We've also disrupted this with younger kids. They never really get to play without adults in the mix.
I think this is actually one of the reasons why Minecraft was so successful, especially with kids. It gave them a way to explore the wilderness (also rare these days) and a way to interact without adult supervision. They got to be masters of their domain and learn how to cooperate and resolve disputes among themselves.
