What does love have to do with games? As games have developed in
complexity, they have increasingly started to include narratives
that seek to engage with love in a variety of ways. Whilst media
attention often seems to focus on more violent emotions and
behavior in games, love has always been a central part of the
gaming experience. We love to play games, we have titles that we
experience love towards, and sometimes we love too much, or love
terrible games for their mistakes. Love in games therefore, is
rather like love in life - it can be complicated, unexpected and
difficult but also fun, enlightening and powerful. The authors of
this collection aim for the first time to unpack the meaning and
role of love in games by examining some of these aspects. Love is
hard to reproduce in games, and we trace a number of ways - from
coding to cosplay, in which love can be expressed in, for and
around games. Investigating how games can start to think about love
in exciting, in-depth ways is also key to understanding the growing
importance of games and gamers as important cultural markers, since
it points to gaming as growing in maturity in its attempt to
address such a varied subject.
