作者：
Highlights：
• We examine the relationship between gaming gratifications and genre preferences.
• We develop and test a valid measure of gaming gratifications.
• Game mechanics and narration are the most important gaming gratifications.
• Players are more motivated by ego-centered gratifications than by social gratifications.
• The core genres roleplaying and action games are best predicted by gratifications.
