There is a point at which simulating reality just gets depressing - that is what I learned about myself from that.
Yes, there's something interesting about that. It seems like having a very vivid simulation of taking a beer out of the fridge should be exciting. But as soon as you had it, you would stop caring about it. It's just not fun. Nobody is setting out to make a fridge simulation video game. This level of simulation has very high diminishing returns.
