title = "A CRITIQUE OF VIDEOGAME PRODUCTION ON THE BLOCKCHAIN: GAME DESIGN, ETHICS, AESTHETICS, MONEY",
abstract = "This study addresses the processes of emergence of videogame production using the blockchain. The videogame sector is touted to become one of the major fields of experimentation of the blockchain. Innovative technologies, cross-gaming, blurred boundaries between virtual and real world and new forms of exchanges are already being tested. This sector will probably contribute to the adoption of blockchain and cryptocurrencies by the general public via a spillover effect. We will interrogate the postulates of the nascent emergence of blockchain technologies in the video game industries through its reapproapriation by artists using blockchain technologies in the production of critical video games. Our research, drawing from the existing literature on the blockchain in video games, on documentation and interviews from the actors active in the integration of blockchain technologies in video games, and from documentations relating to new media artists use of the blockchain in their work, is based on the proposition that blockchain technology is reconfiguring game development and that an analysis of the processes, norms and aesthetics underlying such reconfiguration is timely.",
