Last year a new paradigm emerged-courts applied the test set forth in Hart v. Electronic Arts, Inc. to lawsuits involving celebri- ties' publicity rights in video games, 2 and the Supreme Court validated a new art form in Brown v. Entertainment Merchants Association.3 While not new in 2012, an important trend certainly continued in a significant way: the video game industry continued to become more mainstream.4 As video games continue to cross demographic lines and become more ubiquitous, production companies begin to resemble those in other industries. As a result of risk-focused business decisions and industry growth, many of last year's contentious lawsuits have settled. As the scope of a business expands, the variety of its contracts tends to expand as well.

  • Playing Soviet Soldiers: Virtual Communicative Memory in Kyrgyzstan — Mikhail Shakhnazarov Master’S Thesis in Peace and Conflict Transformation, May 2017
    Centre for Peace Studies Playing Soviet Soldiers: Virtual Communicative Memory in Kyrgyzstan — Mikhail Shakhnazarov Master’s thesis in Peace and Conflict Transformation, May 2017 1 2 Abstract The thesis explores the fields of memory studies and video game studies. As a result, it proposes the concept of virtual communicative memory to encapsulate the special form of memory that can be produced by player interaction with video games. As an instance of modern media, video games bring the added dimensions of player agency, engagement of personal values and ethical sensibilities of the players, and shared experience of simulated historical environments. These factors justify the investigation of the memory-making potential of video games. To explore the feasibility of the proposed theoretical development, the thesis presents an analysis of the game Company of Heroes 2 (Relic Entertainment, 2013). In this analysis, the dominant historical themes of the game are fleshed out and the memory making potential of the game is evaluated with a view to virtual communicative memory. The thesis also contains the results of empirical research carried out during the summer of 2016 in Bishkek, Kyrgyzstan. The research was designed to explore player engagement with the game and the process by which players negotiate the meaning potentials and historical themes contained in the game. This research provides some support for the concept of virtual communicative memory and points to numerous further research avenues, such as the use of video games in education. 3 Acknowledgements This was not easy. To my supervisor, Holger Pötzsch, thank you for your support and guidance. To Daria Gettueva, thank you for your patience.

These games oversaturated the markets, and eventually exhausted the subject matter.[2] In recent years, major game developers and publishers have mostly shunned the topic. The more popular wargame genres have almost completely deserted the theme, while the niche genres have continued to draw from this well-trodden source of inspiration.
