Not that anyone would but ...

From scientifical definition of a game, something just requires to have some goals(reward system) to be a game. The thing that don't have goals can be a toolkit for creating games, but will never be a game.
So it's all were discovered a long ago.
Sorry for my English.
Which feeling? That a reward system got in the way of roleplaying or that your players weren't roleplaying and needed a reward system?
I agree that an RPG needs to give the PC's goals but disagree that it needs some gamey mechanic like artha or XP to make it happen. Why do players pursue their best interests in In a Wicked Age? They don't get points. They don't "win." But they do it anyway...
That the players weren't really roleplaying and needed a reward system. Not something points related like Artha, but more like a big benefit when a goal is achieved.
Players pursue their best interest in In a Wicked Age because that's all they really have. In CyberGen there wasn't a place for goals so sometimes it felt like people didn't know what they wanted to do.
