Comment on All Work and No Play (how video games imitate labor)

Short answer: games give us what real life refuses to give us anymore.
Autonomy, Mastery, Purpose.
They give us autonomy to complete things how we see fit in the frameworks given. They give us an opportunity to master a set of skills. Finally, the story gives us purpose and drive to continue the “work.”

This is partly why it’s been so hard for me to leave my job, haha; my higher-ups fully let me create, find, and/or use any tools I prefer to get the job done.
