Why Do Terrible Jobs Make Fun Games? (Video Essay)

Nice

Nice video! 👍

I like this!

Jreg approved video, holey moleey 😮

Something I've thought about this topic:
People innately enjoy the competition of tasks. Games in general, not just video games, are composed of tasks, just like work is.

Games, typically, have no real stakes nor require you to "break your back" for 8 hours, which is why they give the pleasure of labour without the negatives that outweigh the pleasure thus making labour, labour.

Basically what I am saying is that work is enjoyable underneath the weariness, need to participate etc, and that games bring that pleasure but purified.

Cool video man

Nice
