Since the book is, in part,
on Google Books, I decided to actually skim over it and see how bad it is.
I won't be able to give page numbers for quotes and such since Google Books doesn't display them.
The whole thing is meant to be a collection of essays from various "important" people, collected by two editors. From their introduction to the book:
Video game production has historically been prohibitively expensive and time-consuming, giving big-name publishers a virtual monopoly on production, sales and marketing. As a result, the cultural identity of the "gamer" was from an early stage largely appropriated and shaped by the dominant corporate interest of the industry.
This is complete bollocks. The
first "typical" video game was built by students in their spare time, something you can read about
here. Arcade machines, the first video games available to the public, were of course made by corporations, but
Atari for example wasn't exactly "big business" when they started out. They look more like an innovative start-up to me. Of course they and their competitors quickly got rich and big off of their success, but they didn't start with a lot. Meanwhile, computer games were still made for free and open source by ambitious students: Text adventures like
Zork or dungeon crawlers like, well,
Dungeon, kickstarted entire genres. Sure, those were also ported to home computers and sold for money, but at that point the product already existed. Later publishers actively reached out to hobbyists for them to send in their games, and when the Internet became somewhat widely available the shareware scene went into overdrive. You were able to connect to a BBS and download a bunch of unlockable demos from independent devs straight to your Windows 3.11 machines, not quite as comfortable as Steam or itch.io of course, but it's the same concept, the same outcome: You don't have to be big business to make, distribute and sell games, not then and not now.
But hey, the people writing this are probably the younger equivalent of parents who call all systems "The Nintendo".
This created a consumption-centric culture with its own norms and value systems, clustered around a small number of brands and big-budget franchises while showing little concern for identities other than the prime demographic of the young, white, Western male.
For fuck's sake, how about this instead: "young, white, Western males" have built this industry from the ground up and managed to make quite a bit of money in the process. Not to mention, Japanese developers quickly got into the action and produced games for foreign and domestic markets, so good job on erasing Asian identities, shitlord. One could argue that things were less "grassroots" over there and, after the American games industry crashed, they dominated the home console market for decades, leading to the brand obsession and "two party system" of Sega and Nintendo, but that would fuck up the narrative by not portraying the white man as the source of all things evil and corporate.
[Steam and app stores let you reach a wider audience when you're a small dev]
The potential is there, sure, but we have heard about tons of small devs not making it despite their games being just fine too. I don't think it's really that much different from the 80s or 90s situation: Some games catch on due to word of mouth or press coverage, most don't. It's just that back then games usually gained traction because they were good, not because someone thinks that they deserve attention because the dev is in the right clique.
Cheap and widely-available game-making tools
I have an old-ish book about making games, it came with a CD that had a compiler, an editor and a DirectX 6 (or so) SDK. Got another that had a
Doom-clone engine for DOS. People have used
DarkBasic for cool stuff too.
But it's harder than Twine I guess. RPG Maker came out in 1992 by the way. I think I've said enough about this topic, except that games weren't "hip" or as big as they are now in terms of revenue back then. Hm...
[After talking about Depression Quest and such] What's more, these games do not easily slot into preexisting genres.
Text adventure. Visual novel. Interactive story.
For example, while there exists no official definition of the term serious game, it is often applied to games whose primary purpose is something other than entertainment.
He then gives his, but I'd like to give mine (compatible with his) instead: Serious games are for training people to do a job or to present an issue in an approachable but accurate manner.
Sim Health is probably one of the earliest examples, and games like
Captialism kinda blur the lines between for-fun tycoon game and serious business simulator.
In contrast, the examples above [Depression Quest, Cart Life and so on] are games first and foremost, created independently. They represent an evolution of the form rather than a reappropriation of its mechanics.
... no? Depression Quest or other autobiographic drivel is not some evolution of games or serious games, it's simply a shitty drama "based on a true story" with an on-the-nose sociopolitical message. This is also why I gave my definition earlier: Capitalism is from 1995. But okay, maybe they won't count that because it has no "progressive message" or something, so how about all the environment-focused games that came out around 2000 for example? I know there were a bunch of point and clicks about pollution in the US and our school had some EU-sponsored Sim City 2000-looking game about public transport (can't remember the name, there was an ugly blue-ish remote-style UI in the bottom right though). Those weren't that great for entertainment, granted, but still better "hybrids" of serious and for-fun games than some of the stuff made by the authors.
Also, KSP.
[After something about there being feminist critics of games now] These developments point toward a philosophical shift in the perception of what games are and ought to be. There is, it seems, a newfound willingness among both game designers and critics to engage with games in the context of the world they exist in, as opposed to considering them in a vacuum devoid of social or political forces.
