    Do this to get that to get this to get that One example is the Minecraft tech tree. Abosultely no choice whatsoever. I don’t ever need to make a choice. Obviously Minecraft is now begining to take steps to sort this out. But it’s been over 10 years and the system is ingrained into people’s minds

      Huh always felt that Minecraft had a very horizontal game play loop. As in getting a certain upgrade never had you jumping though that much hoops. The only get this for that kinda thing i can think about are the tools/armour, which does have a bit if progression you are forced to go through. Modded Minecraft on the other hand…

        I wasn’t refering to minecraft as a whole, just the tech tree - obviously thats vague. I meant the tools and armour etc
