It was a typical weekday night after work: Lee slipped off his shoes, climbed into bed with his iPad, and booted up Clash of Clans. The free-to-play strategy game, in which he went by the name "Metamorphaz," had quickly become a favorite stress-reliever for him. After the game's logo faded away, a sprawling virtual village popped into view. ... Then, he pulled up Clash of Clan's built-in, real-money shop.
