    You don’t get better if the game breaks the mechanics to prevent you from getting feedback for your actions, and yes, that’s exactly why I can’t tolerate Mario Kart.

      Well, not everyone plays games to get better. If I can enjoy the game, then what does it matter if games lets me think I am better than I actually am?

      It’s your right to like or dislike any features. Just as it’s our right to like or dislike any features. There is no objectively good or bad in it.

      If you like self-improvement then why do it at something useless like a game? Maybe the people like to use the game to take a break from the time they spend on improving actually productive skills in their life.

        That’s literally what play is and why our brains do it. It’s exploration and learning in an imagined world.

        Anything without a continuous ability to explore different decisions and their consequences is tedious and mind numbing. Mario Kart is less fun than watching paint dry.
