However, as series co-editor William Urrichio noted, 'If Playful Thinking seeks to distinguish itself from mainstream academic work on games by addressing an audience that includes designers, it's probably a good idea to have a text from a designer in the series, especially one who can make the case for "why theory".' Achievement Relocked is about Loss Aversion, and the way it can manipulate player experiences. Loss Aversion is a core effect in human psychology. Simply stated, losses make people feel worse than gains make them feel better. In other words, the negative emotions from losing $100 are stronger than the positive emotions from gaining $100 -- about twice as strong according to a variety of experiments. The fundamental aspect of Loss Aversion to human psychology is very deep, and touches a wide variety of phenomenon, most of which are directly relevant to game design. Achievement Relocked explores framing, regret, competence, and many other effects, and their relation to players' relationship with the game experience. This gives a fascinating lens through which to view many design choices"--cProvided by publisher. 7aVideo gamesxDesign.2BUEsh 7aComputer gamesxDesign.2BUEsh 7aLoss aversion.2BUEsh 7aVideo gamesxPsychological aspects.2BUEsh 7aComputer gamesxPsychological aspects.2BUEsh  bART2GD  vReading book  a7bcbccorignewd1eecipf20gy-gencatlg  2ddccBB  c30511d30482  00102ddc40708BaccahaMAINbMAINc2NDd2023-09-04ePurchaseg1223.00h37586l2m4o794.83 ENGp000056856q2026-05-16r2026-04-30 00:00:00s2026-04-30v1528.75w2023-09-04yBB  00102ddc40708BaccahaMAINbMAINc2NDd2026-05-05ePurchaseg1601.00h40254l0o794.83 ENGp000057632r2026-05-05 00:00:00v2001.25w2026-05-05yBB
