Points out that it "makes no sense to look at a single player game and a multiplayer game as the same game." "...they are two different games" in terms of the given typology. There's a possible contradiction to this on p.51 where: "It is common to distinguish between single player and multiplayer games, but we see this as an oversimplified categorization". |
