Smartphones are only one aspect game. Don't over-emphasize or under-emphasize it, just see it as a part of what you do to incorporate it into your game. Possibly if you see having to use a smartphone to do game as ritual process you're not looking at the big picture. If you see yourself as having to use text game to make yourself stand-out, you view yourself as "just another guy on the phone", then you're already looking at it all as a person with from a self-defeatist point of view. It might be a challenge, but challenge doesn't equate to a loss.
