We are all the same but different, and if you take away the choice to be different As I see it, then its not longer a game any more and it become more of a story telling.
And when it comes to story telling I prefer to read a real book or see a good movie. (About movies and games, yesterday I watch, Ready Player One - Director: Steven Spielberg, it was fun, I can recommend it.)
StationmasterDev said that the game is going to be a X4 game, which I will really enjoy to play, but if you remember Free Citys it started the same way, all those -ism the game where going to have and more, all disappear at the end.
@Sengai I like to call it Great Manager, but you have right I'm a paternalist too
