ethical and psychological implications of microtransaction systems in mobile games, particularly in free-to-play models. The study examines how microtransactions, which allow players to purchase in-game items, cosmetics, or advantages, influence player behavior, spending habits, and overall satisfaction. Drawing on ethical theory and psychological models of consumer decision-making, the paper explores how microtransactions contribute to the phenomenon of “pay-to-win,” exploitation of vulnerable players, and player frustration. The research also evaluates the psychological impact of loot boxes, virtual currency, and in-app purchases, offering recommendations for ethical monetization practices that prioritize player well-being without compromising developer profitability.</p> <a href="https://blog-030570037167.mit-edu.top/post/5184607392" class="post-author d-flex align-items-center"> <div class="author-pic"> <img src="https://x.mit-edu.top/static/images/user/4.jpg" alt="Analyzing the Impact of Virtual Currency Exchange Rates on Player Spending Patterns" title="Analyzing the Impact of Virtual Currency Exchange Rates on Player Spending Patterns" class="lazyload"> </div> <div class="text"> <strong>Jason Morris</strong> <span>2025-02-02 published post</span> </div> </a> </div> </div> </div> <div class="col-lg-12"> <div class="post-entry d-md-flex small-horizontal mb-5"> <div class="me-md-5 thumbnail mb-3 mb-md-0"> <a href="https://blog-030570037167.mit-edu.top/post/1769340285"> <img src="https://x.mit-edu.top/static/images/post/7.jpg" alt="Security Vulnerabilities in AR-Based Games: An AI-Driven Threat Mitigation Approach" title="Security Vulnerabilities in AR-Based Games: An AI-Driven Threat Mitigation Approach" class="img-fluid lazyload"> </a> </div> <div class="content"> <div class="post-meta mb-3"> <a href="https://blog-1769340285.mit-edu.top/post/1769340285/" target="_blank"> <span class="date">2025-02-02</span> </a> </div> <h2 class="heading"><a href="https://blog-030570037167.mit-edu.top/post/1769340285">Security Vulnerabilities in AR-Based Games: An AI-Driven Threat Mitigation Approach</a></h2> <p class="info">Virtual avatars, meticulously crafted extensions of the self, embody players' dreams, fears, and aspirations, allowing for a profound level of self-expression and identity exploration within the vast digital landscapes. Whether customizing the appearance, abilities, or personality traits of their avatars, gamers imbue these virtual representations with elements of their own identity, creating a sense of connection and ownership.
