Vol. 14 No. 1 (2023): Futures of Games and Game Studies

This issue of Eludamos is aimed at reflecting upon both the present state and possible futures of games, game studies, and the world. The papers collected here contribute to an engaged and open-ended social critique not only attempting to achieve improved understanding (negative critical mode) but also trying to actively question and change conditions identified as problematic (positive reconstructive mode). For this purpose, we have gathered seven scholarly articles, one book review, and one commentary that all address potential futures of games, play, game development, and game studies from critical and (re)constructive vantage points.
