The game being good is the most important thing, but it's worth mentioning that the developers of Factorio are BEYOND based - one of the few kinds of people that stood up to SJWs and never backed down or apologised even after massive pressure.
I can give you my perspective.
I live with older family members, who are both highly susceptible to covid. And I'm young, but I'm still in several risk categories. We got the grandmother vaccinated with the Chinese vaccine (conventional vaccine, not weird mRNA bullshit) because she's very old, in her mid 90s, and likely doesn't have to worry about long-term effects (maybe it's cruel to say, but it's true).
Meanwhile, we didn't get the vaccine because it's still a pretty risky proposition and instead of the vaccine, we can just, instead, be careful.
We're not afraid, there's no fear, there's no obedience, there's no compliance. There's only some caution. Me and my family wear a mask because from what we've looked into, it filters out some 10% of the particles that carry the virus. A 10% reduced chance of one of my family members dying is worth it for a bit of inconvenience. We don't wear a mask as a fashion accessory or a talisman, we treat it as the biohazard that it is. We also don't care what other people do, we do what we think is best for ourselves according to the research we've done.
When the virus evolves to be less lethal, when herd immunity (or some level of equilibrium) is reached, or when years of research are done on a conventional vaccine (most likely the Chinese one), I look forward to living 100% normally - although admittedly, I don't actually live any differently except that I wear a mask in public transit (never outside) and only go somewhere if there's an actual reason to.

God, I wish I lived in the west so I could work with someone to do this, and to then split the $50k reward with the person who was helping me. Literally free $25k, while doing NOTHING immoral, and without even committing a crime.
Obviously it comes from tax money, and I'm okay with that (pro-vax, just anti-authoritarianism and pro-honesty and transparency).
But I bet they're going to start trying to manipulate people by making them pay even though the vaccines have already been paid for by tax money.
it just takes one comment to anger a crazy person and then you have to worry about not bringing a mob down upon you to doxx and do God knows what else
Oh hey, it didn't happen to just me? I got posted some time ago on one of those large harassment subreddit (not SRS, a different one), and since I spent the next 24 hours making fun of them in their own subreddit, they got butthurt enough to upvote me to the top. Ended up doxxing some random guy with a vaguely similar background to me and contacting his employer and getting him to private his online accounts.
When I threatened defamation lawsuits (there were accusations of pedophilia because leftists always project) and started reporting them and getting them banned off the site, they quickly deleted the post and the hundreds of hatemails stopped coming in.
They're going woke?? How?
