Currently, they havea physical studio set up in Sweden.In fact, the behaviors inspired by the need to complete a game have previously inspired a study onsuch positive aspects which may readily be translated to educational games. Steinkuehler &Duncan [28] investigated the mindset of Engineers playing learning games, conducting acomprehensive study based on the game World of Warcraft (WoW). The study provides a veryuseful result into how games incorporate habits which could also be translated to scientific habitsbenefitting users (Table 1). Some of these scientific habits include social knowledge construction,building on others’ ideas, usage of counterarguments, usage of data and evidence, understandingfeedback, model based
