Hollywood Gamers: Digital Convergence in the Film and Video Game Industries Brookey Robert Alan
For years, major film studios have licensed products related to their most popular films; video game spin-offs have become an important part of these licensing practices. In Hollywood Gamers, Robert Alan Brookey explores the business conditions and technological developments that have facilitated the convergence of the film and video game industries.
