minecraft itself is a blank slate until the player or modder or whatever puts all that intentionality in.

its a very dead game on its own. they are still very intentional about adding and changing the tools by which you make your own fun though.

> Like for instance... Dwarf Fortress? Minecraft?

DF for some doesn't fit into this category for me. Minecraft feels dead to me, while many other games that utilize procedural generation are not.
