Seems more like engineers than scientists (strictly speaking).
Comment on Lara Croft games are the nightmare of any real archaeologist, biologist and paleontologist.

Engineering is science.

Scientists construct models from reality; engineers construct reality from models.

That would imply game dev is a science.

That’s engineering, not science. There is no science gameplay, you just have science points that you spend.

So, all that anal probing was, indeed, science? TIL

The implementation of engineering is science. In this case it involves physics, materials, structural, and a bunch of others science disciplines.

Sure, I don’t disagree with what you said. Some will say Applied Science is a category of science, others will say it’s distinct from capital “S” Science. I don’t really care either way, the distinction I was making was: Science is a process of developing knowledge that explains the natural/observable universe, including the humans/societies within it, i.e. a way of understanding what is. Engineering is the application of scientific knowledge, principles, and methods of inquiry in the construction and development of technology–it does not seek to explain things about the world.
