I also read somewhere else that the term "ludonarrative dissonance" is sometimes mocked within the video game industry, that it's one of those terms that a newbie reads on the Internet and then starts using it at work. I don't have any way of verifying that, or knowing how much respect and usage the term has in the video game industry. I also don't have any evidence that "ludonarrative dissonance" is widely used in the roleplaying community currently, and I don't know if "ludonarrative dissonance" is the term that, one day, will be used to widely describe non-video gameplay across the wider community.
