Game Ethics (Philosophy): Is it, or isn’t it?

If you ask “Why play?” — you’re in metaethics.
If you ask “How to win?” — you’re in practical ethics.

​

Physical facts dictate what is and what is not in our best interest. They are not a matter of personal preference or belief. In games, however, ethics takes two distinct forms: practical ethics, which asks “How do I best protect my king?”, and metaethics, which asks “Why am I playing chess at all?”

 

Metaethics is subjective—it questions meaning, purpose, and motivation. Practical ethics, on the other hand, is about strategy, rules, and execution. Life itself mirrors this duality: while we may debate why we play, the reality is that human experience is structured by rules, challenges, and rewards that demand action. And within that structure, some ways of playing are objectively better than others.
