At the 2022 Central and Eastern European Game Studies (CEEGS) conference, which took place in Tallinn between October 13 and 15, the members of the Prague Game Production Studies research group altogether presented 5 papers. After a two-year break caused by the Covid-19 pandemic, CEEGS returned as annual conference and provided an opportunity for scholars in the region to re-connect and discuss new research projects. Due to its vicinity to Helsinki, Tallinn’s CEEGS also hosted a large group of Finnish scholars.
