Research interests relevant to game philosophy

I have two research interests relevant to game philosophy: First, I’m interested in the intrinsic relationship between ethics and aesthetics, and think that certain video games show that artefacts can be artistically meritorious insofar as they manifest immoral attitudes. Second, I focus on the semantics of fictive discourse and the ontology of fictional objects, any theory of which should have something to say about computer game discourse/the characters of virtual worlds.
