  • The Tragedy of the Gamer: a Dramatistic Study of Gamergate By
    The Tragedy of the Gamer: A Dramatistic Study of GamerGate by Mason Stephen Langenbach A thesis submitted to the Graduate Faculty of Auburn University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the Degree of Master of Arts Auburn, Alabama May 5, 2019 Keywords: dramatism, scapegoat, mortification, GamerGate Copyright 2019 by Mason Stephen Langenbach Approved by Michael Milford, Chair, Professor of Communication Andrea Kelley, Professor of Media Studies Elizabeth Larson, Professor of Communication Abstract In August 2014, a small but active group of gamers began a relentless online harassment campaign against notable women in the videogame industry in a controversy known as GamerGate. In response, game journalists from several prominent gaming websites published op-eds condemning the incident and declared that “gamers are dead.” Using Burke’s dramatistic method, this thesis will examine these articles as operating within the genre of tragedy, outlining the journalists’ efforts to scapegoat the gamer. It will argue that game journalists simultaneously engaged in mortification not to purge the guilt within themselves but to further the scapegoating process. An extension of dramatistic theory will be offered which asserts that mortification can be appropriated by rhetors seeking to ascend within their social order’s hierarchy. ii Acknowledgments This project was long and arduous, and I would not have been able to complete it without the help of several individuals. First, I would like to thank all of my graduate professors who have given me the gift of education and knowledge throughout these past two years.

  • Writing “Gamers”: the Gendered Construction of Gamer Identity in Nintendo Power (1994-1999) Amanda C
    Running head: WRITING GAMERS Writing “Gamers”: The Gendered Construction of Gamer Identity in Nintendo Power (1994-1999) Amanda C. Cote This is an Accepted Manuscript of an article published by Sage in Games and Culture on July 1, 2018, available online: https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/1555412015624742. Abstract In the mid-1990s, a small group of video game designers attempted to lessen gaming’s gender gap by creating software targeting girls. By 1999, however, these attempts collapsed, and video games remained a masculinized technology. To help understand why this movement failed, this article addresses the unexplored role of consumer press in defining “gamers” as male. A detailed content analysis of Nintendo Power issues published from 1994-1999 shows that mainstream companies largely ignored the girls’ games movement, instead targeting male audiences through player representations, sexualized female characters, magazine covers featuring men, and predominantly male authors. Given the mutually constitutive nature of representation and reality, the lack of women in consumer press then affected girls’ ability to identify as gamers and enter the gaming community. This shows that, even as gaming audiences diversify, inclusive representations are also needed to redefine “gamer” as more than just “male”. Keywords: media history, video games, gender, consumer press, critical content analysis WRITING GAMERS Introduction Following the success of the Nintendo Wii in the mid-2000s and the subsequent spread of mobile gaming, popular and industry media have paid significant attention to casual games’ potential to broaden the video game audience (Mindlin 2006, Kane 2009, “U-Turn” 2012). Played frequently or even primarily by women, casual and mobile offerings break the stereotypical view of games as a masculinized technology primarily consumed by men and boys.

  • The Rising Esports Industry and the Need for Regulation
    TIME TO BE GROWN-UPS ABOUT VIDEO GAMING: THE RISING ESPORTS INDUSTRY AND THE NEED FOR REGULATION Katherine E. Hollist* Ten years ago, eSports were an eccentric pastime primarily enjoyed in South Korea. However, in the past several years, eSports have seen meteoric growth in dozens of markets, attracting tens of millions of viewers each year in the United States, alone. Meanwhile, the players who make up the various teams that play eSports professionally enjoy few protections. The result is that many of these players— whose average ages are between 18 and 22—are experiencing health complications after practicing as much as 14 hours a day to retain their professional status. This Note will explore why traditional solutions, like existing labor laws, fail to address the problem, why unionizing is impracticable under the current model, and finally, suggest regulatory solutions to address the unique characteristics of the industry.

  • Assassin's Creed III and the Aesthetics of Disappointment
    Assassin’s Creed III and the Aesthetics of Disappointment Jonathan Church Arcadia University Dept. of Sociology, Anthropology and Criminal Justice Glenside, PA 19038, USA 0012155724017 [email protected] Michael Klein Arcadia University Dept. of Sociology, Anthropology and Criminal Justice Glenside, PA 19038, USA [email protected] ABSTRACT Using a case example of the cycle of prerelease, release, and post-release commentary, criticism and reviews of Assassin’s Creed III from June 2012-January 2013, this paper examines how video game players produce a “culture of history” about the game they play through their commitment to commentary and critique mainly found in user reviews in gaming enthusiast press websites. This paper examines how an aesthetic of disappointment generates a comparative sense of gamers’ cultural present by framing aspects that should have been improved upon from the series’ past as well as in terms of expectations for the future of gaming. This paper concludes by suggesting that part of the pleasure of contemporary gaming for many self-identified “core” gamers is being able to both play games and aesthetically discuss the game being played as part of a culture of history with other gamers, a form of paidiaic play for “gaming capital”. Keywords Criticism, video games, affinity spaces, neoliberalism, paidiaic play INTRODUCTION This paper examines how video gaming enthusiast blog sites that cultivate community participation, reviews and forums, are generating affinity spaces (Gee 2005) where video game players enact their identities and construct what Suominen (2011) has called a “culture of history.” We argue that the aggregation of these sites may be thought of as a kind of neoliberal archive.

