      I read an article recently where a sample of teenagers were asked to play games and one of the several questions that were asked was, what do you expect to get out of a game.
      And answers given were, in ascending order:

      – Play for Excitement
      – Expect to Win Easily
      – Pay to Win
      – Play for Pleasure
      – Expect a Challenge

      When asked why do you play games, 50% of the girls and 25% of the boys said, “Because I’m bored” (with 30% of those being ‘bord’, ‘board’ or ‘boerd’ :( )

      Is this a typical representation??

      I play (multiplayer) games because it provides me an oppportunity to try and tactically out-think another person in an artificial world which has an established set of rules that I can use to lead me to victory.

      I play single player games (and only very rarely) because I enjoy the story that unfolds as I play them.
