Interesting that this may be visible in the gaming world. Many complex games can pose complex circumstances that require preparation, training, equipment, and cooperation in order to perform certain tasks. Oddly enough, these are not the most popular challenges, and many prefer to spend time with Candy Crush or play in the complex environments while only taking on a small fraction of available challenges. It seems that for many players the appeal of gaming comes in part from being able to spend time in situations where competition is simple and hierarchies are relatively short and flat.
