Addiction and services in the Land of Casual Gaming
He is the new watchword: micro-transactions. What does this mean? Money. Who are the businesses, social networking sites, and through its links between the receipt of the money?
The answer is "casual gamers. What is a casual player? These are the people who play mini-games, or games that focus on a few tasks. They will not go to game store and invest in the latest console.
However, they spend hours on games like Farmville, updates Wars Vampire, or Mafia Wars including frequent checks on the status friends. I know because I often scoffed at my wife to control her cakes at Café City Kitchen farm, Pius wars, or what they call.
How companies are extracting money from people who play "free" games? This is simple tasks of upgrading and is much more time in these games, a lot of dedication. But you can prepare the ground a little, buying cards different trinkets and special items with real money.
How? Well, I joined a game "casual" recently Kongregate more. And I really should stop complaining about how much time passes World Cafe my wife. Seriously. These little games are addictive because they were built to be.
Pavlovian are strengthened. Many small reward, no sense that strengthen their customs are available immediately after the completion of a task equally meaningless. The need to raise funds, increase greatest empire, to build a cross statistics: These factors are all there in abundance.
The worst problem is, despite their are aware of the existence of the problem, you can not do something. You need to grow or stagnate. There is always something you could do, gradually increase your progress. This is a potential demand, as a human being … do not miss out on foot, or stop smoking completely.
It is this demand, and the sense of community embodied in some of those games that keeps you involved. Peer pressure and the need to achieve two major pressures on anyone's life. These games are a masterful job of implementing these psychological forces in a manner devastating and debilitating.
Not surprisingly, Zynga (manufacturer of Farmville, Mafia Wars, World Café, etc.) has been recently estimated at nearly $ 3 billion. You heard me right. The money they make when people spend $ 5 here and $ 10 there, in addition to significant revenues.
Addiction is a major problem for many senior players, and each time the level of the square, they add more functions, which increases the likelihood that players be addicted to gambling.
How "casual" can play, if you have a large population of drug addicts? And when you start to see addiction counselors game become a major source? Who was once the domain of hardcore gamers like World of Warcraft, Halo and I played a too. Now, perhaps a grandmother Meg requiring action.
The question is to ask, in effect, asked to be asked: Forbidden Games future because of its addictive nature? You can laugh at this, but I can predict lawsuits in the near future, saying that people could not avoid spending money, or the quest, or even get the plate of ultimate meaning.
Will we one day of these games, according to their levels of commitment? They are regulating Gore in Australia, why not something that feels a compulsion to buy, research, or save?
But people got tired of these games and move on? It is unlikely, but … I hold the level, and add some fans of my character. Back in five, I promise you …
