I don't think otherwise. As I said, it's not about the game itself but the people who play it. No, a 'sim' is not a true simulator, but attempts to recreate the 'feel' of actually being there, whereas the 'game' has as its main purpose to have fun. People who are serious about 'sims' are more likely to enjoy the bad as well as the good, the boredom as well as the excitement.
I'm not challenging or criticizing the people who prefer either one; just pointing out what I believe to be the difference.
Of course I'm as biased as anyone.
