In chapter 1 and 2 the author, James Paul Gee explains video games are forms of learning since people must learn them to play. The game creators aid the learning process in that they determine the ease of playing the game. In case a game cannot be easily learned, obviously many people will not play it and the company and its creator will become bankrupt.
