| Popis | Platform gaming introduces a novel legal terrain shaped by user-generated content and community-driven norm creation. This paper explores how gaming communities not only produce content but also construct social and ethical norms that influence platform governance. Drawing on Weinberger’s and MacCormick’s institutional theory, it argues that platform rules function as institutional facts, enabling providers to perform legally significant acts via code. Community practices, such as reporting, modding, and norm negotiation, serve as inputs that shape these norms and contest the sovereign power of the provider. The analysis reveals how participatory rule design emerges from the interplay between formal platform authority and distributed user activity, challenging traditional models of digital sovereignty. |
