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-affhptyzj.mit-edu.top/post/6512879034" class="post-author d-flex align-items-center"> <div class="author-pic"> <img src="https://x.mit-edu.top/static/images/user/10.jpg" alt="Assessing the Efficacy of Gamified Assessments in Higher Education" title="Assessing the Efficacy of Gamified Assessments in Higher Education" class="lazyload"> </div> <div class="text"> <strong>Deborah Sanchez</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-affhptyzj.mit-edu.top/post/6815439702"> <img src="https://x.mit-edu.top/static/images/post/13.jpg" alt="Gamifying Behavioral Interventions: Applications in Healthcare and Education" title="Gamifying Behavioral Interventions: Applications in Healthcare and Education" class="img-fluid lazyload"> </a> </div> <div class="content"> <div class="post-meta mb-3"> <a href="https://blog-6815439702.mit-edu.top/post/6815439702/" target="_blank"> <span class="date">2025-02-05</span> </a> </div> <h2 class="heading"><a href="https://blog-affhptyzj.mit-edu.top/post/6815439702">Gamifying Behavioral Interventions: Applications in Healthcare and Education</a></h2> <p class="info">This research examines the role of geolocation-based augmented reality (AR) games in transforming how urban spaces are perceived and interacted with by players.
