Résumé

Today, consumers of video games spend over $22.4 billion each year. Using more complex and multilayered strategies, game developers attempt to extend the profitability of their products from simple one-time sales to continuous engagement with consumers. The Evolution and Social Impact of Video Game Economics examines paradigmatic changes in the economic structure of the video game industry from a media effects and game design perspective.
This book explores how game developers have changed how they engage players in order to facilitate continuous financial transactions. Contributors look from the advent of microtransactions and downloadable content to the impact of planned obsolescence, impulse buying, and emotional control. This collection takes a broad view of the game dynamics and market forces that drive the video game industry and features international contributors from Asia, Europe, and Australia.
