Oh, no question about it, but if I was the designer of Life, I'd do some balancing patches. Life is more like a hardcore mode, permadeath simulated roguelike/soulslike game. You're born, you get assigned a random class and random buffs and debuffs, and that's it. The rest is up to you. Git gud. I'd make it more like an RPG. There are a lot of mechanics in an RPG that Life doesn't have: retries, character customization, skill trees, classes, roles, visible progress bars, etc. Of course, it's all a metaphor and I understand the idea behind it, I just don't like it very much. Even in games, the vast majority of people them on Normal difficulty. Permadeaths are for streamers and professional gamers.
@@WarTeaFounder intriguing but i disagree. my perspective is you do have custimization skill trees and classes. but since you spawned in with gatcha you have to discover and enhance them. like the nerd who leaves highschool and becomes a man
@@TheTricksterCalv Oh for sure, you can change and improve. I didn't mean to say skill trees don't exist, the thing is that in games you have a clear path towards them. A very clear path. For example, you need 1 skill point to learn that skill, and after you learn it, you're a master at it. In life, you learn something, and if you don't use it you lose it. Not only that, but you also don't know exactly what you need to do to learn that skill. For someone else it might take 1 skill point, while for you it might be 100. In other words, in games you will go through the exact same path to become a master. No such thing exists in real life. As games become more and more realistic, my theory is that in the future that will be an entire genre dedicated to real life simulations, but games that simplify life's complications will always exist. There's a reason we like games so much, and it's because they are different from life in a lot of ways.
For me I see it as if life was easy or simple it’d be boring

Brother this life is only one level in the game of the universe
A really small one at that.
