This paper will take a close look of the term agency in Game Studies, identifying how it is presently used (on those occasions when it is) and suggesting how it could be used more cogently. Like so many terms in Game Studies - narrative and immersion as two of the more prominent examples – any author seeking to use the term has first to define it, resulting in a general avoidance of its use.
