Game Research Survey, Take Two

Last May, Brant Guillory, a PhD student at Ohio State University who’s doing a comprehensive study of hobby gamers, posted an online survey to study what gamers like about games. Well, Brant’s back with another survey, and here’s what he has to say about it:

Building on lessons learned from last year, as well as some ongoing analyses of the existing data, the project is seeking continue expanding the knowledge of the games world. The study will be focusing on these key areas of motivation.
  • What do game players like in a game?  What do they dislike?  And why?
  • What motivates continued game play and preferences for types of games?
  • Where are games bought and what influences those purchase decisions in light of preferences and motivations?
  • What interactions do gamers have with others?
  • With whom (and where) do gamers play, and how frequently, and how do these decisions influence preferences and motivations?

The survey runs through May 31, 2007. To participate, head over to GameSurvey.org and start clicking. The survey takes 20-30 minutes.
