MultiPlay supports a multidisciplinary approach to video game studies. Our membership is comprised of media scholars, sociologists, education researchers, and researchers in the field of game development. We believe in a multidisciplinary approach to games studies, as video games and digital play expands in influence across sectors and industries.
