I agree with the observations that you are pitted against nature in factorio, have to kill the bugs and claim territory from them. I've made those observations myself. I disagree on the conclusion though (seems to be a half sentence at the end that they indicate it's harmful). This concept makes the game more truthful about what's actually happening here on earth. Because this is what we currently do. We are an extinction event for a large number of species (except for the subset of hemerophiles), and have been for large parts of our existence (why did the megafauna suddenly disappear? because we LOVED to hunt them). I think the game is very helpful in teaching people this relationship, and every individual can draw their own conclusions from that. Also, the main story of the game is actually good for nature in the long term. The TLDR is that you are stranded on the planet and want to build a rocket so that you can leave it and get home. If you believe that humans are a threat to nature, there is no better solution for it than us leaving earth and turning it into a national park, like Bezos suggests. If we build our rockets one day, we can leave earth behind and let nature recover.
