You have no idea the amount of psychology and research that goes into manipulating people in mobile games. The Manhattan Project wishes it had the level of science that goes into Candy Crush.
- dylan604 2y agoagain though, making something more addictive to continue playing the game is still not the same as experimenting on someone's emotional well being, confusing real life vs post-fact make believe
- BadHumans 2y agoGame studios are quite literally producing research papers about using their game to experiment on their player's emotional well being. Riot Games and League of Legends being one of the most notorious examples but more than a few studios do this.
- eatsyourtacos 2y agoThat's MOBILE games.. it's not video games in general. Yes, 99% of mobile games are utter crap that don't try to create an actual game, only a way to make money. My kids have only played a handful of mobile games but they have been deep into computer games for 8-10 years. You absolutely cannot just lump video games in general into that. Not to mention that I want my kids to be kids and have fun, they have also learned an insane amount from playing video games.. whether it be helping with their reading, math, optimization, and also social learning.. learning how to play together and with their friends, having conflicts and resolving them etc.
