摘要

之前关于玩家资料或类型的研究是基于玩家在游戏中的行为和他们玩游戏的动机。然而,除了玩游戏之外,还有许多与数字游戏相关的活动。使用学习分析方法,该研究调查了这些不同元游戏活动之间的普遍性和相互联系,并根据玩家对这些活动的使用情况对他们进行了不同的分类。结果表明,与数字游戏相关的信息寻找活动是关键的元游戏活动,并与其他元游戏活动相联系。根据他们的元游戏活动,我们可以区分出三种不同的玩家类型:全能元游戏玩家、策略玩家和休闲元游戏玩家。这一结果有助于现有的元游戏文献,并为游戏研究、游戏设计和营销以及数字游戏和学习提供见解。

A Typology of Metagamers: Identifying Player Types Based on Beyond the Game Activities
Previous research on player profiles or types is based on players’ in-game behaviors and their motivations to play games. However, there are many other activities related to digital games beyond playing the games properly. Using learning analytics methods, the study investigates the prevalence and interconnections between these different metagame activities and classifies gamers based on their use thereof into distinct profiles. The results show that digital game–related information-seeking activities are key metagame activities with connections to other metagame activities. Three distinct profiles of players were identified based on their metagame activities: versatile metagamers, strategizers, and casual metagamers. The results contribute to the existing literature on metagaming and provide insights for game studies, game design and marketing, and digital games and learning.
