Abstract
There has been much interest in the role that video games play in the process of socialization and the development of subjectivity in contemporary culture (see chapters one, two, and nine in this volume; Linderoth, 2005; Taylor, 2006; Walkerdine, 2004). My aim in this chapter is to capitalize on this emerging work about game play to analyze young people’s game design activities. To do this, I examine how youth draw on their experiences with computer games to design their own games.
