It makes sense. People want something calm and soothing to play from time to time. It's basically why the Euro/American Truck Simulator is so successful.
Wanna know what I've been playing when I'm into something calm and brainless? Disney Dreamlight Valley. I'm not even ashamed. It's a good game for when I just want to do nothing and rest my brain.
You joke but you ever been to a tractor pull? Those are some really fun events. Put that into this game and you'll get all your farm folk playing this game
