A unifying model is introduced with the intention of helping to explain how different research position and contributions can co-exist fruitfully in game research.
Abstract
Game research has during recent years grown into a distinct interdisciplinary research field. Building upon theories and methods from a variety of approaches and disciplines, this has provided a source for rapid growth of knowledge about the field but also disagreements about concepts and research practice. Based upon the view that game research needs input from many fields, this paper introduces a unifying model with the intention of helping to explain how different research position and contributions can co-exist fruitfully.
