the field of study of videogames and the videogame industry is (i feel) vastly unexplored by major institutions because it doesn't really belong to any established field..
it's not quite computer science.. it's not quite economics.. and few professors are willing to waste their time on this kind of stuff.. most are worried about tenure, so they look for more significant contributions, and the ones that are post-tenure have usually lost or changed interests..
