The Monetisation of Children in the Digital Games Industry

这个项目旨在了解儿童在数字游戏行业中的货币化。它将对儿童在免费增值游戏中的体验进行创新研究；父母的态度和策略；与游戏开发商的参与性研究；以及对塑造游戏货币化的平台和监管环境的审查。预期成果包括为寻求谈判儿童数字游戏的父母提供指导和建议；为儿童数字游戏的设计和实施制定新的道德框架；为政策制定者和实践者提供可操作的建议。这将通过改进儿童游戏的设计，为澳大利亚的儿童、家长和游戏开发商带来重大好处。

This project aims to understand the monetisation of children in the digital games industry. It will employ innovative studies of children’s experiences in freemium games; parental attitudes and strategies; participatory research with game developers; and an examination of the platform and regulatory environment that shapes game monetisation. Expected outcomes include guidelines and recommendations for parents seeking to negotiate children’s digital play; new ethical frameworks for the design and implementation of digital games for children; and actionable advice for policymakers and practitioners. This will bring significant benefits to Australian children, parents and game developers via improvements to the design of games for children.
