Games and Gaming Culture: Play to Pay: The Machinations of Microtransactions & the Lure of Loot Boxes

TLS have been very busy boys recently, but a few of us found some moments to spare this year to attend, and one of us to actually present again at the 29th Mid-Atlantic Pop & American Culture Association (MAPACA).

Always a great time put on by a fantastic and important organization. Hopefully next year more of the crew will make it, but for now, enjoy this talk given by our very own Scott Thurlow.
