Funnily enough, those two games uncannily reflected the reality those kids were born into - both were infamous for constant danger presented by other players and ruthless difficulty where you could lose everything in any given moment.</text></comment>

Fun times, automating farming gives you time to play politics, but managing a top 3 tribe was kind of a full time job even when you don&amp;#x27;t have to grind.</text></comment>
