re: https://twitter.com/metasynthie/status/460460872914055168 … is it really reductionist to say a game *can be viewed as* a system? one can still acknowledge other views.

@chaosprime the puzzling thing is that i just read naomi's (& anna's) book on game design and loved it- but saw it as an account of systems! -
@chaosprime to me it was a *much more systems-based* account of game design than i'd seen previously -
@chrisamaphone that's pretty fascinating. did it use the word system or did it discuss things in systems terms without the word? -
@chaosprime hmm, can't recall. guess that means it didn't use it prominently. -
@chrisamaphone that fits with a picture i'm getting of "system" and "interactivity" being constructed as shibboleths of "the formalists" -
@chrisamaphone we can analyze and understand things as systems, but to use the word is to mark oneself as part of Formalism (Delenda Est)
