Description

Product Description This book examines the historical background of game development, offline and online gamer interactions, and presents a method to study the health impacts of digital games in East Asia. Focusing on examinations of how video games shape external interactions with the world as well as internal spaces, Lee and Pulos' volume brings together a range of approaches and regions to understand the impact of video games in East Asia and beyond. Contributions range from assessments of Nintendo's lasting technological impact in Japan and globally to analyses of mobile social gaming among teenage girls in Korea, with qualitative and quantitative methodologies set in contact with one another to offer a full spectrum of perspectives on video gaming and its profound cultural impact. From the Back Cover This book examines the development and prominence of video games within historical, industrial, and social contexts of East Asia, the largest global market for the video game industry. The book overviews the history of video game technology and industry, examines recent trends in mobile social games, and discusses social impacts of video games in East Asian contexts. The first part overviews the history of video game industry and the technological landscape of video games. The second part examines the recent trend in social mobile games and how developers and players interact in this new gaming sphere. The last part of the book discusses the social impacts of video games in East Asian context through both quantitative and qualitative lenses. About the Author S.
