considerations of marketing practices in the mobile game industry, focusing on how developers target players through personalized ads, in-app purchases, and player data analysis. The study investigates the ethical implications of targeting vulnerable populations, such as minors, by using persuasive techniques like loot boxes, microtransactions, and time-limited offers. Drawing on ethical frameworks in marketing and consumer protection law, the paper explores the balance between business interests and player welfare, emphasizing the importance of transparency, consent, and social responsibility in game marketing. The research also offers recommendations for ethical advertising practices that avoid manipulation and promote fair treatment of players.</p> <a href="https://blog-611839396788.mit-edu.top/post/3465901728" 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="Data Privacy in Mobile Gaming: Risks and Best Practices" title="Data Privacy in Mobile Gaming: Risks and Best Practices" class="lazyload"> </div> <div class="text"> <strong>Justin Brooks</strong> <span>2025-02-05 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-611839396788.mit-edu.top/post/1489536207"> <img src="https://x.mit-edu.top/static/images/post/10.jpg" alt="The Use of Serious Games in Promoting Financial Literacy Among Adolescents" title="The Use of Serious Games in Promoting Financial Literacy Among Adolescents" class="img-fluid lazyload"> </a> </div> <div class="content"> <div class="post-meta mb-3"> <a href="https://blog-1489536207.mit-edu.top/post/1489536207/" target="_blank"> <span class="date">2025-02-05</span> </a> </div> <h2 class="heading"><a href="https://blog-611839396788.mit-edu.top/post/1489536207">The Use of Serious Games in Promoting Financial Literacy Among Adolescents</a></h2> <p class="info">This research applies behavioral economics theories to the analysis of in-game purchasing behavior in mobile games, exploring how psychological factors such as loss aversion, framing effects, and the endowment effect influence players' spending decisions. The study investigates the role of game design in encouraging or discouraging spending behavior, particularly within free-to-play models that rely on microtransactions. The paper examines how developers use pricing strategies, scarcity mechanisms, and rewards to motivate players to make purchases, and how these strategies impact player satisfaction, long-term retention, and overall game profitability. The research also considers the ethical concerns associated with in-game purchases, particularly in relation to vulnerable players.</p> <a href="https://blog-611839396788.mit-edu.top/post/1489536207" class="post-author d-flex align-items-center"> <div class="author-pic"> <img src="https://x.mit-edu.top/static/images/user/2.jpg" alt="The Use of Serious Games in Promoting Financial Literacy Among Adolescents" title="The Use of Serious Games in Promoting Financial Literacy Among Adolescents" class="lazyload"> </div> <div class="text"> <strong>Cynthia Bailey</strong> <span>2025-02-05 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-611839396788.mit-edu.top/post/7132405689"> <img src="https://x.mit-edu.top/static/images/post/1.jpg" alt="The Role of Virtual Games in Global Disaster Preparedness Training" title="The Role of Virtual Games in Global Disaster Preparedness Training" class="img-fluid lazyload"> </a> </div> <div class="content"> <div class="post-meta mb-3"> <a href="https://blog-7132405689.mit-edu.top/post/7132405689/" target="_blank"> <span class="date">2025-02-05</span> </a> </div> <h2 class="heading"><a href="https://blog-611839396788.mit-edu.top/post/7132405689">The Role of Virtual Games in Global Disaster Preparedness Training</a></h2> <p class="info">This paper critically analyzes the role of mobile gaming in reinforcing or challenging socioeconomic stratification, particularly in developing and emerging markets.
