As such, he goes on to endorse “work” video games akin to PowerWash Simulator, Automotive Simulator, Home Flipper, and Cookie Clicker. Principally, video games that do not provide up what many would deem ‘conventional’ recreation mechanics, however are however enjoyable to play in their very own means.
Sakurai breaks down the similarities between these video games as follows:
- Actual-world inspiration
- Revenue concerned
- You get sucked in

With the final one specifically, Sakurai explains that some of these video games won’t have a transparent aim in thoughts or a concrete ending to work towards, however they’re however tough to place down when you get invested.
He ends the video by stating:
“I like these form of video games, myself. I actually do get drawn in. Until I drive myself to cease, I will not put the controller down. I am actually going out on a limb right here… However perhaps it is doable that I like to work?”
Sure. Sure, we might say that you simply in all probability do, Sakurai-san.
