Randomness and Expectations in Games

"I think it's super bizarre to me that you can have a weird thing to do with randomness and expectations," says Card of darkness creator. " output randomness obscures the learning process in games like roguelikes or multiplayer shooters where your only reward is getting better at the game", he adds. A lot of people say they want external structures because they don't want to only be rewarded for their efforts, but players who are good at learning often find them more appealing than those who aren't as well-versed on certain systems.
