  • Coloured chips: click to highlight games that mainly differ on that motivation; click again to reset.

  • Hover a dot to preview that game in the panel on the right; click to keep that comparison.

Why don’t the axes read like a score? This view uses t-SNE: it only keeps who is close to whom. The scales are not “good to bad” or hours played—they separate groups on the map. Read distance between dots, not the axis numbers (hidden on purpose).
