Extra-Game Broadcasting

The broadcasting of game events in other media than that in which the gameplay occurs in.

This pattern is a still a stub.

Examples

Sports such as Soccer and Ice Hockey, which have reached wide enough popularity are often broad-casted both nationally and internationally. This has also happened to some computer-based games, e.g. the Starcraft series in South Korea.

Games residing on social media platforms, e.g. FarmVille and Mafia Wars, make use of the various messaging functionality available to make it possible to share what is happening in the game. This may be simply to divulge the progress but can also be to request help or brag.

Using the pattern
