[Commlist] Eludamos new issue published vol. 14 no. 1: Futures of Games and Game Studies

On behalf of the editorial team at /Eludamos: Journal for Computer Game 
Culture/, I am delighted to announce that we have just published our 
latest issue!

You can find the issue at eludamos.org 
<https://septentrio.uit.no/index.php/eludamos/index>, or with the 
issue’s DOI: https://doi.org/10.7557/23.141 <https://doi.org/10.7557/23.141>

This issue of /Eludamos /is aimed at reflecting upon both the present 
state and possible futures of games, game studies, and the world. The 
papers collected here contribute to an engaged and open-ended social 
critique not only attempting to achieve improved understanding (negative 
critical mode) but also trying to actively question and change 
conditions identified as problematic (positive reconstructive mode). For 
this purpose, we have gathered seven scholarly articles, one book 
review, and one commentary that all address potential futures of games, 
play, game development, and game studies from critical and 
(re)constructive vantage points.
