I read on HN a month or two ago that burnout is associated with repeat large scale failures, and the way to recover from burnout is to have repeat small scale success.
Games, such as factorio, can provide you with the small scale successes relatively risk free, allowing you to recover from burnout.
If you consider this from the functional perspective, then it becomes yet another useful tool to the developer.

But they can also provide you with cheap instant "successes" which a depressed person continues to go for, instead of seeking success in the real world.
- dsign 6y agoMore often than not, success in the real world is about keeping focus and avoiding burn out.
