The Videogame Industry Does Not Exist, my new book with @themitpress is out now! This is my attempt to intervene in how we talk and think about gamemaking as not just an entertainment industry but as a cultural field, built up from complex tensions between commercial and creative pressures and identities.

It's open access, and you can read it here: https://direct.mit.edu/books/oa-monograph/5572/The-Videogame-Industry-Does-Not-ExistWhy-We-Should

I wrote a long thread on Twitter with a bunch of excerpts which I won't reproduce here, but it's there if you're interested: https://twitter.com/BRKeogh/status/1648452116749643778
