» The Psychology of Video Games
psychologyofgames.com aims to use the science of psychology (queue thunderclap) to answer three broad classes of questions:
- Why do gamers do what they do?
- Why do those designing games do what they do?
- Why do those marketing and selling games do what they do?
Why do people get so excited about loot drops in games like World of Warcraft?
Why do developers keep dumping good money after bad on a doomed project?
Why do gamers stay up late playing just one more level, despite the fact that they know they have to get up for school or work in the morning?
