Well put. I think you should elaborate CapHap's point in your paper, ivank.
I enjoy learning games almost as much as I do playing them. In fact, sometimes it's even more fun. - There's many games I have never really "played" (most of them sim games), but I've read countless manuals and such stuff, or have player training missions over and over. I guess it has something to do with gratification. Maybe sim players want the feeling that they have really "achieved" something, and in order to get this feeling, we actually
expect games to be complicated (if they were easy, anyone could do it
).
