@anisupersonic: Obviously there are differences (fantasy mobs eg zombies, endermen etc) but even that still replicates the pursuit of survival against predators 🥸 We are still hunters at heart! (edit:😆 i think people are misunderstanding this as my want for people to return to primality and animalism, this video was more so referring to the unconscious ancient biological systems in your brain that make you inclined to play, and hooked the further you progress through them with further reward :D no i do not think we should all be caveman, but it is fascinating how thousands of years of humans existing in those conditions shaped your modern brain today!!!) This vid is one of my favourites i have made. Analysing minecraft alongside my love for evolutionary theories was amazing #Minecraft #arksurvival #minecrafter #evolution #videoessay

asdam :

I don't think it's because of our ancestors I think movies and media glorified the idea of living off the land Everyone wants to sit around a campfire or build a cabin in the woods Then you try it in real life and realize how hard it is or that it's illegal unrealistic or just impossible for most people Video games remove those barriers They make building a house starting from nothing and creating your own world feel normal and achievable That's why Minecraft isn't really about survival Survival is just the first step The real appeal is building a life building a civilization or whatever your imagination comes up with And this doesn't stop at games It's the same reason people love writing novels drawing or creating anything The satisfaction doesn't come from surviving It comes from surviving long enough to build what's in your imagination

Jo Dempsey :

Is this why we get the famous Two Week Minecraft Phase every now and again? Do we just CRAVE this feeling our ancestors had daily?

Saying "We are still hunters at heart!", completely ignores our other parts, that lead to technology and stuff. Think about story games, set in magical worlds, it's our drive for wonder. Or what about sandbox/sim games, it's our drive for innovation. OR what about competitive games, and you guessed it! It's our drive for competition and self improvement. Survival games utilizes our drive for innovation, wonder and self improvement (Or everything else, depending on the game). THIS, is why I think they click so well with us, not because everyone secretly wants to live in a stone world. Think about it this way: Nowadays, going on a camping trip, isn't truly about reliving the stone age, but for the wonder and self improvement. You simply can't separate survival from all of the other things that kept us going.
