Editorial: The End of Gamers July 21, 2008 - by Ian Bogost I have an editorial up on Edge today in their Keynotes section. The title on Edge is "The End of Gamers," which is lurid but might not capture the main argument of the piece, which is more like "Things People Do with Games." That said, I'm on the record more times than one criticizing the notion of a demographic category of "gamers," so there you go. In this piece you can see my latest take on serious games as well as get a preview of a new, larger writing project that I should be ready to say more about this fall. POST A COMMENT
