Digital and video games, which can be traced back to the very early days of digital computers in the 1950s, have rapidly become a major form of entertainment, pop culture and artistic expression, and have even contributed to other sectors, e.g. with serious games, through discipline-specific methods. Supported by a flourishing industry, academic research and dedicated players, they are now largely recognised as a valuable part of our cultural heritage.
