Affective interaction between players of video games can elicit rich andvarying patterns of emotions. In multiplayer activities that take place in acommon space (such as sports and board games), players are generally aware ofthe emotions of their teammates or opponents as they can directly observe theirbehavioral patterns, facial expressions, head pose, body stance and so on.Players of online video games, however, are not generally aware of the otherplayers' emotions given the limited channels of direct interaction among them(e.g. via emojis or chat boxes). It also turns out that the impact of real-timeemotionawareness on play is still unexplored in the space of online digitalgames. Motivated by this lack of empirical knowledge on the role of the affectof others to one's gameplay performance in this paper we investigate thedegrees to which the expression of manifested emotions of an opponent canaffect the emotions of the player and consequently his gameplay behavior. Inthis initial study, we test our hypothesis on a two-player adversarial carracing game. We perform a comprehensive user study to evaluate the emotions,behaviors, and attitudes of players in emotion aware versus emotion agnosticgame versions. Our findings suggest that expressing the emotional state of theopponent through an emoji in real-time affects the emotional state and behaviorof players that can consequently affect their playing experience.
