Usage vs. rhetoric

Submitted by Ian Bogost (not verified) – Sat, 2006 – 12 – 02 11:02

I'm not sure I want Google to decide anything, but "video games" is clearly more common than "videogame." I use the latter for the rhetorical reasons described above, but I'm admittedly less concerned about splitting hairs over whether we need the space or not, compared with using one or the other instead of one of the less desirable alternatives described above.
