Abstract:
How do game companies manipulate you into spending more money just by their menu design? How can you make your game characters more attractive? What is in a great game that makes us say “just one more round?” Is there a link between violent video games and violence? (Spoiler alert: no) All of these questions and more will be addressed in this lecture.

Venue: Room 0.65, Campus Taguspark.
