Abstract
Accounts of digital game production are increasingly at the forefront of how we document and theorize conditions and transformations of how cultural media are produced, regulated, distributed, marketed, and consumed. These accounts have typically examined games as a global industry that coexists with and contributes to the formation of national industries, including publisher and studio formations, geopolitics, tax breaks and credits, regional regulatory frameworks, and cultural sovereignty. This introduction to the special issue “Local Game Production” reasserts the analytical value in using locality as an entry point for the study of digital game production. The special issue offers four articles that confront economic, labour, and technical formations in game production, and expose the encounters of localities with globalization. These articles reveal why considerations of the local are critical in understanding the wider infrastructures, governance frameworks, and economies that shape the production of culture through global games. Each article underscores the inequities in how game production localities leverage power via platforms, nation-states and economic regions, and predominant cultural activities.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
