What type of person buys this game?

City people? Like who would want to spend their time doing this in a video game. Just go outside and cut your own grass.

why do you care what people play or do in their own world? how does it benefit you to. it is more than just cutting grass, it isn't deep by any means, but that isn't what they are getting at. plus if you think going outside cutting grass is relaxing then you never cut grass in the real world. that is like telling someone to stop playing sports games and go outside and play the real thing, those are simulations too. or get stranded on an island or some landscape, and survive for real. but then again what do i know, i play lawn simulator and it is pretty fun myself. just worry about what you play, and don't put wasteful energy into what others play, be a man.

People who think they're funny for playing really bad games. Sadly, there are loads of them.

[Preacher]

People who enjoy mowing lawns dont have to mow steep banks and the edges of stony ditches :/

This might come off as mean but it's not intended to be

OP, you have at least 4,000 dollars worth of games in your library and 20,000 hours between them. It's pretty hypocritical to tell people "why not just go outside and mow" when you yourself clearly spend so much time gaming yourself. I'm not knocking on you for your hobby; but clearly you're doing the same thing you are criticizing people that bought this game (or are considering it). Going off of the value of your steam account, you could buy us some mowers if you want us to go outside and mow so bad. Trust me; it'd be appreciated

some of us enjoy landscaping so the theme interests us. personally, I like games where all I have to do is press 1 button and win and this game is perfect for for that. Especially since it takes between 5 to 30 minutes to complete a level, so I can hop on, putz around and mulch someone's perennials, and then hop off

TL;DR it's not nice to criticize people for their hobby. If people want to digital mow, who are they hurting? Aside from their victim's customer's yards, anyway. Why not check it out for yourself when it goes on sale down the road? You might end up enjoying it

Thats part of my question. I am more of an old school "gamer". Im not into these new age concepts of "games". To me this is not a game. Its a chore.

Im not criticising, Im simply baffled at why seemingly intelligent people would not want to do this for real.

Simulators are meant for people who can NOT do the real thing. Plane sims, train track laying sims, car sims, management sims. These are all things that require much time in real life to learn and do.


These "new age" sims its basically any ol activity turned into a "simulator."

Like the one gentleman said I feel these type of game prey on depressed people or something.

Why would anyone in their right mind want to do this in a game instead of going out, buying a mower. Or get a job at a mowing company. It just baffles me and I was hoping for some insight other than "Its a chill game"

My account is worth over 12k BTW :)

I ask myself the same thing. Why don't I join a mercenary group and help free a county of a dictatorship?

My account is more than double yours.

For myself, I grew up in a house a lot like the cottage in the starting contract, and actually used to work in landscaping - the house had to be sold and I now live in a small house in a town with no lawns, work indoors as an artist and spend most of my free time gaming - for me, this is both relaxing and a nice bit of reminiscence.
Also, it's amazing how menial jobs become so much more appealing when you do them virtually, while sitting in a chair in comfort, without having to worry about mosquito bites, back ache, rain, heatstroke, hayfever, difficult clients or any of the other things that make garden maintenance work less than idyllic! It's a good simulator, but still irons out a lot of the usual flies in the ointment (for one thing, nobody would really pay £450 for someone to spend 25 minutes cutting their grass!). It's life on easy mode. :)

The Entitled -- doing anything BUT actual work.

I don't own the game (yet).

I'm a fairly oldschool gamer. HOwever, the games I have problems with playing - as in, I try to avoid them - are not casual games, but games with microtransactions, lootboxes, that sort of thing. (I found a treasure chest in-game and you want me to pay real money to open it?!?) What's wrong with you!?).

Now, I've been fairly dubious of this sort of game. Game engines these days come with a lot of resources, and I've seen more than a few asset flips with barely any coding in them sold as games. These low-effort jokes are, frankly, an insult to their audience, and I've stayed clear of them.

This is not, I think, one of those.

Neither does it have lootboxes or similar shenanigans.

In the end, it is a career/business management game, much like any other. The unusual thing is it's based on lawnmowing, which, while relaxing, still is skill-based. As such, it's a fair game. More wholesome than shooting things all day. That it is an activity it is possible to do in real life has never been much of a disqualifying criteria, just look at sports games.

As someone who actually does this for a living and uses these brands in real life, I can understand the sort of zen feeling that mowing and getting your lines completely perfect can be. That being said, I don't own the game nor would it interest me to play, but I find it fascinating that people are coming home from work to play this, when I'm coming home from THIS to play "real" games or traditional sims.

[Tormènt]

I get that this can be sort of like a zen rock garden thing.
I had a laugh thinking I used to get paid to mow lawns, but now I can pay to mow lawns.

I think this game is only worth 5 maybe 10 tops.

Power Washer Simulator on the other hand, I paid full price for that ♥♥♥♥, love it.

Why do some people like meth? Why do some people become alcoholics? Why do some people like porn?

Why do some players enjoy playing Call of Duty?
Why do some players enjoy playing Skyrim?
Why do some players enjoy playing MSFS?

I have a few thousand acres of land, cows, pigs, horses, chickens. I have a riding mower and tractors. I have a pressure washer, and lots of stuff that needs pressure washed.

However, I choose to spend my evenings playing video games. Sometimes, it is a nice chill game like this, driving a riding mower in circles. Sometimes, it is playing pressure washer simulator. (haven't tried the new plane update yet). Sometimes it is farming simulator, sometimes it is a more intense game. I do enjoy stupid games like this, and there is nothing else to say there, really. It is nice and enjoyable when I don't want a more intense game. No thinking required. Just mindless driving in circles.

Is this for everybody? No, some people need that constant winning feeling CoD or other games gives when you are on a winning streak. You can buy the game and refund it if it isn't your cup of tea. Or you can just not buy it, no big deal.

[Salt Kreeks]

Well this is something to do when you don't need to mow grass like every 1 or 2 weeks
