“…The range of values incorporated both extreme values for each enhancer for both concern and fairness scores. Future research could make use of implicit measures that aim to circumvent potentially problematic self-report issues ( 78 ). Fifth, we only added a scale measuring distributive justice, even though other facets are also important.…”

AimsThis study aims to explore community perspectives on enhancer usage in competitive gaming and esports, focusing on the perception of fairness and concerns about various potential performance enhancers.MethodsWe conducted both qualitative and quantitative surveys to understand the competitive gaming community's opinions on different types of performance enhancers and their potential impact on esports. A thematic analysis was performed to identify key themes in how players rationalize their opinions.ConclusionsThe gaming community differentiates between potential performance enhancers based on how problematic they are for the esports scene, with the most concern surrounding hard drugs, pharmaceuticals, and brain stimulation interventions. Participants who are more invested in competitive gaming tend to be more sceptical of enhancers and express greater concerns. Four themes were identified in the thematic analysis: (1) risk, (2) morality, (3) enhancer effects, and (4) regulation. To increase acceptance and perceived legitimacy in decision-making, it is recommended that regulators engage a variety of stakeholders in transparent decision-making processes when forming tournament rules and regulations. This will help address the fragmented regulatory landscape and prevent potential differences in the perception of tournament winners based on the governing body supervising the competition.

“…Although the majority of papers engaged with SDT in a descriptive manner, several papers (27.27%) quoted SDT to provide theoretical explanations that formed the starting point for their empirical investigations -sometimes in conjunction with other theories (e.g., empowerment, flow, motive disposition theory, [73,141,174]). A few works formulated specific hypotheses derived from SDT or SDT-inspired studies [110,174], or otherwise clearly built upon SDT propositions, e.g., "One interpretation is that autonomy is thwarted when playing for money and unimpeded when internalised by a sense of value from the task [...] Another interpretation is that different types of rewards may have different behavioural or motivational outcomes.…”

“…Moreover, several works applied SDT as a lens to formulate game design recommendations, inform the design process, or analyse existing designs. This suggests that SDT may indeed also serve practical purposes [164] -although the resulting design recommendations may be more effective as fairly general best practices and heuristics [187] rather than what will be motivating to an individual [8,141]. That said, our sample also included endeavours to translate SDT propositions into parameters that can be implemented into AI models to predict and simulate the player experience [73,154].…”

Self-Determination Theory (SDT), a major psychological theory of human motivation, has become increasingly popular in Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) research on games and play. However, it remains unclear how SDT has advanced HCI games research, or how HCI games scholars engage with the theory. We reviewed 110 CHI and CHI PLAY papers that cited SDT to gain a better understanding of the ways the theory has contributed to HCI games research. We find that SDT, and in particular, the concepts of need satisfaction and intrinsic motivation, have been widely applied to analyse the player experience and inform game design. Despite the popularity of SDT-based measures, however, prominent core concepts and mini-theories are rarely considered explicitly, and few papers engage with SDT beyond descriptive accounts. We highlight conceptual gaps at the intersection of SDT and HCI games research, and identify opportunities for SDT propositions, concepts, and measures to more productively inform future work.
