    Hey let me show you my 11ish year long hardcore world. Isn’t that cool check this out and this….

    Times up. You Died. World Deleted.

    11 years of your real like literally wiped away with no choice in the matter. I can’t say there’d be none that try. But I can’t imagine that sitting well with many.

      Same here … but I was imagining a gamer youtuber building an entire community around the life of a minecraft character … documenting everything they’re doing … near misses, near deaths, mine adventures … but mostly watching the character grow old … and the holding a funeral of sorts for the life and death of a minecraft character that a bunch of people would have followed for 11 years.

      It would be like watching your favourite TV character or actor and the following their work over a few years and then realizing that they have to die and life moves on.

      It’s not the typical idea of an ever lasting game with no end … it’s more an admission that these things come and go and we all have a finite lifespan.
