[QUOTE="Stormonu, post: 6044743, member: 52734"] Once again, I think minecraft give some insight into this area. You can put the game in "Survival" mode and turn off the monsters and still have the risk of losing it - to the environment. (By the way, with monsters on, some creatures are still dangerous during the "day'). You can starve to death. You can drown. You can accidentally blow yourself up in mining (No no no! Don't tell me I just left-clicked the dynamite!), or fall into lava (I've done some cussing trying to mine diamond near lava just to accidentally fall to my death). You can simply fall from a great height and take yourself out. Attack or accidentally strike a wolf that normally would ignore you, and you may find yourself being hunted down. You can mine an area to depletion and have to move on (or starve, as above); possibly even abandoning a project because you no longer have the resources. Lightning can burn down wooden structures you've made (and of course, you can burn to death as well; you can even get caught in "wildfires" from lightning striking trees and setting forests ablaze). You can accidentally bury yourself under gravel. You can kill yourself in a cactus maze. An iron golem can kill you if you attack peaceful villagers or steal from them. Or you can even find yourself carried by flowing water into a lightless crevasse and give up on the world in frustration because you're so deep underground in pitch black that you'd have to have the patience of Job to extract yourself (yeah, that's a personal occurrence). And these are just the natural environment - there's a whole additional slew of challenges you open up when you get more than one person in a game and they have different (and not necessarily opposing) goals.
