Notes
1 Though, to be fair, How Pac-Man Eats does not invent new concepts, but rather fleshes out the author's earlier work with Michael Mateas (Citation2009).
2 While Wardup-Fruin cites work from Ruberg and Murray, it is not in service of any larger discussion surrounding games and/as culture. He is clearly aware of these conversations; I only wish they were integrated into his work.
3 The author's definition of indies as “all those seeking to bring independent visions and voices to video games” seems outmoded and arguably limited the range of games analyzed (31). It also points to a larger quandary for games research—that of accounting for the sheer volume of tiny games in obscure corners of the Internet.
