Abstract

The blog text focuses on ice hockey video game research. The context is explicitly Finnish, even if the perspective, player identification, applies internationally. Mähkä’s main point is that the games remain popular one decade after another because they are based on virtual versions of real-life hockey teams and players, which are updated annually.
