Given that emotions and emotionrelated variables (e.g., competitiveness) play a critical role in gaming behavior [2, 3], increasing our understanding of what actually happens during video game playing in terms of emotional responses is of increasing importance from the point of view of communication researchers, media psychologists, and game industry (game developers).
