The study of online gaming is changing. It is no longer enough to
analyse one type of online community in order to understand the
plethora of players who take part in online worlds and the
behaviours they exhibit. MacCallum-Stewart studies the different
ways in which online games create social environments and how
players choose to interpret these. These games vary from the
immensely popular social networking games on Facebook such as
Farmville to Massively Multiplayer Online Roleplaying Games to
"Free to Play" online gaming and console communities such as
players of Xbox Live and PS3 games. Each chapter deals with a
different aspect of social gaming online, breaking down when games
are social and what narrative devices make them so. This
cross-disciplinary study will appeal to those interested in
cyberculture, the evolution of gaming technology, and sociologies
of media.
