Research on video game culture has highlighted its social nature as Hand and Moore (2006) have argued for the consideration of video gamers as a ‘community’, while it has been traditionally suggested that gaming is an ‘anti-social’ activity, ethnographic research suggests that gaming is formed in the context of existing social and cultural networks, friendships as well as relationships (Rutter & Bryce, 2006).
