Wikis. Wikis and people who copy from them and pretend not to in order to seem more pop-cultured or whatever. Next question, fox.

Like with other professions there are college professors who write on this. They publish books and papers. Than there is the odd passionate person who also publishes books and papers after gathering primary sources. Again it's very much like other disciplines.It's just that gamers are the absolute bottom of the barrel. I doubt most of you even know what a primary source is or why it's important.

After a cursory search on Amazon this is the only decent-looking reasonably comprehensive scholarly general history of video games I could find (almost everything else is either pop histories for idiots or AI slop), though only the first volume seems to be out so far.

No one cared about game history until relatively recently, everyone thought of vidya as inferior toys as even toy history is more respected and taken seriously. No one actually researches it besides random nerds on the internet.

>Who writes video game history? We have movie historians and music historians that contextualize the artforms and genres of those mediums Universities offer video game history classes as part of a fine arts degree. Quite a few people now have PhDs in video game history. They become professors and teach others.They are over a half century old now so thry are starting to be taken seriously by academics.
