Maria Ruotsalainen and I published some fresh new research in the newest issue of Eludamos! "Young video game players’ self-identified toxic gaming behaviour An interview study" is available open access at the link attached. A few comments below. #gamestudies#gameresearch

Key points: - Especially online gaming spaces are often intensive and very heavily affectively charged. - This intensity combines with game cultural norms and the different affordances provided by the game to produce negative behaviour. 1/
