Yomi play grows from complex, difficult-to-quantify payoffs.
The act of shooting is just spectacle. It has no longevity—but Modern Warfare 2 does. People play this game for hundreds or even thousands of hours. They buy sequel after sequel to do the same thing over and over. Why? Because the game isn’t really about shooting. It’s about yomi—an intricate dance of mental evaluation and counterevaluation.
