[CAN VIDEOGAMES EXIST WITHOUT SOFTWARE?]

Videogames are what happens in the mind of humans when they use software in a playful way.

Some software has been designed to be used as a videogame, and some other hasn't.

The software is not the game.

The videogame exists within us.

[DOWNLOAD AND USE THIS SOFTWARE, THEN ASNWER:]

(downloading it makes the point of it being software come across better, but... you can play it here on your browser if you want :P)

Do you consider it a game?

What do you think any artifact needs to be considered a videogame?

Is the videogame the software? Is the videogame the intention of the one who created the software? Or is it your playful attitude when you interact with it?

Can you play any software if you invent some rules to play with it? If you do so: is the videogame the software, or did you just create a videogame on the fly?

Are videogames what happens in the mind of humans when they use software in a playful way?
