vs. Farming Simulator in the way of Mario Strikers vs. FIFA. The former has to be good for people to enjoy it, but the latter can sell even when it's garbage, because there is demand for games based on real life properties. FIFA has definitely been rubbish for the majority of its existence, but that never stopped it from selling. From what I've heard of Farming Simulator, it's rubbish every year, but it has officially licensed vehicles and machines.

You can also look at games that are based on movies or TV shows. The quality is more often than not questionable if not worse, but people want to buy games that are based on something that they already know from a non-video game source.

It's common among people who are really into video games that they skip licensed games of all sorts.

Well, makes sense.Nothing like good marketing and brands to sell games I guess.
