Business Finance

Write 1 page (12pt, double-spaced) on the following topics:

(PART A) Economics & Design: Speculate about how economics likely influenced the design of your chosen game. Does it easily fit into one of the 4 “economic platforms” identified by Deterding (free-to-play, “AAA,” pay-to-play, indie), or is it some combination or exception? How does it make money, if it does? Does it try extend “time on machine” and keep players playing?

(PART B) Labor & Business: How was your chosen game actually created? For this part, you will probably have to do a little bit of internet research, finding articles, videos, or blog/media posts about the design and production process for your game. IF YOU CAN’T FIND ANYTHING, consider looking for information about other aspects of the business behind your chosen game: how was it funded? how was it marketed & distributed? how was it received by consumers & reviewers? Or maybe look for information about the studio that created it.
