Power.In this era of big media franchises, sports branding has crossed platforms, so that the sport, its television broadcast, and its replication in an electronic game are packaged and promoted as part of the same fan experience. Editors Robert Alan Brookey and Thomas P. Oates trace this development back to the unexpected success of Atari's Pong in the 1970's, which provoked a flood of sport simulation games that have had an impact on every sector of the electronic game market. From golf to football, basketball to step aerobics, electronic sports games are as familiar in the American household as the televised sporting events they simulate. This book explores the points of convergence at which gaming and sports culture merge.Digital Game StudiesSportsMarketingCommunication in marketingSports spectatorsVideo gamesVideo gamesSocial aspectsSportsMarketing.Communication in marketing.Sports spectators.Video games.Video gamesSocial aspects.794.8Brookey Robert Alan1959-Oates Thomas PatrickMiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910806906403321Playing to win3953213UNINA
