Digital games have evolved into diverse forms, and they touch many different areas of life in contemporary society. When approached together with the associated playful and serious behaviors, they profit from several research methodologies. This collection of articles introduces a range of research methodologies and aims to promote interdisciplinary dialogue in the study of games.

Videogames consist of all kinds of things from code to story and signs to players.
“Videogames consist of all kinds of things from code to story and signs to players.”
From Real-time hermeneutics: meaning-making in ludonarrative digital games (2018) · cites this paper as Mäyrä, Holopainen, & Jakobsson, 2012, p. 296
The Guest Editorial (p. 296) describes games as complex and multidimensional, spanning technology, art, and player experience. That supports the claim’s broad point, but our copy does not identify code, story, and signs as components of videogames. (LLM, conf=0.82)

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
