Video Games and Gender Assemblages

This book examines why women are often treated with vitriol in the video game industry and communities of play. Using a Deleuzoguattarian lens, it considers the content and production of video games; the affects they amplify and how they impact gender identity; and how affects flow throughout communities of play.
