<p class="lead mb-4 text-center">Thanks to Amy Ward for contributing the article "Understanding the Role of Competence and Autonomy in Player Retention: A Self-Determination Theory Perspective". </p> <img src="https://x.mit-edu.top/static/images/post/20.jpg" alt="Understanding the Role of Competence and Autonomy in Player Retention: A Self-Determination Theory Perspective" title="Understanding the Role of Competence and Autonomy in Player Retention: A Self-Determination Theory Perspective" class="img-fluid rounded mb-4 lazyload"> <p>This study examines the political economy of mobile game development, focusing on the labor dynamics, capital flows, and global supply chains that underpin the mobile gaming industry. The research investigates how outsourcing, labor exploitation, and the concentration of power in the hands of large multinational corporations shape the development and distribution of mobile games. Drawing on Marxist economic theory and critical media studies, the paper critiques the economic models that drive the mobile gaming industry and offers a critical analysis of the ethical, social, and political implications of the industry's global production networks.</p><p>This paper examines how mobile games can enhance players’ psychological empowerment by improving their self-efficacy and confidence through gameplay. The research investigates how game mechanics such as challenges, achievements, and skill development contribute to a player's sense of mastery and competence. Drawing on psychological theories of self-efficacy and motivation, the study explores how mobile games can be designed to provide players with a sense of accomplishment and personal growth, particularly in games that focus on skill-based tasks, puzzles, and strategy. The paper also explores the impact of mobile games on players' overall well-being, particularly in terms of their confidence and ability to overcome challenges in real life.</p><p>This research critically examines the ethical considerations of marketing practices in the mobile game industry, focusing on how developers target players through personalized ads, in-app purchases, and player data analysis. The study investigates the ethical implications of targeting vulnerable populations, such as minors, by using persuasive techniques like loot boxes, microtransactions, and time-limited offers. Drawing on ethical frameworks in marketing and consumer protection law, the paper explores the balance between business interests and player welfare, emphasizing the importance of transparency, consent, and social responsibility in game marketing. The research also offers recommendations for ethical advertising practices that avoid manipulation and promote fair treatment of players.</p><p>This paper examines the role of multiplayer mobile games in facilitating socialization, community building, and the formation of online social networks. The study investigates how multiplayer features such as cooperative gameplay, competitive modes, and guilds foster interaction among players and create virtual communities. Drawing on social network theory and community dynamics, the research explores the impact of multiplayer mobile games on players' social behavior, including collaboration, communication, and identity formation. The paper also evaluates the potential negative effects of online gaming communities, such as toxicity, exclusion, and cyberbullying, and offers strategies for developers to promote positive social interaction and inclusive communities in multiplayer games.</p><p>This paper offers a post-structuralist analysis of narrative structures in mobile games, emphasizing how game narratives contribute to the construction of player identity and agency. It explores the intersection of game mechanics, storytelling, and player interaction, considering how mobile games as “digital texts” challenge traditional notions of authorship and narrative control. Drawing upon the works of theorists like Michel Foucault and Roland Barthes, the paper examines the decentralized nature of mobile game narratives and how they allow players to engage in a performative process of meaning-making, identity construction, and subversion of preordained narrative trajectories.</p> <p> <a href="/redirect/?url=https://741412.mit-edu.top/post/1495287306"
