Playing Across Media: Exploring Transtextuality in Competitive Games and eSports
Ben Egliston's "Playing Across Media" argues that competitive games such as Valve's Dota 2 have become "dually played and surveilled" spaces, where professional broadcast play, spectator platforms like Twitch.tv, and surrounding media blur the boundaries of the game itself.
- Egliston argues that competitive games like Valve's Dota 2 have become "dually played and surveilled" spaces, where professional broadcasts, spectator platforms such as Twitch.tv, and surrounding media blur the boundaries of the game itself.
- Drawing on Gérard Genette's paratext framework extended into a broader concept of transtextuality, the paper proposes that guides, tournament broadcasts, and statistics platforms act as strategies that amateurs reconfigure as tactics, with professional play serving as a proxy for these paratexts.
- The central claim is that amateur players draw game knowledge from professional broadcasts while also exerting reciprocal influence on professional play, so influence runs in both directions rather than purely top-down.
