- Authors
Stouraitis, Elias
- Abstract
Living in the era of the fourth Industrial Revolution is characterized as a turning point in post contemporary societies since people bring together different cultures and collective memories through searching, sharing, transferring, visualizing, querying and updating several data. Within this spectrum, the constructors and players of digital games constantly produce data by creating new game material or just playing. Game data and game mechanics combined with fun provide users with a sense of the past. The greatest interaction between data and games' mechanics is well-known in Massively Multiplayer Online Games (MMOGs) through which anyone can participate and collaborate with anyone around the world. This article will clarify the origins and the meaning of Massively Multiplayer Online Games' historical culture including some reflective ideas on how these games change the notion of history.
