Game designers should keep in mind that their games are a major way how people experience and get a sense of nature. As people no longer stroll outside, their sense of place, of weather, of perspective become impacted by the game design.. Esp. as maps are more or less small, changes in the game environment don't follow people's usual sense of natural space, distance, and perspective. Overblown weather and lighting phenomena are to be added. I don't say that designers should stop their ways, but that they should keep in mind that they are training people's capacity to sense and orientate themselves in natural spaces. VR is the next step.
