You're too old and jaded [1]. It's for kids inventing infinite worlds to role play and adventure. They're going to have a blast.

[1] Not meant as an insult. Working professionals don't have time for this stuff.

Object permanence and a communications channel is enough for this. Give children (who get along with each other) a pile of sticks and leave them alone for half an hour, and there's half a chance their game will ignore the sticks. Most children wouldn't want to have their play mediated by the computer in the way you describe, because the ergonomics are so poor.

Why don't working professionals have time for entertainment?

And are working people not always professionals?
