Why are god games dead?

because fun is dead

They were never alive to begin with.

You're right, the sims series have only sold 1 billion units (Not an exaggeration)

Populous 2 was fun.
But really it's a niche genre to begin with. Sims was just an ingenious idea and even that basically became meh over time.

LOL I think it really came down to Godus being Molyneux's Magnum Turd in the mouth of God game fans

Because the modern audience can't even handle Tetris inventory, what makes you think they can handle any sort of management game?

Peter Molyneux killed an entire genre

I don't know what you're talking about, I'm playing Dwarf Fortress right now.

That's just indirect control strategy. You're a collective mind, not a god in that game.

I am literally the God of Blood, and I don't directly control my dorfs, there is no collective mind.
Did you even play the game?

>>384247083
Godus killed them

>Niche fanbase causes genre to wither to near extinction
>Created in an era before rampant microtransactions which would have allowed them to add fucking continuous new creatures of whatever kind along with new buildings and shit
It could be worse.
