I'm honored to say that the paper I presented at the Digital Games Research Association (DiGRA) Conference back in 2011 has now been published as part of the inaugural issue of the Transactions of the Digital Games Research Association (ToDiGRA) Journal. The paper is called "Breaking Reality: Exploring Pervasive Cheating in Foursquare"(html/pdf).From the journal's press release: "ToDiGRA is a refereed, open access, quarterly, international, multidisciplinary journal dedicated to research on, and practice in, all aspects of games. ToDiGRA is published electronically and in print via its partner ETC Press".
