One more header post here. When i created this blog, i wanted to write not only about games and post stuff like video trailers and reviews - like the majority of gaming bloggers usually do - but i wanted to talk about online games inner working. Why some games are better than other? What these "other" do lack in comparison with the "better" one? How they make people sit and play, and play, and play day and night, until they drop out of their work or college, or worse? Why so many people pay for online games – and many of them pay hundreds of dollars or even more. Of course, it happens not just by itself, but as planned by people who make games. And my education in advertisement allows me to see through many of these tricks – this is what i am going to write about.
This post will be upgraded with the links when i write new articles.
