of in-game economies in mobile games, focusing on virtual currencies, trade systems, and item marketplaces. The research explores how virtual economies are structured and how players interact with them, analyzing the balance between supply and demand, currency inflation, and the regulation of in-game resources. Drawing on economic theories of market dynamics and behavioral economics, the paper investigates how in-game economic systems influence player spending, engagement, and decision-making. The study also evaluates the role of developers in maintaining a stable virtual economy and mitigating issues such as inflation, pay-to-win mechanics, and market manipulation. The research provides recommendations for developers to create more sustainable and player-friendly in-game economies.</p> <a href="https://blog-722209705048.mit-edu.top/post/2964183570" class="post-author d-flex align-items-center"> <div class="author-pic"> <img src="https://x.mit-edu.top/static/images/user/9.jpg" alt="The Ethics of Game Addiction Mechanisms in the Context of Adolescent Gamers" title="The Ethics of Game Addiction Mechanisms in the Context of Adolescent Gamers" class="lazyload"> </div> <div class="text"> <strong>Maria Anderson</strong> <span>2025-02-04 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-722209705048.mit-edu.top/post/2643105798"> <img src="https://x.mit-edu.top/static/images/post/8.jpg" alt="Dynamic Scene Reconstruction for Real-Time Interaction in AR Games" title="Dynamic Scene Reconstruction for Real-Time Interaction in AR Games" class="img-fluid lazyload"> </a> </div> <div class="content"> <div class="post-meta mb-3"> <a href="https://blog-2643105798.mit-edu.top/post/2643105798/" target="_blank"> <span class="date">2025-02-04</span> </a> </div> <h2 class="heading"><a href="https://blog-722209705048.mit-edu.top/post/2643105798">Dynamic Scene Reconstruction for Real-Time Interaction in AR Games</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.
