In the first chapter of such an approach, it is often mentioned that "play" refers to activity and "game" to the artefact. But there are subtleties that quickly undermine such a dichotomy.

SummaryBased on research on a serious game used for training purposes, this chapter aims to analyze knowledge transfer related to emotional labor between gaming and work situations.
