Transgressive gameplay experiences

Le résumé fourni par la source

Chapter 5 looks into one of our central terms, the fallacy of play, through a discussion of how the players in our studies tackle transgressive game experiences in the gameplay context. With insights from play theory and reversal theory, we look at how the player respondents in our studies engage with potentially transgressive content in games. The chapter investigates how the respondents deal with situations that are uncomfortable or provocative, or that otherwise challenge their sensibilities and discusses the specific mitigation techniques employed by the player respondents. We show how the findings in this chapter supports our argument that play indeed can be serious and uncomfortable, and that this is central for understanding how players tackle transgressive content in games.
