The field of game studies has grown substantially since the turn of the century, and yet the field lacks rigorous reference collections on the cultural significance of video game franchises or characters. Such reference collections are needed as it can be difficult for even well-versed scholars to keep track of the range and complexity of the many significant franchises and characters that populate the industry.
