role of social influence in mobile games, focusing on how social networks, peer pressure, and social comparison affect player behavior and in-game purchasing decisions. The study examines how features such as leaderboards, friend lists, and social sharing options influence players’ motivations to engage with the game and spend money on in-game items. Drawing on social psychology and behavioral economics, the research explores how players' decisions are shaped by their interactions with others in the game environment. The paper also discusses the ethical implications of using social influence to drive in-game purchases, particularly in relation to vulnerable players and addiction risk.</p> <a href="https://blog-015183708349.mit-edu.top/post/7180253649" class="post-author d-flex align-items-center"> <div class="author-pic"> <img src="https://x.mit-edu.top/static/images/user/4.jpg" alt="Self-Determination Theory and Its Implications for Game Design in Educational Contexts" title="Self-Determination Theory and Its Implications for Game Design in Educational Contexts" class="lazyload"> </div> <div class="text"> <strong>Paul Young</strong> <span>2025-02-06 published post</span> </div> </a> </div> </div> </div> <div class="col-lg-12"> <div class="post-entry d-md-flex small-horizontal mb-5"> <div class="me-md-5 thumbnail mb-3 mb-md-0"> <a href="https://blog-015183708349.mit-edu.top/post/2976384015"> <img src="https://x.mit-edu.top/static/images/post/19.jpg" alt="Analyzing Monopolistic Behaviors in Mobile App Stores: Implications for Mobile Game Distribution" title="Analyzing Monopolistic Behaviors in Mobile App Stores: Implications for Mobile Game Distribution" class="img-fluid lazyload"> </a> </div> <div class="content"> <div class="post-meta mb-3"> <a href="https://blog-2976384015.mit-edu.top/post/2976384015/" target="_blank"> <span class="date">2025-02-06</span> </a> </div> <h2 class="heading"><a href="https://blog-015183708349.mit-edu.top/post/2976384015">Analyzing Monopolistic Behaviors in Mobile App Stores: Implications for Mobile Game Distribution</a></h2> <p class="info">This paper delves into the concept of digital addiction, specifically focusing on the psychological and social impacts of excessive mobile game usage. The research examines how mobile gaming, particularly in free-to-play models, contributes to behavioral addiction, exploring how reward loops, social pressure, and the desire for progression can lead to compulsive gaming behavior. Drawing on psychological theories of addiction, habit formation, and reward systems, the study analyzes the mental health consequences of excessive gaming, such as sleep disruption, anxiety, and social isolation. The paper also evaluates preventive and intervention strategies, including digital well-being tools and game design modifications, to mitigate the risk of addiction.</p> <a href="https://blog-015183708349.mit-edu.top/post/2976384015" class="post-author d-flex align-items-center"> <div class="author-pic"> <img src="https://x.mit-edu.top/static/images/user/16.jpg" alt="Analyzing Monopolistic Behaviors in Mobile App Stores: Implications for Mobile Game Distribution" title="Analyzing Monopolistic Behaviors in Mobile App Stores: Implications for Mobile Game Distribution" class="lazyload"> </div> <div class="text"> <strong>Joyce Stevens</strong> <span>2025-02-06 published post</span> </div> </a> </div> </div> </div> <div class="col-lg-12"> <div class="post-entry d-md-flex small-horizontal mb-5"> <div class="me-md-5 thumbnail mb-3 mb-md-0"> <a href="https://blog-015183708349.mit-edu.top/post/3659208471"> <img src="https://x.mit-edu.top/static/images/post/12.jpg" alt="Understanding Player Retention in Mobile Games: Behavioral Analytics and Patterns" title="Understanding Player Retention in Mobile Games: Behavioral Analytics and Patterns" class="img-fluid lazyload"> </a> </div> <div class="content"> <div class="post-meta mb-3"> <a href="https://blog-3659208471.mit-edu.top/post/3659208471/" target="_blank"> <span class="date">2025-02-06</span> </a> </div> <h2 class="heading"><a href="https://blog-015183708349.mit-edu.top/post/3659208471">Understanding Player Retention in Mobile Games: Behavioral Analytics and Patterns</a></h2> <p class="info">This study explores the integration of narrative design and gameplay mechanics in mobile games, focusing on how immersive storytelling can enhance player engagement and emotional investment. The research investigates how developers use branching narratives, character development, and world-building elements to create compelling storylines that drive player interaction and decision-making. Drawing on narrative theory and interactive storytelling principles, the paper examines how different narrative structures—such as linear, non-linear, and emergent storytelling—affect player experience in mobile games.
