Acting as Gamist Play

Hi all,
Recently I've read two threads,
http://www.indie-rpgs.com/viewtopic.php?t=10481
" >Regarding the nature of roleplaying and
http://www.indie-rpgs.com/viewtopic.php?t=10685
" >Immersive Story Essay.
They've triggered several ideas, but here's the one I want to put up for discussion in this thread:
Some roleplayers emphasize the actual act of acting - performing in character - as an epitome by which roleplaying should be judged. Until recently, I've always assumed this is a niche of simulationist style play. But is it possible that it's actually a kind of gamism?
Consider that gamism values a player's willingness to step up, take a risk, and perform under pressure. Isn't acting a kind of risk-taking performance? When a group values this kind of performance-intensive play above other elements, aren't they also prioritizing Step On Up?
