Nah, I’m being snarky. It’s a comparison of a couple of games (like Settlers and Banished) to what’s actually known about life in mediaeval times. Notable differences are that in reality people didn’t have much to eat, also due to tithes by the church, whereas in games your entire goal is achieving huge (food) surpluses.

Also, in games you often build a town center and then start building further buildings quite organically, whereas in actuality towns were planned based on the surroundings.

The article is actually pretty interesting, not at all ‘stop having fun’ as another commenter’s meme here is saying. Though it doesn’t discuss Manor Lords.
