This book is for scholars, educators, and professionals engaged in video game design, design studies, HCI, and digital media at any stage of their careers and with any level of experience. By grounding its findings in real-world practices, it presents an evidence-based framework that can inform future academic inquiry, curriculum development, and professional practice.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Springer\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2026-06-05\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Hardcover\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9783032233196\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 235cm x155cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 96\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer Nature Switzerland","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46548906705036,"sku":"9783032233196","price":62.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9783032233196.jpg?v=1778010160","url":"https:\/\/lateknightbooks.com\/products\/9783032233196","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
