Answer 1

Sutton-Smith, in his model, The ambiguity of play to understanding video games, sees games as finite, fixed, and goal-oriented.

The Ambiguity of Play

• Sutton-Smith describes seven "rhetorics" of play—ideologies that have been applied to explain, support, and prioritize particular forms of play—in The Ambiguity of Play.
• Progress, fate, power, (community) identification, imagination, ego, and frivolity are the seven rhetorics.
• Sutton-Smith attributes three of these—fate, power, and identity in video games as ancient but still relevant and correlates them with a more group-centered orientation.
• Progress, imaginary, and self are three other terms that are more recent and are linked to a contemporary emphasis on the person.
• According to Sutton-Smith, frivolity, the seventh rhetoric, operates as responding rhetoric since nonhegemonic forms of play are frequently viewed as frivolous.
• Sutton-Smith states in the conclusion that variation is one of the play's fundamental characteristics and bears significant similarities to biological variation.
