The academic field of Game Studies has come a long way since its humble beginnings around 1999-2001. But what kind of a field is it? What are the core issues and research problems? And how do we measure its success? And what is a game? I will trace both the evolution of the field and the rise and evolution of ludic communication and representation, and discuss games’ cultural and social impact within its 5000 years’history.
