HA10 - Task 3 - Responses

Scenario: I have been commissioned by ukie to write a series of resource packs to be published on their website within the guides section.

Here is my personal response to War Thunder using the Reception Theory (the theory that people can receive a product as either Preffered, Negotiated or Oppositional):

I believe that my response to War Thunder has to fall under negotiated.

While it does mainly fit under preferred reception (as in I play it how it is intended to be played and I enjoy it), there are moments where either I find something wrong with the game (mainly due to rubbish players) or I get bored and decide to do something random that counts as "oppositional" (dog fighting with a bomber, holding off entire enemy team with a single low tier tank, go mountain climbing in a Flak truck, etc.).
These random divergences, while not what the game's developers had in mind, are still supported and allowed in the game (although it may irritate your team mates if it throws the match).

With all of that, the combination of Preffered and Oppositional reception means that I recieve War Thunder as Negotiated reception.
