Recensioner i media

‘The divide between videogame marketing and videogame development has stood cavernous. In this text, Zackariasson and Dymek simultaneously forge new connections between these worlds and bridge gaps between games as art and games as business. In doing so, the book contributes significantly to our understanding of games and videogames as cultural products rather than simply "toys" or software sold for entertainment. Videogames are serious business.’ - Casey O’Donnell, Associate Professor in the Department of Media and Information, Michigan State University, USA
