Proposal: Minecraft survival. It’s the ultimate game in my opinion. Players can do whatever they want, no matter what consequences those might bring. In many ways it is the epitome of the American dream. Capitalist ideology seems to build the mechanics of the game, as players can be as successful or as poor as they want. It all depends on how much work they put in.
