[ecrea] Book Announcement: Rated M for Mature: Sex and Sexuality in Video Games

Rated M for Mature: Sex and Sexuality in Video Games edited by Matthew 
Wysocki and Evan Wl Lauteria

Available from Bloomsbury Academic

The word sex has many implications when it is used in connection with 
video games. As game studies scholars have argued, games are 
player-driven experiences. Players must participate in processes of play 
to move the game forward. The addition of content that incorporates sex 
and/or sexuality adds complexity that other media do not share.

Rated M for Mature further develops our understanding of the practices 
and activities of video games, specifically focusing on the intersection 
of games with sexual content. From the supposed scandal of “Hot Coffee” 
to the emergence of same-sex romance options in RPGs, the collection 
explores the concepts of sex and sexuality in the area of video games. -
