Shitposting aside, why can you make a fun game where we don't have adversaries, antagonists, villains, heroes and virtues but we cant make fun books and movies with those elements out?

strong narratives rely on those things to stand on their own legs. Videogames are primarily based around interactivity and so aren't necessarily beholden to a narrative for their entertainment value. By contrast, literature and movies are passive entertainment and can only rely on narrative for their entertainment value.

Do not you consider gameplay mechanics like scores and losing an antagonist in contrast of you, the player the protagonist fighting against them?
Lucas Nelson
A story needs a conflict. Otherwise you get a plot aimed at young children.

But can you have interactivity without an opposing force?
Brody Johnson
Is it even possible not to have a conflict in a story? post 5 games that do this
Kevin Jones
You can. Look for the type of plot where it’s protagonist vs self rather than protagonist vs rival. There’s plenty of fun shows without antagonists. Cardcaptor Sakura barely had an antagonist, the whole plot was for her to get out of her comfort zone. And there are many shows like this too. Yuru Camp is a really nice show without a villain either, it’s about a girl facing challenges of camping and goign to farther campsites.

But all those examples you gave had antagonists.

Entropy runs the fastest in video games.

The opposing force with interactivity is physics and game design

Why are modern humans like this? Is it because of fried dopamine receptors?

Seek knowledge about post scarcity in the great empires of the past.

No one is this picky, wether they believe it or not. They'll enjoy what they've had before.
There are books like that though. I guess in a meta sense the antagonist would be your boredom though.

Because games don't necessarily require "humanistic objects" in them.
It's just requires "objects" at least.

Sure you can. Take a look at Barbie or Sesame Street games.

Otherwise you get either surrealist nonsense or you get surrealist children's nonsense.
Btw, there are surrealist nonsense shows out there.
And educational documentaries on things like maths and physics. Do they count as movies?
