In understanding how blackness is viewed by players in online pc gaming, it is imperative to look at how blackness and black people are viewed and portrayed in AAA industry titles. While, these two categories are not always in direct contact, there exist an undeniable connection between games spaces and the games industry, in that AAA titles often set a precedence for what is and is not acceptable for other games. While, there are forms of resistance from entities like Indie game companies, popular AAA titles still work as the hegemonic umbrella which informs the rest of the games market. Thus, it is imperative to examine how blackness is portrayed within AAA games to see how smaller markets and spaces may have been informed.
