  • It can be the only way to punish people in certain games.
    If there’s no punishment for failure, there’s no reason to respect any dangers the game presents.
    In Minecraft, what should happen if you walk north for an hour and die? If you respawn with your inventory, why not just do that again and die as a quick way to get back? Why even bother with equipment or food at that point? Suddenly, half the game mechanics have lost their meaning, and there’s a lot less to do for the player.
