Abstract

This paper aims at presenting which are the preferences and motives for digital game consumption. In order to do so it departs from a study carried forth with a sample of 182 college-student players and from interviews answered by 5 researchers in the digital game field. Furthermore, so as to discuss the produced data, it presents data from other researches with similar purposes. The paper points out, thus, to tendencies related to age, personality traits, work-activity as guiding the interests and motivations for digital game consumption.
