Description:

Digital culture and gaming are central to contemporary life, influencing how people interact, communicate, and understand identity, power, and society. As these virtual spaces grow in complexity, they demand perspectives to examine their cultural, political, and economic implications. From issues of representation and inclusivity to the commodification and surveillance in gaming platforms, digital games represent broader societal issues. Exploring these aspects may reveal the structures that shape digital experiences and highlight the need for more critical, inclusive, and ethical approaches to gaming culture.

Critical Perspectives on Digital Culture and Gaming explores the impact of digital technology on gaming development and culture. It examines gaming platforms and mobile technology affected by new developments in gender studies, media literacy, and intelligent technology. This book covers topics such as digital games, gender studies, and mobile platforms, and is a useful resource for business owners, computer engineers, game developers, academicians, researchers, and scientists.
