You're defined by how you play the game, not by the game itself.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Well, I think most people understand that there's a big difference between who you are and who, you know, you play.
A game is defined by the players' strategy domains and payoff functions.
There's a difference between fair game and playing games.
There's a difference between the parts that I play and who I am and who people think I am. There's quite a big discrepancy sometimes between those things.
My philosophy about the game, for instance, is that you have players out there who really do different things.
When you're doing a play, you don't always have a practical world that you're working off of. You have to create it for yourself.
There is a vast difference between games and play. Play is played for fun, but games are deadly serious and you do not play them to enjoy yourself.
When you play a videogame, you could be a completely different person than you are in the real world, certain aspects of the way your brain works can be leveraged for something you could never do in the real world.
It's not what you play but what you leave out that makes the difference.
You should never be defined by what you do, by the things you have; you've got to define yourself by who you are and who you impact and how you impact people. And that's the thing I try to get across to my players.
