The play-centric approach sounds an alternative way for game theory. When playing a game, the mindsets of the players might not concentrate on interpreting the story. Instead, they want to play, no matter to complete the mission or compete with the opponent.

Celia Pearce mentioned that the game-to-movie adaptation has repeatedly failed, but the reverse adaptation has been slightly more successful. I wonder if the mindsets of the players will be different when they watch a movie adapted from a game. In the cinema, they will expect to see the characters adapted from the game “in a certain narrative”. Combining games and films can be only considered as a marketing strategy. Will the players adjust themselves into the different mindsets when dealing with these two media?
