  • Markets and Distribution Channels
    SeGaBu project 1 (7) SERIOUS GAMES AND BUSINESS Markets and distribution channels Markets and distribution channels are very closely connected to the business model and monetization of the game itself. In this document business model and monetization is not dealt with. Introduction to serious games market Serious games application areas are many. In the book Serious Games - Foundations, Concept and Practice the following application areas were presented (Dörner, Dörner, Göbel, Effelsberg . & Wiemeyer, 2016, p. 320) Defence & Civil Forces Culture & Management & Tourism Business Pervasive Games Training Prevention & Rehabilitation Education Health Social Awareness Fig. 1. Serious games application areas Serious games for training and simulation Training and simulation games may represent the biggest and economically most relevant application area for serious games. The examples for this group are military training and simulation, civil relief organizations (police forces), training environments for service staff in various service sectors (bus/car drivers, pilots/flight attendants, etc.). The games can be either in-house training or public game markets. (Dörner et al., 2016, 321.) Digital educational games Edugames aim to teach users information in an enjoyable way (Alvarez, 2008, 19). Digital educational games are quite close to serious games for training and simulation. The main difference is the target user groups of children, students, trainees, families and elderly players. Many educational games exist, which can be used either at school or as supplementary learning material. Some digital educational games originate from research projects. (Dörner et al., 2016, 322.) SeGaBu project 2 (7) SERIOUS GAMES AND BUSINESS Health games The third big application field of serious games represents games for health, covering prevention, rehabilitation, physical exercises, dance or nutrition aiming to support health in general and to enforce a behavior change towards better, more active and heathier lifestyle.

Egnoto St. John Fisher College __________________________________________________________________ The goal of the current study is to further conceptualize and define the term “hardcore” as it relates to video game culture. Past research indicates that members of cultural subdivisions favor their own group versus others due to perceived commonalities (Durkheim, 1915; Tajfel, 1970). In gaming culture, the subdivisions of “hardcore” and “casual” games/gamers have become especially salient in recent years.

  • From Girlfriend to Gamer: Negotiating Place in the Hardcore/Casual Divide of Online Video Game Communities
    FROM GIRLFRIEND TO GAMER: NEGOTIATING PLACE IN THE HARDCORE/CASUAL DIVIDE OF ONLINE VIDEO GAME COMMUNITIES Erica Kubik A Dissertation Submitted to the Graduate College of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY May 2010 Committee: Radhika Gajjala, Advisor Amy Robinson Graduate Faculty Representative Kristine Blair Donald McQuarie ii ABSTRACT Radhika Gajjala, Advisor The stereotypical video gamer has traditionally been seen as a young, white, male; even though female gamers have also always been part of video game cultures. Recent changes in the landscape of video games, especially game marketers’ increasing interest in expanding the market, have made the subject of women in gaming more noticeable than ever. This dissertation asked how gender, especially females as a troubling demographic marking difference, shaped video game cultures in the recent past. This dissertation focused primarily on cultures found on the Internet as they related to video game consoles as they took shape during the beginning of the seventh generation of consoles, between 2005 and 2009. Using discourse analysis, this dissertation analyzed the ways gendered speech was used by cultural members to define not only the limits and values of a generalizable video game culture, but also to define the idealized gamer. This dissertation found that video game cultures exhibited the same biases against women that many other cyber/digital cultures employed, as evidenced by feminist scholars of technology. Specifically, female gamers were often perceived as less authoritative of technology than male gamers. This was especially true when the concept “hardcore” was employed to describe the ideals of gaming culture.

  • Lowell Library Lines September 20099
    Lowell Library Lines September 20099 Reptile Program Highlights Reading Club Finale Axel the alligator seemed to be smiling at the crowd of over 300 that came to the Grand Finale of the “Travel the Open Book Road” Summer Reading Club Program at the Lowell Public Library. The featured event, Dave DiNaso’s Traveling World of Reptiles, starred several reptiles and amphibians, large and small. DiNaso combined his humor with education as he informed his audience of the importance of protecting wildlife throughout the world. Among the reptiles he brought to the show were Chiquita, a thirteen and one-half foot Burmese python, and Campbell, a fifty-pound snapping turtle. The show also included a four foot Iguana, a tarantula, a huge African bullfrog and several other reptiles and amphibians. At the end of the library’s Summer Reading Club Program the numbers were tallied giving evidence that over 600 children at the Lowell library and its Shelby and Schneider branches were registered to be reading club members, having read 24,900+ plus books. Chapters read totaled 30,788. “We had a wonderful Summer Reading Club season”, stated Children’s Programmer Denise Mayhew. “The children really raced in to read. Staff pages were constantly updating participants cars to showcase their reading achievements and re-shelving and straightening out the bookshelves as children took out ten to twenty books at a time. We are proud of the children’s reading efforts and applaud the parents who encouraged their participa- tion in the program”. Of course, it wasn’t all reading. The children had lots of fun at the pro- grams, including crafts and cooking.

  • The Virtual Hand: Exploring the Societal Effects of Video Game Industry Business Models
    THE VIRTUAL HAND: EXPLORING THE SOCIETAL IMPACT OF VIDEO GAME INDUSTRY BUSINESS MODELS Mark D. Cruea A Dissertation Submitted to the Graduate College of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY December 2011 Committee: Oliver Boyd-Barrett, Advisor Savilla I. Banister Graduate Faculty Representative Radhika Gajjala Sung-Yeon Park ii ABSTRACT Oliver Boyd-Barrett, Advisor The purpose of this study was threefold. The first goal was to investigate the evolution of business models within the video game industry with a specific focus on the console segment within the United States and including Microsoft, Nintendo, and Sony as the three largest console manufacturers. The second goal was to examine the connections between these business models and practices of planned obsolescence. The third goal was to determine the connections between the business models in use and any associated externalities. Externalities of particular interest included effects related to violence, gender, race, military connections, and the environment. Political economy served as both theory and method. Results showed that past business models have heavily relied on a cycle of production and consumption that contributes to a culture of overconsumption and regularly produces and reproduces both positive and negative externalities that are not accounted for as a cost of doing business despite the effects borne by society. iii The circumstances of human society are too complicated to be submitted to the rigor of mathematical calculation. -Marquis de Custine iv This dissertation is, of course, dedicated to all video game enthusiasts. Our love of games has created a vibrant and growing field of study in academia.
