Yes, I recently finished Spec Ops the Line. I absolutely loved it.
I really love the destroyed Dubai as the stage for a game, it’s really iconic.
I was just wondering if there is a possibility that something like that might happen IRL? Of course, it looks like the sandstorm that destroyed in the game was massive, but is it possible? Or is more probable that the sea drowns the city when the sea levels rise up?
To be clear, I’m not wishing for the destruction of any mayor city. Just wondering if it’s a realistic scenario.
If Dubai was left without any kind of human maintenance then eventually the desert would destroy a lot of it. A lot of the coast line of the popular tourist areas in Dubai are man made with sand transferred from other locations which I suspect isn’t as long lasting as natural coast lines. Eventually the ocean would probably wash this away as well.
Who knows how long this would take though. If humans completely disappeared then maybe we would see a building fall over in 50-100 years.