INTRODUCTION Video games are now more complex and realistic than they ever have been—but making those games is not cheap. Video game development and marketing costs are sky high.1 To help recoup these costs, game developers and publishers have begun inventing increasingly clever ways to encourage users to spend more money on video games—and they are pursuing patents for those inventions. One recently granted patent seeks to drive in-game purchases by making multiplayer matches difficult for a player, encouraging that player to buy an item and, once that item is purchased and used, subtly rewarding the spending by making multiplayer matches easier.2 Another recently granted patent targets players more likely to spend money in-game by presenting them with exclusive spending opportunities, maximizing value * Shareholder, Banner Witcoff. Thanks to Ross A. Dannenberg, Scott M. Kelly, and Carlos Goldie for their invaluable input and assistance with this Article. 1 See infra Part II. 2 See U.S. Patent No. 9,789,406 (filed Oct. 17, 2017) [hereinafter Marr].

  • A Mapping Approach to Identify Player Types for Game Recommendations
    information Article A Mapping Approach to Identify Player Types for Game Recommendations Yeonghun Lee and Yuchul Jung * Department of Computer Engineering, Kumoh National Institute of Technology, 61 Daehak-ro, Gumi-si 39177, Korea; [email protected] * Correspondence: [email protected]; Tel.: +82-054-4787536 Received: 23 October 2019; Accepted: 28 November 2019; Published: 2 December 2019 Abstract: As the size of the domestic and international gaming industry gradually grows, various games are undergoing rapid development cycles to compete in the current market. However, selecting and recommending suitable games for users continues to be a challenging problem. Although game recommendation systems based on the prior gaming experience of users exist, they are limited owing to the cold start problem. Unlike existing approaches, the current study addressed existing problems by identifying the personality of the user through a personality diagnostic test and mapping the personality to the player type. In addition, an Android app-based prototype was developed that recommends games by mapping tag information about the user’s personality and the game. A set of user experiments were conducted to verify the feasibility of the proposed mapping model and the recommendation prototype. Keywords: game; recommendation system; personality diagnosis; types of gamers 1. Introduction In modern society, gaming has become a part of popular culture that everyone enjoys regardless of gender or age. With the advent of various gaming platforms, such as mobile, high-end PC, and console games, users can enjoy playing games as per convenience; thus, their needs (or wishes) regarding games have diversified. Recently, a new genre that combines several existing game genres has been researched and developed to meet the needs of users.

    International Journal of Geo-Information Article A Polygon and Point-Based Approach to Matching Geospatial Features Juan J. Ruiz-Lendínez *, Manuel A. Ureña-Cámara ID and Francisco J. Ariza-López Departamento de Ingeniería Cartográfica, Geodésica y Fotogrametría, Escuela Politécnica Superior de Jaén, Universidad de Jaén, 23071 Jaén, Spain; [email protected] (M.A.U.-C.); [email protected] (F.J.A.-L.) * Correspondence: [email protected]; Tel.: +34-953-21-24-70; Fax: +34-953-21-28-54 Received: 19 October 2017; Accepted: 1 December 2017; Published: 5 December 2017 Abstract: A methodology for matching bidimensional entities is presented in this paper. The matching is proposed for both area and point features extracted from geographical databases. The procedure used to obtain homologous entities is achieved in a two-step process: The first matching, polygon to polygon matching (inter-element matching), is obtained by means of a genetic algorithm that allows the classifying of area features from two geographical databases. After this, we apply a point to point matching (intra-element matching) based on the comparison of changes in their turning functions. This study shows that genetic algorithms are suitable for matching polygon features even if these features are quite different. Our results show up to 40% of matched polygons with differences in geometrical attributes. With regards to point matching, the vertex from homologous polygons, the function and threshold values proposed in this paper show a useful method for obtaining precise vertex matching. Keywords: area entities matching; point entities matching; genetic algorithm; turning function descriptor; geographical databases 1. Introduction Pattern recognition and matching of features are essential processes in many problems when dealing with graphic information [1,2].
