That games would be less “noisy” if the hardware and software weren’t quite so disruptable? How does your notion of fragility connect with non-electronic contexts, such as board and card games? Is something like Apples to Apples “fragile” in the same way? Or television — is the experience of watching a live television broadcast, almost always necessarily broken up by commercials (not to mention real life interruptions) similar, and thus this might not be as much about “games” as just some form of “persistent experience”?
