The fantasy that players are choosing to play for their “escapism” directly lines up with what they are.
Ehh, I mostly play interesting (alt-)historical situations. A lot of it is stuff like re-forming old empires. Stuff I would absolutely oppose in real life. It’s not really ideological for me, it’s mainly about forming interesting borders.
I never play games for escapism. I play them because they’re like complex puzzles to be solved. These people are always telling on themselves.
Alt-history stuff is usually in the strategy category. To me, it’s more about min-maxing communist Turks to destroy the inferior British and their population of filthy casuals.
