物质性、再中介化与数字劳动：作为媒介物的游戏虚拟货币

游戏虚拟货币的本质是一种由代码构筑而成的媒介物，它容纳、聚集了包含人际交往、阶层权力与媒介信息在内的一系列社会关系，成为具备能动性和多向化的流动技术集合，并借助媒介物的主动作用生成、再造了特殊的媒介场景，消融了游戏内外的虚实界限， 在影响了玩家的情感体验的同时也导致了玩家时间体系的崩溃， 再造了游戏的整体叙事。作为玩工数字劳动过程中的重要媒介中介物，游戏玩家通过赚取、出售与购买游戏虚拟货币，不断加速自身的游戏进程，迫使游戏行为转变为一类劳动与竞赛，并由此衍生出“金币农夫”这一数字劳动群体。围绕游戏虚拟货币的生产与交易，玩工经历了包括肉身姿态劳动、情绪劳动、数字虚体劳动以及性别剥削在内的一系列劳动剥削。这些多样态的劳动剥削问题最终导向了游戏虚拟货币大工厂体系的建立。通过建构双重身体劳动与制造“同意”的生产政体，游戏资本进一步夺取了玩工的多重劳动成果，并借助虚拟货币驯化玩工，促使玩工接受货币化的商业逻辑。不过，游戏虚拟货币所导致的异化与加速现象也引发了玩家开始进行自发性的另类媒介实践。借助一些远离官方管制的媒介，玩家尝试对游戏资本做出一定程度的抵抗。玩工们通过主体再造、技术反垄断以及自我劳动时间管理等方式生成了另类的媒介活动，尝试复归自身的生命政治权力。与此同时，来自游戏社群的反制也促生了数据共产主义的萌芽，使得游戏最原初的“乌托邦”性质有望回归于游戏之中，以此反抗游戏虚拟货币引发的逐步异化。总的来说，作为一种数码媒介物， 游戏虚拟货币已经悄无声息地掌控了游戏内外的经济格局， 重塑了 “玩工”们的数字劳动实践，创造了影响真实世界的“新现实” 。

The Essence Of In -Game Virtual Currency Is A Medium Con Structed By Code That Contains And Aggregates A Series Of Social Relationships, Including Interpersonal Communication, Hierarchical Power, And Media Information. It Has Become A Fluid And Multifaceted Flow Technology Set With Agency, Which Generates And Re Creates Special Media Scenes Through The Active Role Of The Medium And Dissolves The Boundaries Between The Virtual And Real World In Games. This Not Only Affects The Emotional Experience Of Players But Also Leads To The Collapse Of The Player'S Time Syste M And Recreates The Overall Narrative Of The Game. As An Important Intermediary In The Process Of Playbour, Game Players Continuously Accelerate Their Game Progress By Earning, Selling, And Buying Virtual Game Currency, Forcing Game Behavior To Transform Into A Type Of Labor And Competition, Which Has Led To The Emergence Of The "Gold Farmer" Digital Labor Group. Around The Production And Trading Of In -Game Virtual Currency, Playbour Has Experienced A Series Of Labor Exploitation, Including Physical Posture Labor, Emotional Labor, Digital Labor, And Gender Exploitation. These Diverse Labor Exploitation Issues Ultimately Led To The Establishment Of A Game Virtual Currency Factory System. By Constructing A Dual -Body Labor And Manufacturing A "Consent" Producti On Regime, Game Capital Further Seizes The Multiple Labor Results Of Playbour And Uses Virtual Currency To Domesticate It, Prompting Playbour To Accept The Commercial Logic Of Monetization. However, The Alienation And Acceleration Caused By In -Game Virtual Currency Have Also Led To Players Engaging In Spontaneous Alternative Media Practices. Using Some Media Far From Official Regulation, Players Try To Resist Game Capital To A Certain Extent. Through Alternative Media Activities Such As Subject Reconstructi On, Technological Anti-Monopoly, And Self-Labor Time Management, Playbours Have Tried To Restore Their Life Political Power. At The Same Time, The Countermeasures From The Game Community Have Also Led To The Emergence Of Data Communism, Making The Game'S O Riginal "Utopian" Nature Likely To Return To The Game And Resist The Gradual Alienation Caused By In -Game Virtual Currency. Overall, As A Digital Medium, In -Game Virtual Currency Has Quietly Controlled The Economic Pattern Inside And Outside Of The Game, R Eshaped The Digital Labor Practices Of "Playbours", And Created A "New Reality" That Affects The Real World.
