> Factorio pretty much founded the factory video game genre
I feel very nerd sniped by this one! Factorio was heavily influenced by minecraft mods like industrialcraft2 which create factories inside of minecraft. Here's the factorio creator discussing it in 2013 <a href="https://forum.industrial-craft.net/thread/8845-factorio/" rel="nofollow">https://forum.industrial-craft.net/thread/8845-factorio/
As usual, the ouroboros of culture continues, and now minecraft mods spend lots of time imitating factorio, as well as iterating from the same original seeds.

Can't forget dwarf fortress, the freeware game that inspired Minecraft. Written by two Asperger's brothers. It was super heartwarming when, after times they had to stop working on the game and move down lawns to make a living, they finally published on steam and became independent.

I haven't followed Dwarf Fortress in awhile but don't they have a publisher now?
