Who are we?
We are Krzesimir and Matti, two game design students from Uppsala University and are both avid gamers and part of different esport communities. This topic of contributing to esport communities is of interest to us since it is a huge part of the stability, reach and availability of a game and is more or less driven by the players. We seek to find if there are correlations between how much people play these games and how much they contribute to their communities and how much other factors like social norms and expectations affect.
What do we need help with?
In order to gather our data, we would like to conduct interviews with people within different esport communities. By participating, you’ll have your own share in the community and scientific world! The only thing is that you need to play esports games for 10 hours or more weekly. The interview would consist of questions about your gaming habits, which kind of communities you interact with and how you interact with them. We are expecting the interview to last for about 45 minutes and will be conducted over Discord, Skype etc.
If this is something that interests you, please answer this message or submit your email to this google survey now! We’ll contact you shortly after.
