Intrinsic and extrinsic motivations all occur within the mind. That is to say, that if the mind is not motivated to believe that there is a game, then there is no game. This already calls in to question where the necessity of the concept of 'integrity' would come in to play, as it has semantically unique interpretations that must be instantiated externally, by way of the minds of others: which you are not privy to, and therefore are unable to confirm the existence of from within your own perspective.

If the integrity of the game would need to be called in to question, it might be better to first consider that your mind is not correctly setting the parameters for what is being considered as a game. The instant you have become internally motivated to question the integrity of the game itself, you are, by necessity, calling in to question the game as it is perceived inside of your mind. Once the game has been called in to question, it is both more logical and more productive (for your own sake, as it is easiest to confirm your own perspective rather than others') to call in to question whether the game exists at all, as it would better inform you as to whether its integrity is questionable for reasons that exist entirely outside of your mind, or for reasons that have the potential to exist entirely inside your mind.

Soon you shall think that the sky, the air, the earth, colours, shapes, sounds and all external things are merely the delusions of dreams, which I have devised to ensnare your judgement. You shall consider yourself as not having hands or eyes, or flesh, or blood or senses, but as falsely believing that you have all these things.
