Well, that was the "other" thing stated, "They opted to underestimate 
what players "wanted" from the game, to such an extent that they made it 
"too" simple.

One thing for certain though, they failed in the science department 
entirely, in that the game resembles more the "directed evolution via 
magic god like being", than anything that a real system produces, and 
thus propagates the very misconceptions that a lot of people would 
bloody wish everyone from game makers to movie makers, to the news media 
would ***stop*** telling people was "evolution". lol
