This convo I had highlights the difference in what "respect your time" means in games.
A lot of players want to trade time for in-game progress. It's purely transactional: 1 hour = 1 progress
But I want to feel like my actions matter i.e. what I do with time creates progress, not time itself.

Saw this RPG evolution chart on reddit. Been there, tried to map it like this... it's just not worth it.

It's crazy how the GBA library is like a dozen all-time bangers and 800 games based on failed media franchises where you roam around barren isometric environments finding 5 different kinds of collectibles

We are still paying for the early days of game studies as a field where games/play were heavily mystified as a special objective world of "rules" and "systems" rather than a much more subjective space of expression.
When did game studies start? & what & WHO is at the core of game studies? Fields are defined as much by what they are NOT as by what they are & their borderlands can be hotly contested spaces.
