I have a theory that the more lore a franchise has, the more of an autistic fanbase it has. I made a graphic about it. (lemmy.ml)

So why has Factorio less lore and more autists?

I think its more depth and emergent gameplay intruigue autistic people. Lore is a type of depth people can enjoy so games with it make the world more interesting to explore. But also complex mechanics also work for the same reasons.

Dwarf Fortress is probably a good example of this.

No, i mean, it's contrary to what the title says.
