- User agency = all games are simulation, but not all simulations are games. In games people receive impact as the result of their choiceEpistemic viewpoint = a game has an epistemic frame thus a person learns within a site-specific context, its not representative of the real world but it can be a practice media for decision making and reaction practice Self expression: player act as someone else, as the ball in pinball and as the mouth in packman, this provide practice of embodiment. Filling somebody else’s shoesSocial networking = gamers talk and discuss as more and more games go online
- Playing games just like working out, increase adrenaline, and it increase passion to one another. Nobody play to loose 56% men play to win, and 80% women choose to win than to worry their date might took off
