Gameology: Commentary and Resources for the Game Studies Community

Ian, thank you for the thoughtful and careful remarks. There's a lot there that's interestingly different rather than irreconcilable. Everyone is entitled to the detournément of one element from another's discourse into the idiom of their choice, which is how i would rewrite 'unit operations' here. (Of course at some cost to the original formulation).

You are also right that the disagreement would be about representation, but i would want to say that games are not merely representations, or indeed are least interesting as representations. (Perhaps i'm closer to Galloway here).
