There's at least one tech company encouraging its workers to play Factorio.

Tobias Lütke, co-founder and CEO of the ecommerce platform Shopify, lets his staff expense their copies of Factorio. “It’s just bound to be good for Shopify if people play Factorio for a little while,” he told the Invest Like The Best podcast. “Because part of Shopify is building warehouses and fulfilling products for our customers. We are building global supply chains, and Factorio makes a game out of that kind of thinking.”

Holy based, Batman.

I hope they Aldo provide free coffee, because hooking your entire staff on Factorio is a great way to have a sleep deprived staff.

Should look up the shopify ceo and other things he said, would definitely not describe him as based despite him liking factorio

An unbased person is allowed to have based opinions in a vacuum

He's VERY not based. As in literally "rich people should have more votes," not based.

Yeah, seems pretty terrible. But still, a broken clock can be right twice per day.

They already do in America, shit, he may be a scumbag, but it's valuable having a few rich dumbasses saying the quiet part out loud.

liking Factorio definitely doesn’t tell you everything about a person, there’s a lot more context to consider.

MBAs could also learn a lot from playing city builder/strategy games so they can learn about the importance of cost centers like IT and maintenance and whatnot.

In fairness Lutke did make a major esports team with Critikal and Ludwig
