GameCulture Launches!

The ECA has launched the beta version of its newest website, GameCulture.  The Gameculture website will focus on how videogames, game technology, and game culture are changing the world around us.

ECA President Hal Halpin had this to say:

“We couldn’t be more excited to introduce GameCulture, or more blessed to have Aaron heading it up. It’s absolutely core to our [ECA] mission that we redefine the label ‘gamer’ and in doing so reverse the negative stereotypes which anti-games legislators and anti-gamer advocates have created.”

GameCulture was designed and will be managed by veteran journalist Aaron Ruby, co-author of Smartbomb, a 2005 New York Times Editor’s Pick.  Aaron had this to say:

“I’m really looking forward to the launch of GameCulture. One of the best kept secrets about videogames is that regardless of whether you like them or hate them, games are profoundly influencing every facet of our culture, from the esoteric to the everyday.

It’s not just about entertainment anymore. The intersection of games and culture is a fascinating place, and the ECA web team did an amazing job of building a site that offers something new to dedicated gamers while remaining relevant for those who don’t normally follow game media.”
