The study of religion and video games is a subfield of digital religion, which the American scholar of communication, Heidi Campbell, defines as "Religion that is constituted in new ways through digital media and cultures." Video games once struggled for legitimacy as a cultural product; today, however, they are both business and art. Video games increasingly turn to religion not just as ornament but as core elements of their video game design and play.
