Consequences
While FUBAR Enjoyment is a positive experience, it relies on players having Cognitive Engrossment and Tension. One reason why FUBAR Enjoyment is enjoyable is that it lets players feel that they have Gameplay Mastery and it can be argued that the pattern does make players have this since they need to play at their full abilities; another reason is that eventual failure can lead to Spectacular Failure Enjoyment since the situation was chaotic or very difficult to begin with.
For Multiplayer Games, the combination of FUBAR Enjoyment with either Parties, PvE, or Teams leads to the possibility of Mutual FUBAR Enjoyment.
