The Missing Link aims to link the worlds of academia and video games. At this 7th annual symposium, we deal with the impact of video games on society and individuals. This symposium is not only of interest to gamers.

In the past decade(s), Video Games have become ever more influential in the world, be that through small mobile games that billions play, to larger AAA titles that make headlines, to smaller individual projects that find their home in more niche communities.

But how has the medium evolved, and how has that evolution and growth altered its impact on society and our perception of it? In this year’s Missing Link we take a few facets of these interactions between games and culture, from the level of the individual to the larger impacts it might have on society, and see what we might learn about this ever more influential digital medium.
