Game studies have basically been conceived as an interdisciplinary field that has attempted to develop a broad framework for the study of games (this includes video games, board games and interactive stories). They have described the experiences of developers and the communities that surround them, as well as ontologies, methodologies, etc. However, it is necessary to continue researching around games, integrating new directions of studies with the intention of opening the field to new ideas and people.
