Games of Empire: Global Capitalism and Video Games is Dyer-Witheford's third book, published in 2009 and cowritten with Greg de Peuter. In it they talk about how the history of video games has shown how
capitalism has shaped the means of how the
video game industry works. It serves as an analytical approach to areas such as control, industry and expenditure over the short life of video games.
Critical reception The book received mixed reviews from its readers. Dr.Joseph Rebello, assistant professor of economics at the
John Jay College of Criminal Justice, said "Reactions, both positive and negative, to this work have been strong. This is not the place to rehash existing debates, but a reader uncomfortable with the very concepts of empire and multitude will probably not be entirely convinced by the book's arguments concerning imperial and multitudinous games. That being said, the book offers plenty of insight to anyone interested in the political economy of video games (or that of popular media). == Accolades ==
