investigates the 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-195628358273.mit-edu.top/post/3791064852" class="post-author d-flex align-items-center"> <div class="author-pic"> <img src="https://x.mit-edu.top/static/images/user/20.jpg" alt="Differentiable Neural Architecture Search for Procedural Content Generation in Mobile Games" title="Differentiable Neural Architecture Search for Procedural Content Generation in Mobile Games" class="lazyload"> </div> <div class="text"> <strong>Harold Matthews</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-195628358273.mit-edu.top/post/3795846021"> <img src="https://x.mit-edu.top/static/images/post/8.jpg" alt="The Ethics of Representing Historical Events in Game Narratives" title="The Ethics of Representing Historical Events in Game Narratives" class="img-fluid lazyload"> </a> </div> <div class="content"> <div class="post-meta mb-3"> <a href="https://blog-3795846021.mit-edu.top/post/3795846021/" target="_blank"> <span class="date">2025-02-02</span> </a> </div> <h2 class="heading"><a href="https://blog-195628358273.mit-edu.top/post/3795846021">The Ethics of Representing Historical Events in Game Narratives</a></h2> <p class="info">Esports has risen as a global phenomenon, transforming skilled gamers into celebrated athletes.
