WHAT IS A VIDEO GAME?

Marco Accordi Rickards

Video games have now firmly entered the economy, the collective imagination, and nearly all spheres of contemporary society, increasingly characterized by the concept of interaction. Not only do they reign in the realm of entertainment, representing the most flourishing and growing cultural industry, but they also serve as a formidable vehicle for enhancing disciplines such as history and the sciences.

Simultaneously, mass media periodically thrust social concerns related to them into the public's attention, attempting to scrutinize them. Therefore, it is not pointless to ponder what a video game truly is. The book provides an answer to this question by delving into its identity, discerning its nature, and narrating it in its various manifestations.
