Online Gaming Communities and Their Governance Structures

In the broadest sense, a gaming community is an online community that is centered on interaction through game. A computer game, in this context, will mean something that one uses primarily as for a hobby, a diversion from real life, and is a medium through which one plays. The primary reason to have a community centered on a game is so that its members’ playing experience is enriched.
