No one wants to escape to Mars, why are even full game studios thinking this?

2 games at notE3 have included this in their trailers. I somewhat understand random comments online thinking this since it's repeated everywhere, but you'd think someone involved in these trailers would know better.

The expanse shows a somewhat realistic somewhat dystopian version of the future that people could easily latch onto but nope, it's almost always just the made up thing about escaping to Mars.

Literally no one involved in any push for Mars believes life there will be easier than life here. Even with runaway climate change, ww3 nukes, and a giant asteroid impact, Earth would still be nicer than Mars and everyone involved knows that.

What are the games?

Well that was spooky watching those.

I assume because these things don't have to be accurate, and because Mars is relatable.

But it's kind of spooky watching those two trailers hit on several of the same tropes.
