The controller linked a hand to a character on a screen. Records suggest that for many players the screen was where daily life took place: the body stayed seated while the character travelled, fought and met others elsewhere. Analysis concludes that, for these players, the game was less a pastime than a way out of a reality they preferred not to face.
