Итог

Tracing a practice called "playing American" through the stages of videogame development, gameplay, and reception, this book delineates how aspects of American culture are reproduced transnationally through popular open-world videogames. Case studies of the Grand Theft Auto, Watch Dogs, and Red Dead Redemption franchises highlight different figurations of this phenomenon.
