  • The Prosthetic Imagination: Meditations on Virtual Space and Experience in Single Player Computer Role Playing Games By
    The Prosthetic Imagination: Meditations on Virtual Space and Experience in Single Player Computer Role Playing Games by Michael David Brian Taylor A thesis presented to the University of Waterloo in fulfilment of the thesis requirement for the degree of Master of Architecture Waterloo, Ontario, Canada, 2011 © Michael David Brian Taylor 2011 I hereby declare that I am the sole author of this thesis. This is a true copy of the thesis, including any required final revisions, as accepted by my examiners. I understand that my thesis may be made electronically available to the public. iii ABSTRACT Today’s video game players sit in front of their screens immersing them- selves within the fictional environment of the video game. They connect their physical self to the game-controller and their cerebral self to the game-world. The video game medium becomes a cybernetic and psycho- logical appendage, a prosthesis that allows game players to share their con- sciousness across actual and virtual realities. Such an appendage has the ability to expand the personal spatial environment of the game players as they navigate the spaces of an increasingly complex, digitally constructed extension of the imagination. The thesis begins with an autobiographical summary of personal ex- periences in the suburbs and the resultant escape from suburbia that video games provide. The thesis then presents a series of experiential diaries gen- erated from gameplay. This is followed by a conceptual analysis that uses six meditations to discuss the spaces and experiences presented in the dia- ries. The purpose of the conceptual analysis is to investigate how the nar- rative and spatial experiences of single player role playing video games ex- pand our perceptions of architecture and space beyond the real-world.

And even if that’s not the kind of thing you’re into—maybe you don’t know what Fortnite is or the last console you owned was a Sega Genesis, but still, hear me out. You’re gonna wanna keep listening. For the better part of a decade, the video game industry has made more in revenue than Hollywood. Year after year. It’s not even close anymore. The two industries have a fair amount in common. Both movies and video games take enormous amounts of work to produce—work that spans dozens of disciplines, sometimes employing thousands of people on a single project. There are big studios, small studios, indie projects, multibillion dollar franchises. But the video game industry—at least compared to film and TV—is relatively new. It’s changing constantly. Sometimes for the better, sometimes for the worse. And the folks who make these games, most of them don’t have the same protections movie crews find in, say, a union or guild. Jason Schreier has made a career reporting on exactly that.

L. Rev. 811 (2020), https://scholarship.law.wm.edu/wmblr/vol11/iss3/6 Copyright c 2020 by the authors. This article is brought to you by the William & Mary Law School Scholarship Repository. https://scholarship.law.wm.edu/wmblr MOD MONEY, MOD PROBLEMS: A CRITIQUE OF COPYRIGHT RESTRICTIONS ON VIDEO GAME MODIFICATIONS AND AN EVALUATION OF ASSOCIATED MONETIZATION REGIMES CARL “OTT” LINDSTROM* ABSTRACT Video game modifications (mods) have had a tremendously positive impact on the game industry, both in terms of commercial success and evolution of the medium. But the present court doctrine, enabled by Micro Star v. Formgen and abetted by restrictive End User License Agreements, greatly underserves the mod community and undermines the principal tenet of copyright law: the funda- mental right to reap the benefits of what one has created. This Note examines and critiques the current doctrine and its ethical pitfalls. It also explores the pros and cons of current methods of mod mon- etization, including remakes, developer partnerships, and donation systems. Finally, it advocates for a more equitable and ethically sound paradigm of mod rights through a proposed open licensing standard modeled after the tabletop gaming industry.

  • Game Design by Numbers
    Game Design by Numbers: Instrumental Play and the Quantitative Shift in the Digital Game Industry by Jennifer R. Whitson A thesis submitted to the Faculty of Graduate and Postdoctoral Affairs in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Sociology Carleton University, Ottawa, Ontario © 2012 Jennifer R. Whitson Abstract This dissertation chronicles ideological, technological and economic changes in the digital game industry, focusing on how games are transforming as play becomes instrumentalized. It pays particular attention to the struggles of developers as they search for creative freedom and autonomy in a risk-averse industry. It makes original contributions to the literature on games by situating and explaining industry-wide shifts in terms of the socio-economics of game development and the rationalities that drive individual developers. It contributes to social theory more generally by explaining how transformations in play, games, and creativity are linked to much wider adaptations in the operation of capitalism and how it is justified to both workers and consumers. I use ground-level accounts from those within the game industry to describe how new media technologies interact with socio-economic forces, detailing the adaptability of capitalist modes of production in the face of critique. I show how definitions of 'games' and 'play' are changing as they come into contact with technology, allowing games to be reformulated in powerful new ways, so games are not only tools of entertainment but also tools of governance. I argue that the collective valuation of objective quantitative data and the belief in the fallibility of individual creative autonomy has turned game design into "design by numbers".
