Not everyone has the opportunity to become an astrophysicist, nor should everyone in the world become an astrophysicist. Many, many people staff the shops, factories, warehouses, mines, construction sites, farms and logistics chains society needs to function. Everyone needs a way to unwind, and finding an escape in a game that is set in an imaginary science fiction future is as valid as watching TV, surfing, or reading.
