    Your change of terms did indeed change the debate. Fun may be the
    primary core of games. But it's not the primary core of
    entertainment. Interactive entertainment, however, happens to mostly
    be games right now. But it doesn't have to be, I suppose.
    
    The difficulty comes about because of the word "interactive" that is
    prepended in front of the word entertainment. It's not analogous to
    "screen-based" or "prose-based." Those are media, not verbs. So
    perhaps a better term is "computer-based entertainment."
    
    As soon as we say that, we realize that there's a hell of a lot of
    forms of computer-based entertainment that are not games. And
    they're not all "fun" in the sense generally meant either. Perhaps a
    good example might be this mailing list, which could not exist in
    recognizable form without the mediation of the computer.
    
    So the problem lies in "interactive." Let's presume that we interact
    either with or through the medium of the computer. Both seem to
    qualify as interactive entertainment; they basically boil down to
    single participant or multi-participant activities.
    
    In the case of "interact with," we can presume that the experience
    cannot be primarily passive, as it is with stage-based, prose-based,
    etc. After all, interacting with stage-based media is generally
    termed "acting" and interacting with prose-based media is usually
    termed "writing."
    
    There's been a lot of discussion in professional videogame design
    circles lately about "the surrender of authorship" inherent in both
    greater flexibility in the games and in the burgeoning "mod"
    community. I think the key insight here is that it's all just
    "interacting with the medium." In other words, modding is just
    playing the game in another way, sort of like a budding writer might
    rework plots of characters from other writers into derivative
    journeyman fiction or into fan fiction. The fact that some forms of
    it are constructive (modding a game), experiential (playing a game),
    or destructive (hacking a game) are immaterial--the same activities
    are possible with a given play or book or song. Arguably, the act of
    literary analysis is much the same as the act of hacking a game--the
    act of disassembling the components of a given piece of work in a
    medium in order to see how it works, or even to get it to do things,
    carry messages, or otherwise represent itself as something other
    than what the author of the piece intended.
    
    We can sit here and debate whether performing music, writing a
    story, or drawing a picture are "fun." As someone with some training
    in all three, I can tell you that they are all hard work, which
    isn't something we necessarily consider "fun." But I derive great
    fulfillment from it. This is perhaps analogous to watching HAMLET on
    stage, reading LORD JIM, or viewing GUERNICA--not exactly fun, but
    fulfilling in a different way.
    
    This suggests that given that writing isn't necessarily fun but
    might be something valuable for the writer to do; and that
    practicing piano for hours on end might not be fun but something
    that gives fulfillment; that engaging in interactive computer-based
    entertainment need not be fun either but might indeed be fulfilling,
    thought-provoking, challenging, and also difficult, painful, and
    even compulsive.

    DESTRUCTIVE Ear training Music Analysis
    criticism
    
    That said, it doesn't mean that the form the interactive
    computer-based entertainment takes is necessarily "a game" or even a
    "software toy." The definition of game implies certain things, as
    does the word "toy" or "sport" and maybe even "hobby." These words
    DO imply fun, even if often in deadly seriousness.
    
    For those of us on this list, of course, the interesting factor is
    cases where the interactive entertainment is going through the
    computer, as opposed to merely being acting on it. As soon as you
    have multiple participants in the environment, the endeavors (which
    are likely to be the same--constructive, experiential, or
    destructive) will shift to being either individual (read: disengaged
    from other participants), collaborative or competitive. In fact,
    your participants may not all be engaging in the same endeavors at
    the same time. (Even to the extent that we can probably consider
    participants engaging in individual interaction with the medium to
    be people effectively participanting in a single-participant
    activity, since they are interacting with the computer, not with the
    other participants).
    
    We do happen to have words for competitive activities engaged in
    with other people; "game" and "sport" are among them. We also have
    words for collaborative activities engaged in with other people, but
    since they comprise such a wide range of activities, we tend to lump
    many of them under the terms "community."
    
    A surprising number of these activities come out as what we label
    "games," in fact. Consider the breakdown for what we might term "map
    and counters mediated activities," wherein several of the boxes can
    profitably be filled with the word "game" or "toy," albeit of
    different types (roleplaying, wargame, Legos, etc).

    It's fairly easy to see how just the realm of muds can be fractally
    expanded to cover much the same territory. This leads to the
    suggestion that Bartle's mapping of four types, which recently in
    some circles has come under pressure to add a fifth type, voyeur, or
    a sixth type, "roleplayer," is merely a subset of this larger
    categorization. It's pretty easy to find more mud-based activities
    that fall into the nine types, and I imagine that just as this is a
    fractal take on the above graph, this graph can profitably be
    expanded to find nine types of activities within any given box.

    Where does this leave me vis-a-vis whether games are supposed to be
    fun? Games as classically defined are some boxes within the
    framework, but not all of them. Arguably, all of the above are fun
    to someone. And lastly, online worlds aren't just games. :)
