When you try to halt a person's game and they know they were playing it, they will normally just smile and switch games.
When you halt a person's game and they don't know they were playing a game, then two things are likely to happen. If the person has a mellow personality, they will go silent and just be confused while they try to figure it out. If they have an aggressive personality they might attack you, verbally or physically.
When a person beomes aware they were playing a game they might have some confusion about how to interact with people, because they have always used that game previously, but now they are at a loss to know how to interact without it. They don't know any other social interaction games. Sometimes that leads to a short period of depression while they sort it out.
