- Where’s the giant creature? If I can’t have a 100ft tiger throw its faeces at villagers, I’m not interested.

yay, Colonialism Simulator 🥴

If murder isn't an option its not realistic
- From the blurb:
  Sacrifice them to summon a mortal or kill them and use their corpses to resurrect some zombies!
  That being said:
  I'm not totally sure that realism is necessarily the best complaint when it comes to the capabilities of a god in a god game.
  It seems like one could issue that complaint about most games. I don't think any, say, tennis games let you murder your opponent, though that's clearly at least a possibility in real life.
  
  Sports game based around cheating (including murdering opponents) and covering it up could be fun
  
  What people usually mean when they try to complain about realism in something that is based on fantasy is that it isn't verisimilitudinous. Things should seem self consistent given the rules the fiction has established.

Wololo

A sale directly upon early-access release is never a good sign
- For what it's worth, sales upon early access release (or even 1.0 release) is somewhat common in the indie scene.
  I believe the goal is to try and convert as many wishlists into sales.
  
  Im not 100% sure if this is true but I've been told its due to steams email policy.
  They'll email everyone when a wishlist game goes on sale and they also email everyone when a game has a 15% or more sale. Doing a 15% sale on launch doubles the chance of people seeing the emails.
- ...That's extremely common. Tons of games have launch day sales
