The growth in popularity and complexity of video games has spurred new
interest in how games are developed and in the research and technology
behind them. David Heineman brings together some of the most iconic,
influential, and interesting voices from across the gaming industry
and asks them to weigh in on the past, present, and future of video
games. Among them are legendary game designers Nolan Bushnell (Pong)
and Eugene Jarvis (Defender), who talk about their history of
innovations from the earliest days of the video game industry through
to the present; contemporary trailblazers Kellee Santiago (Journey)
and Casey Hudson (Mass Effect), who discuss contemporary relationships
between those who create games and those who play them; and scholars
Ian Bogost (How to Do Things With Videogames) and Edward Castronova
(Exodus to the Virtual World), who discuss how to research and write
about games in ways that engage a range of audiences. These experts
and others offer fascinating perspectives on video games, game
studies, gaming culture, and the game industry more broadly.
