She didnt compare to actual evolution if not the time but, i see what your saying but, again she wants to put the feeling of a gamer into real life. Because we dont have people that give us pats on the back a lot. i mean look at school teacher get worst in my experience and kids are cruel. Also, even when we receive a promotion we dont really get much, sometimes we don't gain anything its just a title

the only way to find out, is to try it out.
a game doesn't have to be a distarction from real life, you can play and learn some facts about real life a the same time, that's something which depends on programmers, for example there's a game on AG called "brain wave" which i find quite fun and healthy for the brain. and actually there are many simulators games. when i learned how to drive the first month or so i drove on a simulator, which helped me a lot.

p.s.
