I just got the go ahead from Professor Weisel, and I’m eager to
jump into my New Media term project!
My research topic
will be a look into the field of online and in-person video gamers and their
communities. A lot of people have this negative stereotype that people who play
video games are socially inept, nerds, losers, social outcast, etc. But as
Video Games become more complex and popular, we see that the market is growing
as well as the players of the video games are becoming more diverse. Not only
have gamers created a flourishing community, many professional gamers have been
able to make a living and become profitable off of their hobbies. My research
paper will take all of these aspects into account and give readers insight on
modern day gaming as well as delve deeper into certain specific topics. Check
back for more details as they develop!
Singing off,
Dimitri Lee
