چکیده
In this paper, we introduce the theory of trait Emotional Intelligence (‘trait EI’) as a personality theory that could assist in exemplifying the gamers’ profile and contribute to the design of player-center game experiences. Data from two studies (a game-specific and a game-general one) led to a number of playercentered playability principles that could inform the design of adaptable games and games targeting specific gaming audiences. The gamers’ emotional characteristics were found to be of prominent importance to the design of good games.

Drawing on queer/feminist theory, the argument concentrates on sexuality as resource for ‘transgressive play’. The notion of transgressive play is usually taken to mean play against the ‘ideal’ or ‘implied’ player of the game, of playing the game in ways not anticip...
