Loot Boxes: The World of Microgambling in Video Games

Hello friends! 🤖

We (Samuel, Eva, & Cléa) are looking forward to presenting to you all on Tuesday! 

We will be discussing the legal and psychological world of loot boxes (such a cool topic, we know – you snooze, you lose!). In preparation for Tuesday, here is an outline of our presentation, and a spoiler – we will be also conducting an experiment at the beginning of class (with tasty prizes – gif hint below). 

1. What is a loot box?
2. EXPERIMENT TIME 
3. The psychology behind loot boxes
4. Is there truth to parental worrying regarding loot boxes? 
5. How are they being regulated in Canada and in other parts of the world?
6. Should there be more/less done?
7. Class questions

Can’t wait to see you all then, and we will update this post with our slides after class!

Cheers! 🎮🍩
