Ylva Grufstedt investigates the role of counterfactuals in uses of history through game designers and through digital strategy games. It discusses the content, form and perspectives that define different types of counterfactuals in the context of game-making - an effort to outline and detail the values and frameworks that shape the past in this popular media.

Ylva Grufstedt, Aalto University, Finland and Malmö University, Sweden.

"A high-quality and welcome addition to scholarship on counterfactuals in gaming, and an excellent contribution to the growing body of work on game production studies." - Thomas Apperley, Centre of Excellence in Game Culture Studies, Tampere University, Finnland
