Skrifter utgivna vid institutionen för ABM vid Uppsala universitet 7. 164 pp. Uppsala: Department of ALM. ISBN 978-91-506-2676-6. Drawing on the disciplines of library and information studies and archival studies, this study seeks to explore the production of information in online videogame communities and to elucidate how such insights can offer practical and conceptual support to the knotty issue of how to preserve those sociocultural aspects of videogames that exist 'beyond' the code and audiovisual data resources of the videogame itself. This is accomplished in two principal moves: (i) by delving into the current state of socioculturally-focused videogame preservation and; (ii) by inquiring into the production of information carried out by videogame communities in what arguably is one of their most important interfaces of interaction—discussion forums, wikis, and other social-media services.

Ncsoft Buy (036570 KS) (Maintain)
[Korea] Games January 19, 2021 NCsoft Buy (036570 KS) (Maintain) Watch for earnings/new title momentum and new TP: W1,260,000 businesses in 2021 Upside: 34.3% Mirae Asset Daewoo Co., Ltd. Chang-kwean Kim [email protected] HeeSeok Lim [email protected] Revenue from existing titles 4Q20 preview: Revenue of W552bn and OP of W187bn remains robust In 1Q21, we believe the combined daily average revenue of Lineage M and Lineage 2M has remained at around W4bn (similar to the 4Q20 level), supported by the continued effects of updates made in July (Lineage M) and November (Lineage 2M). For 4Q20, we expect NCsoft to post revenue of W552bn (+3.3% YoY) and operating profit of W187bn (+32.5% YoY). The consensus is currently looking for revenue of W554.9bn and operating profit of W169.3bn. We believe 4Q20 margins contracted on: 1) company-wide incentive payouts; and 2) bonus payouts to the company’s professional baseball team following its Korean Series win. Launch of new businesses, 1Q20 new releases coming into view, with Lineage 2M beginning pre-registrations in including UNIVERSE, in 1Q21 Taiwan/Japan New releases due in 1Q20 are coming into view, with Lineage 2M beginning pre-registrations simultaneously in Taiwan and Japan on Jan. 8. The domestic rollout of Blade & Soul 2 also looks set to take place in 1Q21, as planned. Trickster M, which we have not reflected in our revenue assumption, has reached over 3mn pre- registrations. The K-pop entertainment platform UNIVERSE also surpassed 3mn pre-registrations on Jan. 14.

Calibrating Play: Sociotemporality in South Korean Digital Gaming Culture
AMERICAN ANTHROPOLOGIST Calibrating Play: Sociotemporality in South Korean Digital Gaming Culture Stephen C. Rea ABSTRACT This article examines the significance of digital gaming culture amidst broader institutional trans- formations in South Korea over the past several decades. Digital gaming is contextualized by a popular narrative about Korean society “speeding up” and complementary sociotemporal expectations for being and acting that stress qualities of both quickness and endurance. Approaching digital gaming’s virtual- and actual-world sites as nested “taskscapes,” I contend that calibration—processes that bring phenomena across different taskscapes into corre- spondence with one another—best describes how Korean digital gamers align their individual, embodied play with sociotemporal expectations. Specifically, I analyze two digital gaming practices in their ethnographic contexts—an e-sports performance metric called “actions per minute” (APM) and an online gaming activity known as nogada—as modes for calibrating play with dominant sociotemporalities. The contrast between quick and slow sociotemporal- ities and the necessity of continual recalibration across taskscapes is a source of unending stress and frustration for many Koreans. Thinking with play as a disposition for calibration helps to make sense of everyday strategies for making do in precarious circumstances. [digital games, temporality, play, South Korea] RESUMEN Este artıculo´ examina el significado de la cultura de juego digital en medio de transformaciones institu- cionales mas´ amplias en Corea del Sur en las ultimas´ decadas´ El juego digital esta´ contextualizado por una narrativa popular acerca de la sociedad Coreana de “acelerandose”´ y expectativas socio-temporales complementarias por ser y actuar que enfatizan las cualidades de rapidez y resistencia.

Broad The New York Times “Science Times” “A pleasure for the rational reader . what good books are all about . ” —Associated Press “If Ward and Brownlee are right it could be time to reverse a process that has been going on since Copernicus.” —The Times (London) “Although simple life is probably abundant in the universe, Ward & Brownlee say, ‘complex life—animals and higher plants—is likely to be far more rare than is commonly assumed’.” —Scientific American, Editor’s Choice “ . a compelling argument [and] a wet blanket for E.T. enthusiasts . ” —Discover “Peter Ward and Donald Brownlee offer a powerful argument ....” —The Economist “[Rare Earth] has hit the world of astrobiologists like a killer asteroid ....” —Newsday “A very good book.” —Astronomy The notion that life existed anywhere in the universe besides Earth was once laughable in the scientific community. Over the past thirty years or so, the laugh- ter has died away . [Ward and Brownlee] argue that the recent trend in scien- tific thought has gone too far .