Seems like there is one important group missing from this coalition of the willing. Too bad, guess they have to be dragged, kicking and screaming, into your vision of the future.
In other words, video game culture is finally starting to grow up.
When I think about how the figureheads of that movement act, "mature" or "adult" aren't exactly the first words that come to mind.
[Something about a new wave of games journalism, "post-escapism", that finds meaning beyond entertainment and fun in games. Namely in what they are saying about the world around them.]
Can't you just find a new name for that genre of media? You can call them "art games" if you must, analogous to "art films". Just, please, piss off and leave us alone.
Like all progressive movements, these developments have been met with a backlash.
I WONDER WHY
At its ugliest, this has manifested in the hate mob behaviour of Gamergate, named after the Twitter hashtag #gamergate that first emerged during summer 2014 and that has since snowballed into a loosely defined online movement
Ah, yes, just like Black Lives Matter, a movement named after the hashtag #blacklivesmatter. Wat?
On a basic level, Gamergate has functioned as a focal point for the rampant misogyny that has plagued tech and online culture for decades.
You just described why there really is a backlash: You are propagating an approach to video games/video games journalism that doesn't sit right with people because it ignores or downplays the reasons we like games: Escapism, fun, engagement. But nope, has to be women-hating.
[Blah blah harassment, read the bit by Sarkeesian/Cross for more]
I'd rather not. This is already bad enough.
But Gamergate can also be understood as a reactionary counterforce to the ongoing and rapid
Oh! Oh! "take-over of the games press by people who don't actually give a toss about gaming and genuinely think black people can't be racist"?
maturation of video game culture, and to the progressive voices that are embracing these changes.
I mean, if that's how you want to put it...
Controversies around video games are nothing new. [...] But these accusations have most often come from the outside - from politicians, pundits, and academics with little or no inside understanding of the culture. Gamergate is notable because it is, perhaps for the first time, an attack by one group within video game culture on another.
So why is it then that those "insiders" appear to hate games and gaming culture so much, to the point where they admit trying to force a new view of games that does away with all the silly things the unwashed masses enjoy?
"I'm drinking fizzy water, eating puff pastry canapes and chatting to another colleague about politics in the Philippines. I'm having an OK time."
"Gamers are dead"
I rest my case.
At its core, it represents a civil war for control over the future of games.
And we both know who fucking started it.
On one side are designers and critics arguing that games should be viewed as meaningful tools for understanding the world around us and interplay between human beings, borrowing heavily from progressive and emancipatory movements such as feminism.
I don't think anybody has a problem with those things existing, the issue is that you want to view all games this way and treat them in line with that ideology. To go back to art films: Not a lot of people like those but they have their fans, they are doing their own thing. No issue. But when some arthouse director starts shitting all over mainstream cinema because it "says nothing" people will think that he's kind of an elitist douche. Now imagine that arthouse director and his friends taking over websites and magazines about movies. I'm sure you'd get a mean counter-movement out of that as well.
On the other side are conservative voices wishing for a return to an imagined, perhaps mid-'90s utopia largely exempt from critical analysis beyond the purely technical, thus leaving old norms and hierarchies to stand largely unchallenged.
No, I'm not a conservative, not that that's a bad thing or even relevant to this mess. Games journalism was shit back in the 90s too, but at least not as bad as it is now. I was happy about sites like Kotaku and Polygon at first because they actually sucked less than their older counterparts, but then they started putting out all those "culture criticism" articles that quickly turned into accusations of misogyny instead of discussions. It's okay to have an aside about an art style or character that you find to be creepy or childish, whatever, but when the entire coverage focuses solely on the "problematic" art style and overt misogyny of the developer then that's not really what I want to read. But okay, I was still sorta with you then (I'm talking about Dragon's Crown). Then Mass Effect 3 and all the other BS happened and I realized that that welcome shake-up of games journalism had turned on its own reader base.
You people ARE the new norm in games journalism, and that power has, evidently, gone to your heads.
Enough for today.

I knew it was a relic, but was curious to know a little more about it. (From
http://www.holyface.org.uk/content/sacrivultus.htm) In the Vatican, when Veronica's veil became very vivid and glowed in front of all present while on display, it became a custom in the Vatican to display Veronica's veil every year afterward on Passion Sunday for veneration to the public. Each year, effigies/drawings were created of Veronica's veil (usually about 15" x 12"), then touched to the original veil, to a relic of the true cross, and to the spear that pierced Christ's side. From there, a text description was placed at the bottom (or on the back) of the relic, and the Pope imprinted a wax seal on each. This practice was continued for about 50 years.
