Title: Responses to Electron Dance asking The Forbidden question: 'What is a game?'
Post by: droqen on September 24, 2021, 09:50:58 AM
Quote[..] all our overlapping definitions of a game – a challenging or competitive passtime, a voluntary system of rules, win states, fail states, edge cases, learning curves, agon, ludus, product [..]

[The videogame is] not always ludic; it's not always narrative; it's often neither. It means something close to "digital entertainment product for one or more people that may or may not contain some interative systems".
