The popularization of new technologies, forms of expression, and online services has had a considerable influence on the academic and journalistic discourse about games. This anthology examines which paratexts gaming cultures have produced ? i.e., in which forms and formats and through which channels we talk (and write) about games ? as well as the way in which paratexts influence the development of games. How is knowledge about games generated and shaped today and how do boundaries between (popular) criticism, journalism, and scholarship have started to blur? In short: How does the paratext change the text? 330 1 $aBesprochen in:https://archive.org, 08.04.2024 410 0$aBild und Bit. Studien zur digitalen Medienkultur 517 2 $aBeil et al.
