“…Given the limitations of the existing methods discussed above, it may be useful when moving forward as a field to consider various systems that have been used in the media studies literature to classify games. This literature includes a host of systems that differ based on the extent to which they use game experiences and motivations, mechanics, or structure, or a combination of gaming experiences and structure to differentiate between game genres. Many of the approaches in the media studies domain use a combination of qualitative and quantitative methods in order to construct taxonomies.…”

A growing body of literature has investigated the effects of playing video games on brain function and behavior. One key takeaway from this literature has been that not all entertainment video games are created equal with respect to their effects on cognitive functioning. The majority of the research to date has contrasted the cognitive impact of playing first‐ or third‐person shooter games (together dubbed “action video games”) against the effects of playing other game types. Indeed, when the research began in the late 1990s, action video games placed a load upon the perceptual, attentional, and cognitive systems in a manner not seen in other video games. However, the video game industry has shifted dramatically over the intervening years. In particular, first‐ and third‐person shooter games are no longer unique in the extent to which they load upon cognitive abilities. Instead, a host of other game genres appear to place similar degrees of load upon these systems. This state of affairs calls for a paradigm shift in the way that the cognitive neuroscience field examines the impact of video game play on cognitive skills and their neural mediators—a shift that is only just now slowly occurring.

There is growing concern about the addictive potential of Massively Multiplayer Online Role Playing Games (MMORPG). The MultiplayerOnline Battle Arena (MOBA) is a new genre, poorly studied but very popular, in which performance holds priority over immersion. The aim of the current study was to explore the influence of passion both on abuse and performance, using the dualistic model of passion.A total of 369 participants completed an online questionnaire that included problematic use and the Passion Scale. From players' nicknames, performance statistics were obtained. The results show that harmonious passion is a protector from negative consequences.On the other hand, obsessive passion predicts negative consequences and use of videogames for evasion. Obsessive passion also predicts better performance. These results suggest that distinguishing the two kinds of passion is important because they influence vulnerability to developing maladaptive behaviors and also players' performance.

“…Em consonância a esse cenário, não há dúvidas de que os jogos eletrônicos em suas diferentes plataformas estão mais populares e rentáveis do que nunca (KAHN, et al, 2015;LLORENS, 2017). Mais do que isso, com o advento da internet, os jogos eletrônicos ganharam outra dimensão, expandindo as redes relacionais entre jogadores do mundo todo (BERTRAN; CHAMARRO, 2016).…”

“…E um dos casos mais paradigmáticos na indústria dos jogos eletrônicos, que tem consubstanciado a questão do e-Sports no globo, é o jogo online da produtora Riot Games -"League of Legends". Em síntese, trata-se de um dos jogos multiplayers mais jogados ao redor do mundo, movimentando cifras na casa dos bilhões de dólares anuais, estimulado pela prática amadora e profissional (KAHN, et al, 2015;LI, 2016;LLORENS, 2017;GRAY et al, 2018). Portanto, não à atoa, vemos que esse game tem sido cada vez mais objeto de investigação em várias pesquisas sobre determinados contextos.…”

RESUMO: Com a chegada da segunda modernidade ou pós-modernidade temos presenciado inúmeras mudanças na sociedade. Dentre as principais, tem se destacado o desenvolvimento tecnológico. A influência é tão grande que a tecnologia já se encontra presente em vários segmentos de nossas vidas, principalmente em atividades de lazer e entretenimento. Nessa esteira, podemos exemplificar a expansão dos jogos eletrônicos, em especial, o caso paradigmático do League of Legends que é um dos títulos mais jogados ao redor do mundo. Em linhas gerais, esse jogo, em particular, abriu a discussão para o processo de esportivização dos jogos eletrônicos, gerando questionamentos tanto no âmbito do senso comum como também no campo acadêmicocientifico. Sabendo dessa inquietação, este estudo teve por objetivo compreender o campo do League of Legends, percorrendo pela estrutura do subcampo dos profissionais até o espaço da reprodução inventiva.
