Abstract
In this paper, we introduce the concept of abusive game design as
an attitude towards creating games – an aesthetic practice that
operates as a critique of certain conventionalisms in popular game
design wisdom. We emphasize that abusive game design is, at its
core, about spotlighting the dialogic relation between player and
designer.
