| description | Massive Multiplayer Online Roleplaying Games (MMORPGs) have gone
from sub to mainstream culture in the space of the past decade, showing
play as social and diverse. Looking at play as a continuous process,
I analyse how the practice of play is shaped not just by design, but
also by the context in which it is played. Based on qualitative
interviews with a group of powergamers, defined by their instrumental
approach to the game, I investigate the ways in which these players
negotiate their time-consuming play style with their everyday lives. |
