Academic literature discusses the (changing) usage of the ever more growing game industry. For instance, games can be used for educational purposes; serious games. SimCity is a persuasive game, using storytelling, subtext and framing to convey an implied playstyle on the implied player. Using this implied playstyle, players are subtly steered in the direction of managing a sustainable city.
