The Nature of Games

The Nature of Games

On this episode we cover “The Nature of Games.”

What is a game? What makes a game? Games have been part of human history for many  ears. But do we even know what we are playing? What makes them fun, interesting, unique, and engaging? A game is a participatory activity where people play for pleasure and without a specific purpose. But can you really say that? Do people really play games without a specific outcome? I know that I play games to have fun, but does that mean that they aren’t serious? Does that mean that my hobby isn’t something as worthwhile as someone else’s?
