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-963926812176.mit-edu.top/post/0456732819" class="post-author d-flex align-items-center"> <div class="author-pic"> <img src="https://x.mit-edu.top/static/images/user/7.jpg" alt="Gamified Health Interventions: Mobile Games for Promoting Mental Well-Being" title="Gamified Health Interventions: Mobile Games for Promoting Mental Well-Being" class="lazyload"> </div> <div class="text"> <strong>Ryan Morgan</strong> <span>2025-02-07 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-963926812176.mit-edu.top/post/9672804153"> <img src="https://x.mit-edu.top/static/images/post/12.jpg" alt="Cryptographic Approaches for Securing Player-to-Player Transactions in Virtual Worlds" title="Cryptographic Approaches for Securing Player-to-Player Transactions in Virtual Worlds" class="img-fluid lazyload"> </a> </div> <div class="content"> <div class="post-meta mb-3"> <a href="https://blog-9672804153.mit-edu.top/post/9672804153/" target="_blank"> <span class="date">2025-02-07</span> </a> </div> <h2 class="heading"><a href="https://blog-963926812176.mit-edu.top/post/9672804153">Cryptographic Approaches for Securing Player-to-Player Transactions in Virtual Worlds</a></h2> <p class="info">Esports has risen as a global phenomenon, transforming skilled gamers into celebrated athletes.
