I've never played Factorio and have no particular opinion on its value as an interview method, but I assume some of whatever value it has comes from forced team interaction rather than anything inherent in the game. I have turned down an interview because of Diablo. I got recruited a couple times by a startup that would have been a very good fit for me. The first time it was quite small and I chatted with the CEO about possible roles and product directions and such, but I'd just quit a long term job and eventually decided that I wanted to take a break for a while. The second time was years later after it had grown a lot and gotten tons of funding over multiple rounds. As it happens, the CTO was also a friend-of-a-friend. When the Diablo 3 beta came out, I played a bit with him and our mutual social circle, and he demonstrated enough personality traits during that brief experience that I decided I wasn't interested in socializing with him more, and just turned down the recruiter after checking to see that he was still the CTO. I would have at least discussed it further if he wasn't specifically in a leadership position.
