So, I've logged thousands of hours of Minecraft and recorded and sold hundreds of hours. Everything in Minecraft is trivially renewable. It's easy to get. The core resource scarcity of minecraft is an hour of so of gating. People's predilections towards activity have way more to do than any scarcity.
There are robotic antagonists, but they're clearly not human. There is PvP, but it's window dressing to the building. And uh, I don't think the Nether is very much like Hell at all.
There is a difference between Overwatch or Dota2 and Minecraft. In Minecraft, you do something else and sometimes fight others. In the others, you fight others and might occasionally do something else.
