“…While generally seen through the lens of how power creep effects game play (which may in turn effect who plays the game), Perreault, Daniel, and Tham (Perreault et al, 2021) peer at how power creep may first alter those who play the game. In other words, with constant change of the game, those who play it must play more frequently to “keep up” irrespective of the game play quality (Falcão & Marques, 2019; Perreault et al, 2021; Zuin & Veloso, 2019). Given MtG’s longevity, Perreault, Daniel, and Tham’s perspective is of peculiar interest as MtG players acknowledge the phenomenon that one never quits magic, rather one takes a break (Cordell, 2020; Woods, 2014).…”
