Abstract: A decade after the technology allowed the “domestication” of video games and after their full integration into the everyday life and practice of large audience, the fascination exerted by interactivity and the digital revolution of the early 2000s led to the emergence of new academic collocations, known as game studies (Aarseth, 2001) or video game theory (Wolf & Peron, 2003).
