When attention is not on making progress, it is easier to be calm and stop to enjoy the surroundings. It is great that this kind of thinking is found to an increasing extent in the world of games too where completely new genres of games are being created.

‘I went walking in the mountains last summer. One of the most wonderful experiences was the day when instead of making determined progress, I was kept in the same camping area by bad weather. Now that my attention was not on making progress, I was better able to be calm and stop to enjoy the surroundings. It is great that this kind of thinking is found to an increasing extent in the world of games too where completely new genres of games are being created. Films too would address a rather narrow target group if there was nothing other than comedy on offer.’
