"The State of Play" is a collection of essays on the subject, edited by Daniel Goldberg and Linus Larsson, and is an ideal read for people with an interest in academic concerns about gaming but without a deep theoretical background.The essays are by a number of established commentators and creators, including the likes of Anita Sarkeesian and Zoe Quinn. The subjects are varied, but many deal with ways in which games interact (or fail to interact, or could interact) with issues of race, gender, and sexuality. For example, Hussein Ibrahim, who is of Arabic descent, discusses the widespread use of quasi-Arab enemies in games, while Merritt Kopas considers how sex and relationships might be handled in a manner that doesn’t emphasize “winning,” and Sarkeesian and Katherine Cross examine the forms misogyny can take in the gaming community.A few of the essays slip into jargon or heavy-handedness, but only a few; for the most part these are remarkably accessible explorations of complex topics. That means all gamers can read and benefit from them. As the title suggests, the essays as a whole paint something of a picture of where we are, with a few hints of where we could go from here. It’s not exhaustive, but it is telling, and for gamers who are curious about the bigger issues games can and do point to, it’s a good place to start.~ ### ⭐⭐ Most of the book's material is copied from the blogs of the various authors. *by J***R on Reviewed in the United States on December 13, 2015* I was hoping for new insights and opinions, unfortunately the majority of the book is blog posts and articles I've already read online. While I enjoyed many of those articles, I feel slightly cheated that I just purchased a book containing things I've already read and that I still can read for free elsewhere. I want to support the authors and I agree with most of what they say, but once again I bought much of what I had already read for free. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.tn/products/19264551-the-state-of-play-creators-and-critics-on-video-game](https://www.desertcart.tn/products/19264551-the-state-of-play-creators-and-critics-on-video-game) --- *Product available on Desertcart Tunisia* *Store origin: TN* *Last updated: 2026-08-24*
