The Philadelphia Inquirer mentions ludology in a news story on video games and learning. People quoted: James Paul Gee, Henry Jenkins, Justin Hall, Greg Lastowka. (I.e. US-centric, but never mind.)
I guess the use of ludology without any references is an indication that the word is now mainstream. Yup.
US-centric? What, kind of like the Copenhagen daily newspapers Denmark-centrically tend to ring people in Denmark rather than in other countries?
:)
It’s cool that ludology’s gone mainstream!
Something like that – considering that the US has around 56 times the population of Denmark, it’s quite reasonable …
