Introduction

The New York chapter of DiGRA aims to facilitate a greater synergy among the wide range of game scholars and game industry professionals located in the NY Metropolitan area. Through a mix of both online and real world platforms, DiGRA NY advocates the interests the NY game scene, maintaining a critical eye on both its issues and opportunities.

Two observations motivate DiGRA NY:

1. The abundance of both game development companies in this area (LargeAnimal, GameLab, TakeTwo) and academic initiatives (Games For Change, TiltFactor Lab) make New York an ideal stomping ground for a DiGRA chapter;
2. a growing approach of games as a form of communication, industry professionals and academics will benefit from collaborating more closely on game design and practice.

The primary objective of DiGRA NY is to consolidate efforts of the various brands of game scholarship and the host of game companies active in the NY Metropolitan area through its operations and activities.
