Jean Baudrillard and the Definitive Ambivalence of Gaming

Abstract

Baudrillard's “game” was writing and in it, he had interesting things to say about games. This article explores his thought concerning our passion for games and the experimental role gamers perform in our culture. It concludes that Baudrillard was ambivalent about gaming despite the fact that he saw it as a central aspect of the obsession of our age—the lack of distinction between the real and the virtual.
