I am investigating the effects of nostalgia on video game choices. There are many different reasons as to why people play video games, and I am looking to find this reason. More specifically, I am looking to see if the reason is because of nostalgia.

Participation in this study is voluntary. Do not feel pressured into taking this survey.

The procedure includes filling out an online survey that will take approximately 3 minutes. Your responses will be confidential, and we do not collect identifying information such as your name, email address or IP address. The survey will ask questions about age and gender in order to see the audience of the games currently and in the past. The survey will also ask about your gaming preferences out of 5 chosen franchises. Finally, the survey will ask about your purpose for gaming. These will help to determine the common reason people buy these video games.

I will do my best to keep your information confidential. All data is stored in a password protected electronic format. To help protect your confidentiality, the surveys will not contain information that will personally identify you. The results of this study will be used for scholarly purposes only.

If you have any questions concerning this survey, please contact me at nostalgiagamingsci@gmail.com. If you would like a report on the results of the survey, please send your information to the previously stated email address.

Thank you.
