Game Studies
Game Studies is an interdisciplinary field that examines video games and their impact on culture, society, and individuals. It explores various aspects of games, including their design, mechanics, narratives, and the experiences they create for players. Researchers analyze how games function as a form of art, entertainment, and communication.
The field also investigates the social dynamics within gaming communities and the implications of gaming on identity and behavior. Scholars in Game Studies draw from disciplines such as psychology, sociology, and media studies to understand the complex relationships between games and their players.
