Yes but more importantly reward. If you spend time dig into a game system, you will be rewarded by the system. Whereas life, you can do everything right and still lose.

You forgot to be born rich and beautiful. That's the thing you did wrong.

The world has a justice problem. Imo we are not vigilant enough to weed out injustice when it happens. Justice is what also rewards you for doing good. Do good in a job, get promotion. Do bad, get demotion or get fired. Even in school most teachers have their darlings and don’t care about those struggling. At least the schools I‘ve seen so far.

Games promote very good reward systems that we fail to use as grownups for things that actually matter instead of raking in money for investors.
