온라인게임에서 사용자 인터랙션에 의한 디지털 이미지의 가치 형성에 관한 연구 = The Value Formation of Digital Image by Users' Interaction in Online Games

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

Online games take place by the interactions among users and their contents change endlessly with their organic characteristics. Especially, digital images that make a great impact on game play such as characters or items form their own value beyond the establishment scope of their designer even outside of the game world. The users who pay fees for using them establish the concept of possession for the images and information designed in the games. Then, business transactions are formed among them who are in agreement with their values and their possession rights can be changed. In this way, digital images in the online games form new values by the interaction among other users or game systems. Meanwhile, the more the interaction and a sense of solidarity in the community increase, the higher their value becomes.
