“…The researchers’ conclusion—namely that a handful of predominantly United States and China-based companies take in the majority of app-based revenue—is indicative of the economic power asymmetries across regions and companies. Moreover, despite the supposed “democratization” of the tools of game production described by Maxwell Foxman (2019), Apple’s App Store is a winner-takes-all economy par excellence .…”

This introduction to the second special collection of articles on the platformization of the cultural industries foregrounds research methods and practices. Drawing from the 12 articles included in this collection, as well as the 14 articles published in the first collection, we identify commonalities in approaches, consistencies in traditions, and uniform modes of analysis. We argue that approaches that have been deployed in media industry studies for decades—semi-structured interviews, discourse analysis, content analysis, and participant observation—remain productive. At the same time, transformations in the temporalities and curation of cultural production require updated modes of investigation and analysis. As such, we spotlight contributors’ novel methods and innovative theoretical approaches, such as the walkthrough method and multi-sided market theory.

“…For developers across the globe, game engines have undoubtedly lowered the bar to create games. In the words of Keogh (2019, p. 26), “Videogames have obtained their printing press through the rise and acceptance of third-party engines.” Yes, but in moves fully in accordance with the broader process of platformization, these “platform tools” have locked-in “industry ideologies in the ideation, production, implementation, and distribution of digital creative work” and by doing so constricting creative and ideological alternatives (Foxman, 2019, p. 1). By virtue of its industry dominance, Unity has set expectations about the standards for content genres, the identity of its users, and the very future of new technologies, particularly virtual reality applications (Foxman, 2019).…”

This article interrogates Dyer-Witheford and De Peuter’s Games of Empire. Since its publication in 2009, the game industry evolved significantly, adding billions of players, dollars, and devices. One of the driving forces of this transformation has been the global diffusion of mobile media. This raises the question: Do mobile platforms and the app stores operated by Apple and Google allow for a radical departure from global hypercapitalism? This question will be explored by taking on three themes: shifts in labor, the political economy of platformization, and the capital-intensive mode of app production and circulation. Doing so addresses two gaps in Games of Empire’ s approach: a dearth of empirical economic analysis and the acknowledgment of work in critical platform studies and mainstream economics. It is concluded that rather than providing a staging ground for dissent or collective action, apps of empire signal the foreclosure of an exodus from global hypercapitalism.
