Document Summary
Play-centric removes the extra stuff and looks specifically at the sense of play. Quick to build find the mechanics and quickly throw together a game and test it out to see if it. Avoid sunk cost fallacy spend a lot of time on something, don"t get what you want but since you invested all this time, you go through with it even if it doesn"t work. Captures essential experience testing will let you know if the experience you want actually works. Industry valued skill tons of developers do this.
