I shouldn't think that BSM have an anti-gaming agenda, so these results are interesting - though I'd question the accuracy of their survey, given the narrow and targeted sample group. Still, perhaps this is an example of the idea of play as having no consequences being carried over into everyday life? Perhaps simulation games are problematic because they're close enough to reality, whilst at the same time allowing you to do things without consequences, or that you wouldn't normally be able to do?

If I'd been paying attention I would have noticed that Gareth has already posted on the surgeons story.
