Gameology: Commentary and Resources for the Game Studies Community

it maybe that i don't understand well enough the subject you are argueing about,and that my reason focusses only your 'mere words' i found in the post -present and future-...but in the end you come back to the title of your insert "present and future", saying that "i can't imagine abandoning play - because i can't imagine what else i would do with my time". saying this, on the one hand you presuppose that time is your private property and on the other hand, you are not clear enough what you mean with the terms "present" and "future" intended as parameters of "your time"("present situation", "current situation", "broken record"?). i beg your pardon, i am in time-research and not game research, but nevertheless i would apreciate if you could answer!
