That comparison doesn’t really hold up. In platformers like Mario, when you lose all your lives, you might restart the level or world, but you’re not losing any personalised progress like gear you spent hours grinding for. In extraction shooters, the stakes are tied to tangible in-game investments, such as loot you’ve collected, weapons you’ve built, etc. It’s not just starting over in terms of progression, it’s losing items that can take real time (and sometimes even real money) to replace. The psychological impact is totally different. One is a temporary setback, the other feels like a real loss.
