I think this is true in most cases. And in the remainder, where the devs self-identify as having made a walking simulator, they are basically art installations, as someone else suggested.
Because that's what your skills are? Because you need to put a roof over your head and you don't have any fancy white-collar education like we take for granted? Most people don't do their job as a “vocation”, they do it because they want to eat.
I mean you did literally ask “Why else would you do it as a living”, so I told you why lol. But okay. I have cleaners in my extended family and it's a very physically tough job that they do because that's the best paid work they're qualified for. Yes, they tend to be naturally tidy people, but they'd rather be doing something else.
I thought I was clear, but that was my point: they don't have any significant formal qualifications, so cleaning is one of the few jobs still available to them. It's not a job that people with advanced degrees choose to do just because they enjoy cleaning.I assure you, also tough if you're not qualified
Shame too many see this and think its funIf it's realistic, should save a lot of naïve people from pursuing their dream life change, thus being a major help to society

I'd play Farming Simulator over a bullet tosser every day. It's not like you have to do any farming. I just hire people, build food processing factories, play the markets, etc. It's more like Farm Management Sim for me.I guess some people like cleaning. Why else would you do is as a living... so you right, what some people find enjoyable leaves others scratching their heads. I have watched videos on people cleaning out drainage pipes & cleaning drive ways, but I have yet to play it as a game. It can be good to compare what the property looked like before to after... it can be a sense of achievement
really, very little difference between that and qix. One just offers a challenge that isn't just the environment
I mean, people play Farming Simulator and I the only thing less appealing to me is walking simulators... I can probably think of worse.... for instance
Autopsy Simulator on Steam
Autopsy Simulator is a first-person horror-sim hybrid where players take on the role of a practice pathologist and study case files, created in collaboration with real-world forensic doctors, to help guide their dissection of anatomically accurate bodies to determine each subject’s cause of death.store.steampowered.com
Meanwhile you play point and click RPGs. It's a shame you think those are fun.Shame too many see this and think its fun
Stardew Valley
You may have missed my point. I wasn't having a go at Stardew Valley itself, I was saying its a farming game that makes it look like a fun job, not that it was a bad game. I have watched people play it before... it looks pretty good... I just don't feel need to play it myself. I watch people play games so I don't have to. Currently watching an Age of Wonders playthrough.
